          All in a once great nation. Tough to put stuff like that back in the box.

            Doesn't this mean that the CIA is no longer a source of trustworthy information?

              The ability to turn on things like phones and even voice activated TVs to eavesdrop on people isn't exactly news.

                No, but the CIA being able to remotely take control of people's cars, or hack into systems while leaving "fingerprints" of foreign governments certainly is!

                Another juicy tidbit I've seen is that the CIA was apparently paying software developers to leave vulnerabilities in their software to make it easier to hack.

                    Oh, so now the FBI is suddenly hot and bothered about someone leaking information to the press. Funny how they haven't a said a peep about the numerous leaks designed to hurt Trump.

                    Source: The Washington Post

                    The FBI has begun preparing for a major mole hunt to determine how anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks got an alleged arsenal of hacking tools the CIA has used to spy on espionage targets, according to people familiar with the matter.

                    The leak rattled government and technology industry officials, who spent Tuesday scrambling to determine the accuracy and scope of the thousands of documents released by the group. They were also trying to assess the damage the revelations may cause, and what damage may come from future releases promised by WikiLeaks, these people said.

                      So either the CIA has a mole or moles who released the information (if true and not fake info) and software, OR the CIA itself got hacked. Either scenario is pretty scary in itself.

                          According to WikiLeaks, the CIA has employed thousands of contractors over the past several years, many of whom helped themselves to the data and hacking tools. So this stuff has actually been "in the wild" for quite some time, we just didn't know about it.

                            ... and apparently neither did the CIA or the Federal Govt. Which is pretty bad. Either that or the CIA did know and didn't report it, which is even worse.

                              The CIA then should know the truth about all the Trump-Russia connections.

                              If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

                                They do, and the truth is, there is no connection.
