This explosion of leaks coincides with President Obama 11th hour revision of federal policy to allow the widespread sharing of raw data collected by American intelligence agencies. Obama had to know making thousands more government workers privy to sensitive information would exponentially increase the likelihood of leaks.
Why did President Obama wait until the waning days of his eight years in office to do this? Maybe because he wanted to facilitate leaks that he hoped would cripple his predecessor.
“They're dealing with seditious people within the Department of Justice, within the FBI, within the Department of Interior, within the CIA,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said. “There are just people that don't approve of the Trump presidency, and I think that they're trying to take him down from the inside.
“I think you have people within the government, what you call the deep state, bureaucrats, Obama appointees that hate Donald Trump,” Hunter added.
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, agrees.
“Donald Trump needs to purge leftists from the executive branch before disloyal, illegal and treasonous acts sink us,” he tweeted.
It's important that the president begins to hear this and act now.
For months, deep state antagonists have been working overtime to try and delegitimize Donald Trump's presidency. One tactic has been to insinuate - without any evidence - that there was some sort of campaign collusion with Russia.
Even if they did produce evidence, it would be difficult to evaluate in light of the latest revelations published by WikiLeaks. The CIA, according to the disclosures, has sophisticated malware that can make it appear that cyber activity is being conducted by other nations, when, in fact, people within our own government may be responsible. WikiLeaks, in its press release, specifically pointed out that they could be doing this in the case of this Russian campaign meddling narrative.
