A former CIA employee was charged Monday with stealing classified national defense information from the agency that emerged publicly in March 2017, when WikiLeaks began releasing some of the CIA’s hacking tools.
Joshua Adam Schulte, of Manhattan, was charged in a 13-count superseding indictment returned by a grand jury. He was expected to be arraigned on the charges on Wednesday.
Funny. He doesn’t sound Russian.
(Background on the Vault 7 leak here.)
Friendly reminder that:
1. Russia enjoys whatever liberty she possesses in spite of, not because of, the efforts of the CIA.
2. The CIA only ever put much effort into spying on everyone BUT enemies of the United States, preferring to take Soviet disinformation at face value (along with that of its Arab satellites, in the case of Israel).
3. If Russia had any role to play in ensuring the defeat of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, the American people are in her debt.
“Funny. He doesn’t sound Russian.”
I laughed out loud!
Thank you.
The Traitors to our country are piling up. Sad that we no longer EXECUTE such traitors … expeditiously … like we did in the 1950’s. Goodbye Rosenbergs. Now we allow the Traitors flee from American JUSTICE … like to Russia. Why the CIA hasn’t yet fed Snowden a radioactive Pirozhki … shows how complicit and feckless they are … in addition to being overrun with Traitors.
Perhaps in the next 7-years … President Trump can FIX the CIA too … ?
“Sad that we no longer EXECUTE such traitors.”
True, but there is no limit to the depth of the hole we can put them in.
Given the context here (hacking the CIA), I would withhold judgement until after the trial. The CIA is notorious for framing people and possession of child porn is one of their signature strategies. Let us hope he gets a fair trial.
Yes. How does one get a fair trial for crimes against the CIA? Their business is disinformation.
“Given the context here (hacking the CIA)”
It wasn’t hacking. It was good old-fashioned theft of classified documents.
Exactly what Snowden and Manning did.
Funny. He doesn’t sound Russian.
Schulte is, with possible rare exceptions, a Dutch surname.
Yeah well I’m of Dutch extraction and Schulte is a Jewish-Ashkenazi family name.
The Joshua Adam given names would tend to confirm this. But being CIA, he likely would be an American.
Do you think, are there any Jews in Manhattan?
It should be noted Nederland has a history of taking in oppressed peoples that goes back many centuries.
as you say a “history”. today they persecute their own for telling the truth.
Other emails released by wikileaks exposed the DNC for having rigged the primary against Sanders in favour of Clinton. The DNC distracted from its dirty deeds with the “Russian Hacker” tale and the MSM pushed the story.
The left have framed the fight with Trump as an existential one…the forces of good vs the forces of evil…calling Trump a tyrant. One would think that democracy & freedom luvers would be up in arms about the threat to democracy by parties rigging primaries. Instead, the “progressive” posters at CBC were saying that Assange can rot in a jail cell cuz his leaks helped Trump win.
I understand that a lot of misguided Canadians hate Trump — I think it stems from the always latent anti-Americanism — but how any one, ANYONE, could think Hillary would have been a better choice is mind boggling.
Hillary’s campaign cost $1 billion US. It would have been worth it to somebody. Just nobody with any business outside an insane asylum or a prison.
Because they are wilfully ignorant or painfully stupid or both.
yes some of them are dumb ( probably more than half ), but the media has refined to an art brainwashing people into believing that they – the media – tell the truth and everyone else is a liar
and have refined to an art brainwashing people into hating anything non-liberal , the media is so good at it that even high IQ educated people fall for it.
as far as being ignorant well they may be well read and well traveled, be high IQ , have University degrees etc etc but anyone who gets their information from the main stream media is ignorant…and ignorant in at least two ways
ignorant because propaganda is not information… their media makes them more ignorant everyday…the more they watch CNN or CBC or any other of the fake news media the less they know
and ignorant, because one has to be very ignorant to not know that the main stream media are caught regularly spreading fake news, lying and cheating.
Then again choosing to remain lied to, choosing to remain ignorant is very dumb.
ok I give up, most of them are quite dumb.
Canadian Friend: Yes people are ignorant if all they read is CNN or CBC. I find more truth on Blogs, Rebel, Brian Lilley report, Sun News across Canada, Fox (has some honest people) and there is a reliable list of honest reporters or journalist but you have to do the research and lots don’t…to remain ignorant is very dumb!!
peculiar eh, in some hardline right wing circles, leaks and hacks and spilling the beans and whistleblowing is
paramount to the capital crime of treason . . . .
funny that eh?
CIA is a misnomer, s.b CMA, as in Central Meddling Agency. check a history book how many times these blokes put their thumb on the scale and the times it all blew up in their face.
only diff now it’s DOMESTIC.
“””…Schulte took an oath to protect this country, but he blatantly endangered it by the transmission of classified Information.”…”””
That is not very different from the Hillary “matter”
she was secretary of state and took a similar oath ( probably phrased differently ) and she was very careless with classified emails
why is Schulte having the book thrown at him and Hillary is as free as a bird? ( kind of rhetorical… she is a high member of the deep state/swamp, and they protect their own, she is untouchable, she is part of – or she is the head of – the largest crime syndicate on the planet )
