Is the CIA Director colluding with Donald Trump?

He is the only Intelligence Director that has not spoken publicly about being pressured to try and stop the Russian investigation. It appears he thinks very similarly to his President?
He was on Hugh Hewitt's show this AM and he mostly talked about "leaks".

<snip>
But despite Pompeo's insistence that the Trump administration pursued leakers with vigor, the administration has been rocked by a series of blockbuster leaks. Bob Deitz, a former top lawyer for the NSA and CIA, told Business Insider that Trump's administration is "the leakiest in recent history."

Some of the leaks include reports that Trump had disclosed top-secret code word information to Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting the day after he fired Former FBI Director James Comey; that Trump may be under FBI investigation for obstruction of justice; and that intelligence officials were aware that former national security adviser Michael Flynn could be vulnerable to Russian blackmail as early as January — a month before he was forced to resign from his position. A number of those reports cited current or former intelligence officials as sources.

Comey personally leaked an unclassified memo to the press through a close friend shortly after he was fired. He later described the contents of that memo and others as part of his testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this month.

Some people their loyalty to Trump
Is greater than their loyalty to our
Great country. Some even address him
As our Leader.
Welcome to the third world.

...to shine the light on him. She has pointed out how strange it is that nobody seems to be asking him hard questions or asking him to testify in the hearings.
