Saturday on Twitter, Assange highlighted an article from Thursday where the Financial Times noted how many Syrian rebels are getting salaries from the CIA.

Assange said they "buried the lede":

To be fair, leaking is a major problem, specifically the leaking to overthrow our democratically elected president by deep state cronies who are using America's massive spy apparatus — which was supposed to be used against foreigners — to sabotage our president through targeted leaks to their accomplices in the controlled media.

It's understandable Pompeo doesn't want the CIA to be leaking like a sieve, but let's look at some of these recent leakers.

• Bradley Manning leaked information on US war crimes in the neocon war in Iraq.

• Snowden leaked information on the US spying apparatus being used domestically against Americans rather than against foreigners as promised.

• Reality Winner was a stupid little girl who should have never been hired if the government still had basic standards and wasn't more interested in hiring in the name of "diversity" rather than ability.
