| Pence: US will 'use the full force of the law' on WikiLeaks if CIA leak legit |
| 2017-03-10 |
| [The Hill] Vice President Pence on Thursday vowed that the Trump administration would "use the full force of the law" to go after those involved in WikiLeaks' latest document dump if the materials they released are shown to be valid CIA documents. "Trafficking in national security information, as is alleged WikiLeaks has done here, is a very serious offense," Pence said during an interview on Fox News's "Special Report." "It represents a compromise of the security of the American people," he said. "This president and this administration will take that very seriously and use the full force of the law and resources of the United States to hold all of those to account that were involved," he added. "If proven to be true and confirmed publicly, I can assure you that no resource will be spared in holding those [to] account that have leaked information that could well constitute a compromise of methods and a compromise of national security." |

| #4 Old Ben had it right. I'm torn between distress that the CIA was hacked and secret info leaked, BUT, even more distressed about the nature of the crimes perpetrated by the CIA that were there to be disclosed. |
