Full title: Pete Hoekstra on CIA WikiLeaks: We Can’t Trust Spy Agencies If They ‘Can’t Protect Their Own Data from Outside Intruders’

Former Michigan Congressman Pete Hoekstra, onetime chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, discussed the CIA WikiLeaks “Vault 7” documents with SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily.

“Is somebody from the CIA watching me through my television as I get undressed every night?” Kassam asked.

“I don’t think so,” Hoekstra replied with tongue in cheek. “My experience with the CIA and NSA, although some of the recent disclosures have caused me some concern, are that the CIA and the intelligence community are really very, very good at making sure that the tremendous tools that they develop, that they only use those against the bad guys, the non-Americans. They don’t use it inside of our borders, and they don’t target Americans.”

"“How confident can we be that there may not be a rogue element in the intelligence community that are using these very sophisticated and powerful tools against Americans and using them in places where they’re not supposed to be used?” Hoekstra asked. “If they can’t protect their own data from outside intruders, how can we be sure that this information and these tools aren’t being used by people inside in ways that they shouldn’t?”"

President Trump, start by draining the swamp. Then take a good look at determining what the intelligent agencies are doing. I have a real fear of data mining all of America. Looks like all our privacy is gone.
