A CIA written Bill called the Intelligence Authorization Act (SB 3153) would criminalize whistleblowers and reporters.

Section 733 Sense of Congress on WikiLeaks:

It is the sense of Congress that WikiLeaks and the senior leadership of WikiLeaks resemble a nonstate hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors and should be treated as such a service by the United States.

The Bill is also known as the Damon Paul Nelson and Matthew Young Pollard Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2018, 2019, and 2020 (H.R. 3494).

Demand Progress warned,

“House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is once again putting the interests of the intelligence agencies in concealing their misdeeds ahead of protecting the rights of ordinary Americans by criminalizing routine reporting by the press on national security issues and undermining congressional oversight in his Intelligence Authorization bill,” said Daniel Schuman, policy director, Demand Progress.

He added: “Schiff’s expansion of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act beyond all reason will effectively muzzle reporting on torture, mass surveillance, and other crimes against the American people — all at the request of the CIA. Schiff is clearly the resistance to the resistance, and he should drop this provision from his bill.”

EDITOR’S NOTE:  Keep in mind that Donald Trump is a big supporter of this bill.  The passage of the bill was obscured by another bill, HR 489, to “condemn Trump’s racist comments against members of congress”.  The media spent all their time on HR 489 and completely ignored the Intelligence Authorization Act.  See how that works?  Smoke and mirrors to hide the truth.  Yet another piece of evidence that indicates the Trump Administration is not on the side of liberty, nor does it stand against the global elitists…
