For this week’s episode of ‘Useful Idiots,’ former CIA agent and whistleblower John Kiriakou discusses the Espionage Act and why he left the Democratic party
on his experience in the CIA and being charged with breaking the Espionage Act for speaking out about the torture program in 2012.
Kiriakou also gives his opinion on the Trump-Ukraine whistleblower. He notes that as a former CIA analyst, he didn’t find that the whistleblower’s report was written in the CIA’s writing style. “I think the whole process was hijacked by the CIA’s leadership and the CIA’s attorneys.” His own status as a whistleblower has influenced his decision to leave the Democratic party.
