Former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell believes the leak of CIA documents published this week by WikiLeaks "has to be an inside job."
"This data is not shared outside CIA. It's only inside CIA," Morell said in an interview with "CBS This Morning" on Saturday.
He argued that the data is on CIA's "secret network" that is not connected to other networks.
"It's on CIA's top secret network, which is not connected to any other network. So, this has to be an inside job," he added.

I would rather know it.
That doesn’t necessarily make the leaker a whistleblower. Could have done it for money.
Yeah, but didn't 0bama write an EO on his last days allowing all the intelligence services to share (and disseminate) their data?
This source needs to be considered very carefully.
all hired after 9/11 require extra vetting....
They only have that ability if your smart TV is connected to the internet, but then so do other hackers as well.
My son laughs at my “ancient” Nokia 3585, but it works and does not have the capability of being hacked.
Frankly, one needs to assume that no form of electronic communication is secure from being intercepted. Nor should anything that has the ability to listen or see.
In the days of 300 baud modems and BBS’s, I got cut off while on the computer one night about midnight. So I decided to call it a night. Phone rings and the operator (?) asks what I was doing. I told her and was promptly told “you can’t do that on a phone line.”
Monitoring has been going on for a long time.
Morrell is not to be trusted on the weather outside much less the mugging of Trump by Obama.Murrell was an obama whore IMO
I now have another reason to keep my “dumb” TV.

Morell...the guy responsible for the Benghazi massacre?
Again, other hackers have the same capability if they have the knowledge. I’ve even seen a fictional TV show that had this very same thing as a story line. I believe it was Criminal Minds. Smart houses are yet another source of someone spying on you, government and otherwise. Baby monitor devices are yet another. Digital advances encourage unwanted digital invasion of your privacy.
Or if you get a smart TV, keep it disconnected from the internet. The last time I went shopping I wanted a TV that did not have smart capabilities, however, most of the larger TV’s are smart anymore.
Until leakers are arrested, charged, incarcerated then executed, the leaks will continue.. We MUST get back to the rule of law and enforcement of espionage laws.
Well , D’oh
The CIA has became like the game show Who Do You Trust water boarding to ensue for answers.
Sort of like this?

Once you get one leak under control, something else happens.
Here’s a simple rule that the intelligence community may have overlooked in their quest for clandestine information gathering:
“If you can see the information of your target, your target can also SEE YOU”.
This is especially true with computer based espionage.
This what happens when the staff of an intelligence agency is more or less overtly hostile to its own country.
Flush it, it’s institutionally beyond repair.
