“WikiLeaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. It has encouraged its followers to find jobs at CIA in order to obtain intelligence... And it overwhelmingly focuses on the United States, while seeking support from anti-democratic countries and organisations,” said Pompeo.
“It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is – a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia.”
Pompeo compared WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange to leakers of the pre-internet days like former CIA official Philip Agee.

This could be the beginning of the end for Wikileaks.
Branding them as spies and “enemies of the state”, is a precursor to going after them, like like we used to do in the old days when spies were treated like spies and prosecuted and even imprisoned. Wikileaks could be taken down some time in the near future, and Assange will be seeking a better place to hide.
Truth hurts, huh. Can’t have any of that truth floating around out there
Considering all the things that have been against Trump and the American People, perhaps it's the CIA that are "enemies of the State". Or maybe "the State" is an enemy of the people.
I don't trust CIA, or any other federal agency. They are not trustworthy.
How is anything WikiLeaks does different than what the NY Times does? It’s not illegal to print stuff leaked by other people.
Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.
Hillary Clingon didn’t challenge the information in one eMail that was released, to my knowledge. She just said it wasn’t fair/legal, whatever.
How is that hostile intelligence?
The CIA might just as well classify every whistle-blower as ‘hostile intelligence’ then.
LOL
YEP
+1
it may be an illegitimate source, but from all I have heard it extremely accurate.
So the CIA says it would rather not have the stuff people are able to steal from them unpublished so we won’t know how easy it is to steal from CIA is that it?
They don’t seem to be a bit ashamed of the fact that it’s so easy to fool them, they just don’t want us to know about it.
Assange is a hero!
I wish I could do as much.
I get it. The CIA is portraying itself as "A VICTIM". That'll get 'em a lot of sympathy.
Really, whatvelse can he say?
Show us where he challenged the truth of anything. He just put a label on Wikileaks.
They are worried about something specific. Big.
Deep.
I lime it!
HOORAY WikiLeaks. The last administration was the most EVIL in the history of this fabulous republic. Do something about that Mike UNIPARTY. This...
...in addition to all of their other traitorous behavior.
