CIA has been leaking like a sieve for twenty years or more. I remember when CIA leaked to the NY Times that we had been tapping Bin Laden's satellite phone. Well, Bin Laden reads the NY Times too, and he promptly dumped the sat phone and conducted business by courier until we caught up with him in Islambad Pakistan some 10-15 years later. That leak by the ever patriotic NY Times probably gave Bin Laden an extra 10 years of life. Way to go.
Then CIA attempted to destabilize the Bush Administration with the leaks that started the Valerie Plame affair, which consumed the MSM for years back in the early ugh-ohs..
Was I a foreign intelligence person, I would not share squat with the Americans because the Americans leak everything to the papers.
Maybe Trump can tighten things up. Bringing charges of mishandling classified data, like they did to David Petraeous might help.
