Report: CIA, FBI hunting for insider who gave docs to WikiLeaks
The Hill ^ | 4/19/17 | By Max Greenwood

Posted on 04/19/2017 4:50:38 PM PDT by blueyon

The CIA and the FBI are looking for the person responsible for leaking top-secret material detailing CIA tools for surveilling smartphones and other devices, CBS News reported Wednesday.

The leaker is believed to be an agency insider, CBS News reported, citing sources familiar with the probe. The manhunt is part of a joint agency investigation into a massive security breach that led to the release of thousands of documents by the website WikiLeaks.

Many of the documents were held in a highly-secure part of the CIA, meaning that the leaker would most likely have to be someone in the agency. But hundreds of agency employees and contractors are said to have had access to the documents.

Investigators are beginning to comb through those names.

WikiLeaks said in a statement that it had obtained the material from a former contractor.

No kidding. That’s why the Democrats had him finished off. He didn’t seem alarmed getting off his cell phone. Sounds like he was familiar with whomever was coming.

Of course, they didn’t want his watch, cell phone, wallet, credit cards. At least 2 of which could be immediately tracked (if used, or even if not used in the case of the phone).

I’d bet that Brennan, Comey & Clapper are in the middle of it.

Once again it seems Assange was telling the truth, and the “intelligence community” was lying. Again, how is WikiLeaks doing anything different than the NY Times?

Our Government is out of control.

Since 9/11 our government has imported an inordinate number of Muslims many of whom want to kill us.

Therefore, our government violates our privacy rights by ‘wire tapping’ our cell phones and computer communications so they can keep the inordinate number of imported Muslims, many of whom want to kill us, from killing us.

Ain’t America great or what????

And I’d bet my next paycheck that Trump has ordered patriots in the CIA and FBI to find the traitors leaking documents to the communist democrat party and the seditious media.

That’s like someone breaking into houses, and their brother coming by next week to sell you an alarm system.
Our government CREATES the danger, then wants to crack down on us to fix the very danger they create.

He's dead; the Clinton Crime Family Foundation Syndicate (CCFFS) bosses Hildabeast and Horn-dog Bill had him permanently "silenced". Translation: they had him "Arkansided" = KILLED.

The Obomination, CCFFS owned and run FBI and their agents are an utter disgrace. They will never find "the source" because it was Seth, Seth is dead and his death ultimately points to the CCFFS and "the bosses", and that will never do!
