Flashback: Schumer Warned Trump About the Intelligence Community
TownHall ^ | Leah Barkoukis

A 2017 flashback of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is circulating on social media again after the FBI’s raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

In the clip, the top Democrat spoke about Trump’s criticism of the U.S. intelligence community and warned about the agencies’ ability to enact vengeance.

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in response to the president-elect challenging allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this," Schumer added.

“What do you think the intelligence community will do if they were motivated to,” Maddow wondered.

“I don’t know, but from what I am told intelligence officials are “very upset with how [Trump] has treated them and talked about them,” Schumer replied.

“Do we think he has an agenda to try to dismantle parts of the intelligence community? I mean this form of taunting hostility," she said.

Cia just stated that Trump is a shape shifting alien who escaped from Area 51.

If that is the case Chuckie then the intelligence community needs to be brought under control. Apparently you are not the man to do it.

John F. Kennedy also tried to get the intelligence community under control and look where it got him.

I seem to recall that Loud Mouth Jew made a specific threat. Now that the Schmuck is head of Senate, wow, threat comes true.
There has to be one Senator with balls enough to challenge the Schmuck to a duel. Most likely he will just Crap his pants like Joey.

Yes, he did ... almost as if he knew what was coming ... almost as if the CIA/FBI etc. were entities independent of any U.S. governmental oversight.

Yup, Chuck pretty clearly outed himself with that little remark ... and, as if he, personally, had no such concern for himself with the intelligence agencies of the U.S.

Schumer is probably the “informant from Mar-a-Lago.”

Thanks for this actually honest statement by Schumer. He hated Trump but what he said could have been taken seriously and led to some better days-—maybe. Maybe it was too far to stop anyway. I forgot the full details from 2017.

Sessions, Ryan, Mitch and others did not back up his draining of the swamp.

I thought about that this weekend.

We cannot let this stand. Nothing but a setup.

I do think there’s some truth in that story - Kennedy knew how they played then.
