PARIS (AP) — WikiLeaks has published thousands of documents that it says come from the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence, a dramatic release that appears to give an eye-opening look at the intimate details of the agency’s cyberespionage effort.
The dump could not immediately be authenticated by The Associated Press and the CIA did not return repeated messages seeking comment, but WikiLeaks has a long track record of releasing top secret government documents.
One expert who examined the dump, Rendition Infosec founder Jake Williams, told the AP it appeared legitimate.
If it does prove legitimate, the dump will represent yet another catastrophic breach for the U.S. intelligence community at the hands of WikiLeaks and its allies, which have repeatedly humbled Washington with the mass release of classified material.

Hmmm. Part of a Wikileaks/Putin plan to help trump discredit the US IC ahead of any investigations?
interesting little dilemma for the dipshit in chief (“DIC”).
on the one hand, he has spent over a month in a spittle-flecked rage over leaks of classified information. this, of course, is a MASSIVE potential [wiki]leak of highly classified information.
on the other hand, julian is the DIC’s boy toy.
what to do, what to do.
OH!! i’ve got it! “this is because that bad (and sick) african muslim obama didn’t secure our most precious secrets because he hates america. what a bad (and sick) muslim african. this is the muslim african’s fault. also, the nazi intelligence community.”
It is curious that Wikileaks never seems to come up with documents from the FSB, isn’t it?
I think it’s distinctly possible that Wikileaks is being aided by Russia-sponsored moles within the American IC community.
If the Democrats can’t figure out how to use this to brand Trump—and the Republican Party—as enemies of American security and interests, they might as well fold up shop.
I have a faint hope that the CIA/IC braintrust purposefully “allowed” a planned batch of information to be vulnerable to Wikileaks as a means of identifying who’s helping them on the inside.
If they don’t have a means to stop this, then no American intelligence asset anywhere in the world is safe, including those in the Middle East working against ISIS and other Islamic terror groups.
