Wikileaks is merely the messenger, and the information THEY obtained appears to be only some of the information that the CIA leaker has already released into the wild to others besides Wikileaks.
The real question is whether the FBI was unaware of these massively damaging leaks and only knows of the leaks now because of Wikileaks exposure. If so, then Wikileaks is a hero.
The second question is whether the CIA itself was unaware of these leaks or if they were covering them up. Either way, Wikileaks is a hero here as well.
If WaPo was a REAL newspaper rather than merely being a propaganda arm and cheerleader for the Dem party, it would have pointed out that the two questions above are the real crux of the matter.
Also, the Wikileaks Press Release about this is a fascinating read:

Among other things, your Samsung Smart TV is spying on you, and the CIA has stolen Russian Federation hacking tools and have used themselves to hack into various systems to steal data and at the same time leave bona fide fingerprints that “the Russians did it”.
Wikileaks has noted:
“The CIA’s Remote Devices Branch’s UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques ‘stolen’ from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.”
“With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the “fingerprints” of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.”
Now, what was that again about “Russian” hacking, WaPo?
BTW, I wonder if the FBI has a clue that much of the “Russian hacking” they have been investigating may very well have been done by the CIA? If not, they do now!
“your Samsung Smart TV is spying on you,
Hope they like watching my cat sleep in the recliner in front of the tv. And car shows and Oak Island!
The 64K question that no one has asked the FBI is exactly how did the FBI determine that the Russians hacked the DNC without even looking? Particularly pertinent question in light of UMBRA.
Well said!
