Washington Post is talking about Joshua Schulte as a suspect in a C_A cyber tools leaker to Wikileaks (Vault 7):

There are some things about this case that smell fishy, like a possible CIA dirty tricks op against him:
- he had reported CIA “incompetent management and bureaucracy” to the IG and Congressional oversight
- he previously worked for NSA
- he left CIA during 2016, which would be during some of the most corrupt times at the Agency
- the search warrants didn't yield anything showing he leaked
- they flagged that he'd used TOR, but lots of people do that, particularly in his line of work
- he's being held on "child porn" charges related to a shared server that about 50 to 100 people have access to
- the FBI waited six months to bring the child porn charges
Dropping some child porn on a server would be an easy setup of him.
I wonder if he knows some dirty secrets and someone wants to keep him quiet?
