Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested Tuesday night that U.S. intelligence agencies could “get back at” President-elect Donald Trump after he questioned the legitimacy of the intelligence community’s probe into Russian involvement in the hacking of Democratic party officials.

The very first thing DJT needs to do is de-weaponize the departments that aren’t justice or defense or border related.
EPA/IRS has shotguns and pistols all of a sudden? Why?
Because Obama said he was building his own off-the-books civilian military.
The British famously engaged in a civil war and executed Charles I in 1649, and then brought in William III in 1688. Louis XVI got chopped in 1793 during the Revolution, then France dealt with Napoleon & the restoration, and finally ushered in a series of republics. Everyone here of course knows US history.
So what's the point? The point is, at major turning points in history, even traditionally stable political entities undergo significant stress & upheaval. I really believe it's a mistake to think that Trump will represent a continuation of the prior 28 "bad years". Rather, I think we are looking at a period where it's a fight to the finish with the globalists. They must be eradicated, which means wholesale arrests, trials, convictions and punishment, along with shadow battles using "unconventional" means.
Like the de-Nazification process in post- WWII Germany, this country's dirty linen really must be washed and aired if the US is to reclaim any sense of true self determination ie for and by the people.
I agree. Congress is full of traitors who need to be Cantorized. My district showed America how it is done, but unfortunately few have followed our lead.
This sounds like Schumer is inviting an attack on Trump since nothing else has worked. Would an intelligence asset under the supervision of James Clapper instigate such an attack, I wonder.
SO, what Schumer is saying is that the CIA/Intelligence community is motivated by politics with its own agenda that may or may not be in the best interest of the United States?
Funny, that seems to support Trump’s comments pretty heartily.
They must be eradicated,
Trump’s instincts are perfect: re-shore so many jobs that ears will be forever closed to the Left’s insidious, treasonous whispers. People who newly have economic interests won’t vote against them.
If this is true — if intelligence communities are arrayed against the Commander in Chief — it is straight sedition and requires trials for treason.
Period.
End of sentence.
Even in good times the IC is full of partisan democrats. I would take this threat seriously.
Schumer’s remarks are an admission that the “Intelligence Community” conducts domestic political operations, including against the Presidents they work for.
If Schumer knows of such abuses, it is his duty to come down on them like an anvil. Instead he is voicing his wishes.
My hope is that the upper layers in various agencies are the main source of corruption — Democrats serving Democrat masters. After a massive purge and a consolidation of redundant agencies, the rank and file can get back to intel gathering and analysis. There can be no room for doctoring results to fit political orders — exactly what Obama has been caught doing with intel about his false efforts in Syria.
Wasn’t it just yesterday, that Trump was saying he liked Schumer better than some Republicans?
Why did that freak Schumer out so? Am I misreading the situation? Because, to me, it appears Schumer started squealing like a stuck pig at the thought of being perceived as pro-Trump.
Being a New Yorker himself, I’m sure Trump at least suspected he’d get the reaction that he did, but man it’s weird, devolving into threats of payback from intelligence agencies against an incoming President Elect.
Comical? Dangerous? Both simultaneously?
The poster boy for Upstatehood just refuses to stop his gob. Keep digging, Chuckie...
Treasonous.
That was DJT placing the carnation in Smegma’s buttonhole, if you knowatta mean.
Uh...they were working for JFK back in 1963. That didn't turn out well for JFK.
If they did so, it would be open sedition.
But I have a feeling that Chuckie is just blowing wind because that’s the entirety of what he can actually do, other than try to mess up Supreme Court nominations, for at least two years.
Him saying this just validates Trump’s point on the current ill-tel agencies!
“Getting even” with a president can’t be a great career option.
The “intelligence community” Schumer is referring to consists entirely of John Brennan and a few of his Muslim-sympathizing sycophants.
well the top buffoon is out..... brennan
and that si a good start
and an end to his DIVERSITY campaign
meathead will find another subservient yes man asskissing job...
you know the court jester you bounce an idea off of and then do the opposite of what he says...
brennan f:::edup iraq and supported isis and on and on and his last clown act was the fake news russia hack leak to wapo... maybe he’ll land a job there after giving bezos a useless $600 million cia contract... or maybe bezos wil let him operate a foklift in a warehouse in siberia... if he’s smart...
the natural born assclown muzzie convert .... the guy who signed the 19 9/11 hijack visas... yep the desk jockey who never did and intel op in his entire lackluster career..... just like mike morell.... desk jockey ass kissers ... willing to edit intel to suit the political environemnt.... whcih is not the way its supposed to be..... just the facts ....
I am told by a former spook-—long ago, but he knows the service-—that it is permeated by Ivy League types who hate anyone not of their ilk.
