‘CIA leaks like a sieve, Obama’s holdovers should be probed' - Roger Stone, former Trump adviser

RT: Could the intelligence agencies be mounting some sort of an unofficial coup there? What’s actually happening with this souring relationship between Trump and the intelligence community?

RS: First of all, let’s review the record of the Central Intelligence Agency. They lied about torture in the Iraq war, they lied about weapons of mass destruction being held by Saddam Hussein, they lied about Iran-Contra, they lied about Vietnam, they lied about the Kennedy assassination. This is what spies do – they lie. And the only CIA officer today loyal to the President is the Director who has only recently been confirmed. In the second and third levels of the agency you still have Obama’s holdovers, consequently the place leaks like a sieve. For example, the leaks regarding General Flynn. My advice to the President would be to clean house and appoint people loyal to your administration to intelligence agencies.
