If they literally published the hardware and made it open to the public than that is indeed a threat to the general public. I'm a Wikileaks fan but for their own sake they have to be careful.

Those tools were probably used in first place to spy on and "hack elections" in foreign countries. Lead by example?  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency#History
Where is the outrage about Obama supporting Netanyahu's opponents.

Was it financial support?
Steered donors to various groups, sent top aides, steered taxpayer money to "nonpartisan" Israeli organizations and groups.

I feel disgusted by who I'm in agreement with but I am compelled to believe this is a good thing and that the intelligence community needs to be actively opposed as far as their mass snooping goes. I am increasingly beginning to wonder if the intel leaks on Russia against Trump - while I like it - may not have consequences down the road, e.g, the intelligence community takes out a President they don't like who may be perfectly fine?

Again, feeling violently ill but the intelligence community is making me question their motives.

EDIT: I know Wikileaks is going for this reaction and hoping to ding the intelligence community as they work on making the case against Trump. So that makes this even worse.

     This is a point that folks like jfern and Averroes have been making; "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a very dangerous doctrine and ignoring questionable activities on that basis is very dangerous practice. When it becomes acceptable for the CIA to undermine the sitting President, you open the door for that to happen to a future President that you may approve of.

If the future President I approve of is doing things that involve treason or perjury, then I might not approve of that President for very long.

     Supposing, of course, that the CIA would never lie to take someone down.
Right the CIA is making it up about Trump because they are jealous of his big hands
Is that all you got? You're a bigger tool than I thought.
