Central Intelligence Agency chief Mike Pompeo on Thursday denounced WikiLeaks as a "non-state hostile intelligence service," and he singled out Russia as one of the anti-secrecy organization's top collaborators.

Who can forget that presidential debate in 2012, when the GOP nominee Mitt Romney recalled boastfully that when he was preparing to take office as Massachusetts governor, "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women."
It continues to amaze me, perhaps not, how recalcitrant the media has been in not addressing the horrific global security situation that was bequeathed from the Obama administration to the Trump administration. The misguided vehemence in which the media has pursued a windmill called Russian intervention into our election is quite telling.
