CIA Director Mike Pompeo said he's "counting on" preventing and punishing leakers in the near future.
He said during an interview shown Saturday on MSNBC that the "sole purpose" of WikiLeaks and other similar groups that expose classified government information was to undermine America and democracy. The Trump administration was going to make stopping them a top priority, he said.
"We, and I would say all of President Trump's government, is incredibly focused on both stopping leaks, of any kind, from any agency, and when they happen, pursuing them with incredible vigor. And I think we'll have some successes both on the deterrent side, that is stopping them from happening, as well as on punishing those who we catch, who have done it," Pompeo said in an interview with Hugh Hewitt on his new show.
Asked if stopping and punishing some of these leakers would be happening soon, Pompeo replied: "I'm counting on it."

Lock her up!
You can start with the former FBI director James Comey.
Right! We have his confession.
Need to attack all of the agencys in the IC.
THANK YOU - was about to post that.
Of course, he’ll have to get someone else to do it.
Get Comey’s “friend” too.
Popeo said...”the “sole purpose” of WikiLeaks and other similar groups that ‘expose’ classified government information was to undermine America and democracy.”....
How and what Wiki Leaks chooses to “publish” is not the same as those who knowingly determine to expose the classified information in their realm of control, who have sworn oaths not to reveal.
I am not going to fall for Wiki Leaks being the culprit or target when in fact ‘people working within our government’ are doing the deed and should be punished for doing so.
I hope he succeeds. The uncontrolled leaking makes the administration look incontinent ... er, incompetent.
I attended a memorial service this week for the former head of the Republican Party of Virginia. The topic of conversation during the reception afterward, as the deceased would have loved, was about filling the Trump administration. Many are waiting to hear from the powers that be for Assistant Director of this or the Deputy Director of that... people have been waiting since January to help get rid of the Obama holdovers and drain the swamp.
Of course, it’s difficult to stop FAKE leaks, let alone prosecute them.
Depends?
Wouldn’t THAT dump their hat in the creek.
Yes and the Professor too. He is an accessory.
When OUR GOVERNMENT can stop the leaking like we are finding out then it will time to make the Wiki Leaks decision...until then, HANDS OFF WIKI LEAKS!!!
Or both
I don’t really know about their personal habits.
(obviously that pic is a little out of date!)
