Schumer: Trump "dumb" for crossing CIA - "they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you"
SOTT ^ | 1/5/2016 | James Henry

Posted on 01/05/2017 12:00:14 PM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) let slip a terrifying reality when it comes to the power of our nation's president over "executive branch" agencies like the CIA. In an interview Tuesday with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Schumer said President-elect Donald Trump is "being really dumb" by taking on the intelligence community because if he does "they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you."

Just let that soak in for a minute.

One of the most powerful senators just admitted that it is "stupid" for a president to oppose the intelligence community, which he is in charge of, because it will "[get] back at you."

Maddow, perhaps realizing the gravity of what he just said, questioned Schumer further asking skeptically: "what do you think the intelligence community would do, if they were motivated to?"

"I don't know... but from what I am told, they are VERY upset with how he has treated them and talked about them...," Schumer said.

So, where are the calls for Schmucky to step down from his Leadership Position after spouting such asinine rhetoric?

That really sounds like she’s urging the CIA to kill Trump.

So the question becomes “what has Obama done to make the CIA a threat to Americans?”.

Things are out of control if our elected officials are afraid of an agency that is supposed to be under its control and do the bidding of the American people.

People should have realized this when Valerie Plame and her husband were taking down Scooter Libby.

Gov’t spooks will try to kill Trump. Count on it. Good thing they are incompetents who believe their own BS. Schumer and McCain are using dog whistle language to give them the go-ahead.

The CIA serves at the behest of the President, Schumer, so who exactly is the dumb one?

Trump could cause the CIA to cease to exist with the stroke of a pen.

"I don't know... but from what I am told, they are VERY upset..."

HE hasn't been told a thing. He's making this stuff up as he goes along.

Hey Clown Schumer, 16 other Republican candidates & Hillary were VERY UPSET with Trump a while ago. How’d that work out for them?

Microcosm of the Obama government. No different than any other third world dictatorship/corruptocracy.

Chucky just proved he lacks cajones. After all, he just admitted he fears the CIA.

The people in the CIA work for the POTUS...and every one of them works at the pleasure of the POTUS. In short, they do not have what people erroneously call “civil service protections”.

We will see if the people in the CIA are stupid enough to try to run a shadow government and how long it will take for President Trump to put those engaging in such tactics out of the soup line.

Ordinarily the CIA can threaten POTUS because POTUS is a politician, and the CIA would have been collecting information on them for years.

Trump on the other hand was a real-estate developer and reality TV host. I doubt the CIA had anyone assigned to gather dirt on him. They’ll be starting at square one with an empty file.
