Trump Fires Back at CIA Efforts to Undermine His Presidency With Report Alleging Russia Helped Elect
Gateway Pundit ^ | December 9, 2016 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 12/09/2016 11:25:41 PM PST by McGruff

In a statement released Friday night, President-Elect Donald Trump blasted the CIA over a leaked report that claimed, without evidence of direct involvement, that Russia interfered in the recent presidential election to help elect Trump over rival Hillary Clinton.

The leaked CIA report was first reported by the Washington Post Friday evening. Earlier Friday it was reported President Obama had ordered a “full review” due by the end of his presidency on allegations of Russia’s hacking to influence the election.

It appears Obama is setting this up to deny Trump the presidency. Everything else Obama has done for 8 years has been a mistake. Why not one more gigantic mistake before he leaves?

The backfire from a move like this would be YUUUUGE!

The story is Dem disinformation.

Why, then, did Trump attack the CIA?

Until they name a name or names who will stand up before a House Intelligence Committee and SWEAR that they have direct evidence, I do not believe the sh!t Obama is forcing the CIA to say, or any other Intel Community source, either.

Because the CIA is control directly by a Muslim Democrat, and he is controlled by a Democrat, I guess.

Because it's the same source. The CIA is a democrat-infiltrated bureaucracy just like any other in D.C. Whether it's leaks about Black Sites and Rendition during Bush or falsified and covered up assessments about ISIS the CIA as currently constituted cannot be trusted.

I'm sure General Flynn has told Trump all about it.

So Trump's putting them on notice and Mike Pompeo will be doing a house cleaning as soon as he gets in there.

Like climate change, they don’’t need evidence, it is “settled intelligence”.

Anyone but a Muslim traitor. The WH needs a thorough flush and the MB members thrown to the curb after they investigate them and find out what they’ve been leaking.

Indeed this is yet another part of the attempt to deny Trump the Presidency by coup. Note the timing of Obama’s order is made just before the Judge is to rule on Hillary and Steins delirious argument of Russian hacking in PA.

Prevent PA from certifying, then now they’re down to having to turn 17 or 22 electors, depending on how a majority is considered, instead of 37.

> the intelligence community has reached a “consensus” that Russia intervened in the presidential election to help Trump win, not just try and sow chaos in the process

Having been a member of the intelligence community for years let me translate what “reached a consensus” really means - “we don’t know but this is what we think”. It’s obvious that the MSM is spewing this rumor hoping it will take hold and possibly get Trump impeached which I think won’t have a chance because it’s obvious to real Americans that he is going to do what it takes to bring America back to where she was before...

I actually believe that it is a little less sinister than that. I fully expect the new Trump CIA Director to do a real investigation of the non-existent "Russian Influence on our Election" and issue a report totally debunking the idea. Associated with this will be a very public house-cleaing at CIA.

Obama is simply countering this with a propaganda effort that the MSM can use later to cry foul. It won't work but it's all they've got. Obama/Hillary didn't plan on Trump but they are doing what they can to deal with him.

Good to hear from you.

Then it’s not just me being paranoid.

Like I said, if that happens, I dont want to, but I will head south to join a militia and whatever comes, comes.

I’m still banking on obama wanting NO sort of confrontation of that level.

He may be doing it just to shut hillary the #### up.

If the Russians really were responsible, shouldn’t we be thanking the Russians for exposing these emails showing corruption in the Democratic party? After all, they just (allegedly) published them. They didn’t write them.

In a stunning response to widening claims of a Russian espionage operation targeting the presidential race, Trump’s camp risked an early feud with the Intelligence community ...

...

Feud? He’ll be cleaning their house soon.

It’s easy. Fire those responsible for the report when Trump takes office.

A fake report from the CIA.

Obama’s unreal narcissism showing.
Trump’s election outdoes his as greatest political feat. Ever.
White people don’t like him because he’s black.
Obamacare headed for the dumpster.
His major achievement will be public restroom legislation.

It all comes down to this:

The current US government is an enemy of the people, an enemy of the constitution, and an enemy of all freedom loving patriots.

What we are seeing now is pure desperate propaganda, a last ditch effort by those in power to save their skins before the mass trials of treason take place. Make no mistake, these corrupt individuals are going down. Many of them are going to jail for life, hopefully to be put on death row.

They know what’s coming with a Trump administration and now fear for their very lives. They have no where to go. They are trapped rats and the end is at hand. They made a pact with the devil and it’s now time to pay the price.

This is the same CIA that decided it was a good idea to align the US on the side of the “moderate” rebels in Syria against Assad. These “moderates “ are just another variant of ISIS, so you’ve got the US helping ISIS when it is supposed to be fighting it.

Thanks, CIA.
