President-elect Donald Trump’s broadside against the intelligence community is dividing Capitol Hill Republicans, with some ready to pounce on Trump’s skepticism that Russia interfered with the U.S. elections and others urging a more cautious approach.
The resulting schism could widen as Congress begins probing the CIA’s charges that Russia intervened in the November elections in an attempt to help Trump, potentially becoming one of the first significant intraparty breaches of the Trump presidency.
U.S. critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin, such as Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), want to go full-bore on holding Russia to account for its suspected election interference. But they may be slowed by GOP senators who prefer to wait to hear the intelligence community’s evidence and for Trump to be installed in the White House.

The Dems are just trying to undermine Trump's presidency and some of the stupider Republicans are helping.
Trump was elected because the American people voted for him.
Well we know there’s almost NO intelligence in the republican party, so he should throw them in there with the CIA.
Translation: Juan McCainiac and Linda Grahamnesty.

I work overnight so I have 14 more days to sleep before I come home to the new president on the 20th. :)
Get home at 7am but I AM NOT going to sleep that day!!
The GOPe Neocons are upset.
McCain. . .Graham??? The title says that Republicans are becoming divided. Can anyone really be that stupid?
I can’t even sleep.
lol. I dont blame you. Still seems like a dream.
I’m afraid i’ll wake up and hillary’s face will be on the screen.
C’mon Republicans. The “report” was a joke. Obusturb corrupted and politicized the entire professional bureaucracy. Let Trump get to the bottom of this.
We know there is NO TRUTH in the Washington Compost so we take every story with a grain of sand.
Tom Cotton seems to be a candidate to replace Kelly Ayotte in the circle jerk that features McCain as pivot man.
More compelling Washington Post journalism...
On this one, I have no trouble believing there are more than a few republicans taking the CIA’s side.
Cotton is supposed to be a stand up guy and he is.
Dot even ask about McCain, McConnell, Linda and Ryan.
Old Johnny’s ready to go to war with Russia right now.
Wow. Washington Post citing John McCain and his concubine Lyndsey to undermine the new administration. I’m shocked!
The Tom Cotton who wants the US to shoot down Russian planes in Syria?
Great...
I honestly believe easily that half of republicans are against Trump on this.
Why would anyone be shocked?
Same two faggots every day. Thanks, Arizona and South Carolina.
