Russia Turns Wikileaks CIA Dump Into Disinformation
Two things here:
1. a spy agency that has the ability & tools to spy surely should not shock anyone. Shouldn't we be pleased US agencies are so on the ball they are investigating every single angle in information gathering?
2. there is nothing in these Wikileak's documents that shows the CIA or any US agency used these new methods to spy on US citizens which would be illegal.
Assange & Wikileaks show once again they are partisan political players. It defies belief that the only hacks they receive are anti-Democrat and pro-Trump / Putin.

"Though Russian hackers are not the most likely source behind Tuesday’s WikiLeaks document dump, Russia is certainly taking advantage of it—with bots spreading false memes.

For the second time in a matter of months, U.S. intelligence agencies have suffered a devastating breach of their hacking secrets.
But unlike the last breach in August, an American Central Intelligence Agency worker, not Russian hackers, is the most likely source of a new tranche of documents detailing the methods and tools used by the CIA to steal secrets from foreign governments and terror groups—though some experts have seen signs that Russia is working overtime to take advantage of the disclosure."
