Roger Stone calls on CIA Dir. Mike Pompeo to resign -- over Wikileaks.

Looks like Stone is feeling the flames licking at his feet.

Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone on Friday defended WikiLeaks calling for the CIA head to resign for attacking the anti-secrecy site's legitimacy.

In an interview with Newsmax Stone blasted CIA Director Mike Pompeo for calling WikiLeaks a "a non-state hostile intelligence service."

"There is no evidence to that whatsoever. What that tells me is that the bureaucrats ... in the CIA are spinning a BS narrative. And that Mr. Pompeo is so dumb that he is buying it," Stone said.


Pompeo on Thursday ripped WikiLeaks, saying the website is "often abetted by state actors" such as Russia.

And Roger Stone is either an idiotic White Nationalist Russian dupe
or is having trouble keeping up in his old age.

Applies a political spin to intelligence that disfavors his former party.

And Roger Freaking Stone's word is supposed to carry more weight than Pompeo's?

Mr. Stone, you better hope you don't look too tantalizing in orange.

Rumor has it the FBI has enough on the vile creatures from IC sources that no deals are being offered.

Rumor also has it that Carter Page flipped sometime last year and was wearing a wire.
