See: Cemetery Wind

After the devastating Battle of Chicago which saw many innocent humans slaughtered during a Decepticon invasion, Dark of the Moon CIA operative Harold Attinger formed a secret cabal of the organization - Cemetery Wind. As far as the White House and general public knew, they were working with the Autobots to hunt down the remaining Decepticons on Earth. In reality, with their members made up of those who lost loved ones to Transformer battles, their goal was to exterminate all Transformers, Autobot and Decepticon alike, working with the non-aligned bounty hunter Lockdown. While there was pleasure to come from exterminating the Earth-bound Transformers, their long-term goal was to harvest enough Transformium for their allies with KSI to produce a man-made army of Transformers to serve the United States military.

Let's be honest: when you are able to go under the nose of the White House and the rest of the CIA itself, damn, you're good. Age of Extinction
