I can't imagine anyone in the CIA authorizing leaking their own tools. It's too outlandish, too career limiting. It would seem to be treason by definition.

"Nobody got fired and jailed for leaking CIA tools." Except, probably, anyone who ever did.

Huh. There's even a term for it.

I would never make it in government.
