CIA Director Pompeo: WikiLeaks Is ‘a Non-State Hostile Intelligence Service’

EXCERPT:

POMPEO: "Because while we do our best to quietly collect information on those who pose very real threats to our country, individuals such as Julian Assange and Edward Snowden seek to use that information to make a name for themselves. As long as they make a splash, they care nothing about the lives they put at risk or the damage they cause to national security. Wikileaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service, and it's encouraged its followers to find jobs at the CIA in order to obtain intelligence. They directed Chelsea Manning in her theft of specific secret information. It overwhelmingly focuses on the United States while seeking support from anti-democratic countries and organizations. It's time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is: a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia."
