Flashback: Schumer warns Trump: Intel officials have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you

The new leader of Democrats in the Senate says Donald Trump is being "really dumb" for picking a fight with intelligence officials, suggesting they have ways to strike back, after the president-elect speculated Tuesday that his "so-called" briefing about Russian cyberattacks had been delayed in order to build a case.

"Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday evening on MSNBC after host Rachel Maddow informed him that intelligence sources told NBC news that the briefing had not been delayed.

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

This is from January 2017. His comment is not aging well.

Yep. Our so-called intelligence community can target you if they don’t like your politics. The IRS has proven they will do it, why not the FBI, CIA, ATF, DOJ, etc.?

Not only that, but have you noticed that the sound of crickets is about all one hears emanating from the d-rat infested swamp lately?

Which brings the question: Exactly what did Chuckwad Schumer know and when did he know it?

It certainly sounded like the Senator may have had knowledge of the FBI/DOJ “insurance policy.” To paraphrase the late Tom Foley, “The suspiciousness of the comment mandates that we investigate this.”

Didn’t Chucky promise that Trump would quit by the end of the year over a scandal of some sort? Wrong again Chucky, wrong again.

Does Rep Nadler, a self-described ‘Constitutional expert’ agree that these agencies can act in an extra-Constitutional way to “protect” America from Trump?

I haven't seen Schmucky criticizing and going after intel officials for "getting people back". He seemed kind of happy to describe the threat. So I would take it that Schmucky approves of such intel tactics.

He's part of the problem and he needs to answer for his remark when the sedition trials start.

“Does Rep Nadler, a self-described ‘Constitutional expert’ agree that these agencies can act in an extra-Constitutional way to “protect” America from Trump?”

Nadler, is a “self-proclaimed fat turd.” He’s likely spending most of his time protecting the Brisket he just cooked from being eaten by others. He’s probably the only male I’ve ever seen where the diameter of his head at the jaw line is triple what it is around his cranial area. Not unlike his fellow simians in the zoo!

Think about that. Schumer is the leader of a political
party which has evolved into an organization which
infiltrates and politicizes both institutions and
governmental agencies. From The League of Women Voters,
to AARP, to the State Department, IRS, CIA, FBI, and DOJ
the Democrat/liberal cabal takes over the leadership of
powerful entities while the “watchdog” media chooses
to ignore the long term danger to the country. Corruption
which agrees with their own politics is tolerable. So,
in essence what Schumer does is to let President Trump
know that he is in for a hellish term and Chuckie
doesn’t even need to give an order because the players
already know their parts.

"Intelligence" thugs should be afraid of being tried for treason...

We don't have to be ‘afraid’ of people like David Ignatius anymore. Ignatius and the rogue thugs in ‘intelligence’ we're doing a tag team game against honest Americans.

"Intelligence" thugs would target someone and ‘the press’ would attack that person using classified information collected on the taxpayers dime. It was an attack on our way of electing our leaders and an attack on President Trump and on traditional Americans.

It's was an active coup against the government of the United States. Robert Hanssen an American traitor is going to get company soon....
