So what he’s saying is that the “intelligence community” is a rogue entity, with its own foreign and domestic policy, and if the person who is nominally their boss (the head of the Executive branch - the President) criticizes them, then he’s done for. So to whom is this rogue entity accountable? Anyone? Is that what Schumer is saying about our “democracy”?
February 25 — HRC announces the suspension of operations of the Libyan embassy in Washington.
February 26 — HRC directs efforts to evacuate all U.S. embassy personnel from Tripoli and orders the closing of
the embassy.
Then Hillary sends in Chris Stevens to Benghazi in EARLY MARCH!!!! That makes NO sense after closing the Libyan Embassy in DC and pulling out everyone in Tripoli, and then sends Stevens to Benghazi!! HELP!! Make sense of this!
The Benghazi Debacle, and Clinton’s Role in Arming Jihadists in Libya and Syria
Throughout 2012, violent jihadist activity became increasingly commonplace in the city of Benghazi and elsewhere throughout Libya and North Africa. American personnel at the U.S. mission in Benghazi repeatedly asked the Clinton State Department for increased security provisions during 2012, but all of these requests were either denied or ignored.25
On the night of September 11, 2012, a large group of heavily armed Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi with great violence.26 In the process, they killed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans.
For weeks thereafter, Mrs. Clinton and the rest of the Obama administration continued to characterize what had occurred on September 11 in Benghazi not as a carefully orchestrated act of terrorism, but as a spontaneous uprising that evolved unexpectedly from what had begun as a low-level protest against an obscure YouTube video.
For the administration, it was vital to continue putting forth this false narrative because, with the presidential election only a few weeks away, nothing could be permitted to puncture the Obama-Clinton talking points: “Al Qaeda is on the run” and “Osama bin Laden is dead.”27
In reality, however, within mere hours after the September 11 attack, U.S. intelligence agencies had already gained more than enough evidence to conclude unequivocally that it was a planned terrorist incident, and that the YouTube video had nothing whatsoever to do with it.28
On January 23, 2013 — fully 134 days after the September 11 attack in Benghazi — Mrs. Clinton went before Congress to testify as to what she knew about the incident. At one point in the hearing, Senator Rand Paul asked her whether the United States had ever been involved in procuring weapons in Libya and transferring them to other countries including Syria. Clinton replied, “I do not know. I have no information on that.”29
But a March 25, 2013 New York Times story subsequently indicated that the Obama administration had in fact been sending arms from Libya, through intermediary nations and ultimately to Syria, since early 2012. And another Times article described Mrs. Clinton as one of the driving forces who had called for arming the Syrian rebels (who were fighting Syrian President Assad) in precisely that manner.30 In other words, Clinton had lied in her congressional testimony to Rand Paul.
It should be noted that the Syrian rebels whom Clinton and Obama were aiding consisted of Islamic jihadists, many of whom were affiliated with Al Qaeda. In July 2016, Julian Assange of Wikileaks revealed that a batch of hacked DNC emails contained information proving that Clinton, contrary to what she had said in her congressional testimony in 2013, knew as early as 2011 that the U.S. was sending arms from Libya to jihadists in Syria.31
And in October 2016, a Fox News report indicated that Obama and Clinton had also arranged for the provision of weapons to radical jihadists in Libya.32
In September 2014, former Deputy Secretary of State Raymond Maxwell reported that in late 2012 he had witnessed — in the basement of the State Department’s headquarters — a Sunday meeting in which Cheryl Mills (Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff) and Jake Sullivan (Clinton’s deputy chief of staff) were overseeing and directing staffers who were busy purging documents that might implicate Clinton or her top people in the Benghazi attacks.33
But hey, who cares? At least Mrs. Clinton never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she deeply respects women, including: (a) the Libyan and Syrian women whose lives were destroyed by the jihadists whom Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama supported, and (b) the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters of the four Americans who were slaughtered by jihadists in Benghazi.
Democrat lawmakers.
Chuck “the schmuck” Schumer has spoken. /s
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer said.
Spoken like a coward, not a leader. I am sure Chukie gave his lunch money to bullies in his formative years.
......“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer said..........
Oh, please tell us more! Is this comment from personal experiance?
So is Schumer suggesting Trump get the CIA John F. Kennedy treatment?
Kennedy was the LAST US president to go after the CIA. Look what happened to him.
No president has ever dared to berate them until Trump.
The CIA needs to be dissolved, their budget spent on the military and the military intelligence mission, and its leadership brought up on charges—from murder to insurrection and even TREASON.
He’s a PUTZ!
Looks like he opted for Bobby Kennedy’s face.
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”
Getting back? Does he mean they abuse the power of their offices to take personal revenge?
Isn’t that a crime?
Oh, what has Obama done? He’s sent a few Russian diplomats on vacation, run a bunch of tanks to the German border to threaten the biggest boy on the block concerning attack capacity, and give him a hard look while saying he is going to do more. Okay, what? If he attacks them cyberly it will display we have been doing the same thing they did.(Which we have but they aren’t sharing that info due to perception) Schumer was sent out there to be the idiot so they can keep Obama out of it. Another one falls on his sword. He’s well paid.
red
Thanks!! Hope a LOT of people read what you posted!!
Everybody knows that Obama fired all that didn’t agree with him and replaced them with yesmen, I bet the rank and file of information gatherer are as sceptical of the top end as Trump is, and the rest of us conservatives so we will see what the future brings, watching russian tv is not good enough to know what up to
How hard is it to order private companies to give up access to all their data on US citizens? That seems to be a very large part of what they do.
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,”
So who put the CIA in charge of the federal government? If Schumer’s assertion is true, and this is their corporate culture, the CIA needs to be gutted if not replaced. If anything happens to Trump, Schumer will have made Trump’s critics at the CIA the prime suspects.
Leon Panetta will not be running the CIA and Trump is not the Libyan ambassador.
I’ve got a question... Why are there 17 intelligence agencies? Why do we need more than 2? CIA and DIA?
Trump is not criticizing the intel agencies. He is criticizing the sychophants who run them. Clapper previously lied under oath to the Congress.
Since Chucky has now opened the can of worms, threatened the PEOTUS, confirmed that the CIA is illegally acting against Americans, he should be dragged into a public venue and be forced to spill all he knows. He has admitted knowledge of illegal acts. What specifics acts does he know of and who is involved? Why has he not spoken up before?
In fact, let’s get the whole bunch of shadow dwellers under oath, ask the right questions and prosecute perjury.
