Bob Woodward: ‘Trump’s Right’ — Intel Community Has Treated Him Like ‘Garbage’

Bob Woodward backed Donald Trump in his ongoing feud against the U.S. intelligence community during a panel discussion on “Fox News Sunday.”

“In Trump’s mind, he knows the old adage, ‘once a C.I.A. man, always a C.I.A. man,’ and no one came out and said those people shouldn’t be saying those things,” the Washington Post’s famed editor explained. “So act two is the briefing when this dossier is put out.”

“I’ve lived in this world for 45 years where you get things and people make allegations,” he continued. “That is a garbage document.”

“It never should have been presented as part of an intelligence briefing, as you suggested — other channels have the White House counsel give it to Trump’s incoming White House counsel.”

Woodward emphatically stated the president-elect is “right to be upset about that, and I think if you look at the real chronology and the nature of the battle here, those intelligence chiefs who were the best we’ve had, who were terrific and have done great work — they made a mistake here.”

“When people make a mistake, they should apologize.”

After she lost, the furious Hillary horse-whipped her campaign chair, John Podesta, into action. Podesta came charging out of the gate like Greased Lightning, galloping at breakneck speed sweating it out, desperate to make Hillary look like a "victim."

John Podesta Op-Ed: Washington Post post-election op-ed / FR POSTED by by ColdOne

PODESTA: The more we learn about the Russian plot to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign and elect Donald Trump, and the failure of the FBI to adequately respond, the more shocking it gets. The former acting director of the CIA has called the Russian cyberattack “the political equivalent of 9/11.” Just as after the real 9/11, we need a robust, independent investigation into what went wrong inside the government and how to better protect our country in the future.

As the former chair of the Clinton campaign and a direct target of Russian hacking, I understand just how serious this is. So I was surprised to read in the New York Times that when the FBI discovered the Russian attack in September 2015, it failed to (Excerpt) Read more of Podesta at washingtonpost.com ...

WikiLeaks: Tax Form Reveals Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta,
Continued Ties to Russian Energy Company After Claiming He Divested

LINK http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/10/31/wikileaks-tax- form-reveals-john-podesta-continued-ties-to-russian-energy-company-after- claiming-he-divested/

PODESTA'S LUCRATIVE RUSSIAN CONNECTIONS--- A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC.

Leonidio Holdings, LLC, is listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California. Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address.

The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia. Documents show that Podesta received 75,000 shares of Joule Unlimited Technologies......an outfit which was linked to alleged money laundering by the Russian government, according to media reports.

The Center for American Progress (CAP) was started in 2003 by John Podesta, Bill Clinton's onetime Chief of Staff; Podesta led Obama’s presidential transition team after 2008 and was Hillary’s 2016 campaign manager.

Podesta’s CRONY relationship with the Clintons goes back to 1970.

“Next time they pull this crap...”

Those who were responsible need to be gone NOW so there won’t be a next time.

Most of the Federal Government has treated him like garbage.

John McCain, the great AMerican hero, is at the center of this and at the center of the Trump Russia meme.

Trump is about to make the old guard GOP senatorial “bipartisan” gangs of four etc , ear marks, and buy offs, into dinosaurs. McCain sees Trump coming for him, and he is trying to lash out as the Trump tsunami sweeps McCain away forever.

Trump is about to depoliticize the CIA, NIS, and the FBI. They see him coming, and have done everything to damage Trump. So now Trump has the pefect PUBLIC reason, the perfect excuse to clean house, and clean house he shall. The People expect it.

The swamp is about to be drained.Trump wins again.

And I am not anywhere sick of winning yet.

Its a given that Chuck Schumer is not the brightest guy . However when he began gushing that Trump had better be careful because the CIA has the power to take down anyone, he revealed more than he should. There is little doubt that Obama and his acolyte CIA Director John Brennan wanted to destroy the legitimacy of a Trump Administration and prevent him from taking office if they could. Little doubt that Brennan subcontracted this British operative Steele to prepare the “dossier”. Schumer no doubt learned of the plan probably from an Obama aide and dopey Chuck couldn’t contain himself. Would not be surprised to see Brennan arrested in the first month of the Trump administration.

President Trump needs to “clean sheet” the CIA. Shut it down and start a new organization so that all of the infiltrators can be eliminated.

ImJustAnotherOkie @3: "DJT is the Commander and Chief and he does NOT have to put up with overtly disloyal subordinates"

Especially from some POS who supported Communist Gus Hall for President.

Look for a new CIA director to be named shortly after 12 noon this coming Friday.

those intelligence chiefs who were the best we’ve had

They are all Obama's appointees and cannot be trusted.

This should be high on investigative journalists' hot list.

....the FBI found that foreign “actors” had been able to get their hands on Secy Clinton’s classified material."... ...hostile foreign (entities) successfully gained access to the personal email accounts of individuals associated with the Clintons, and with whom Secy Clinton was in regular contact, and, in doing so, obtained emails sent or received by Clinton on her personal account.”...

What’s going to happen to Clinton crony Sid Blumenthal? Not a govt employee, Sid was employed by the Clinton Foundation as a 350,000 dollar per year factotum (in charge of Bill's {gag} presidential Legacy).

As revealed by WikiLeaks, Guccifer, DCLeaks (and most recently a quiet FBI dump), Hillary sent Emails to Clinton crony Sid Blumenthal that contained confidential info.

The leaks reveal Blumenthal was hacked by China, Russia, and Israel.

==========================================

Moreover, Clinton Foundation employee, Sid Blumenthal, had in his possession classified State Dept info almost verbatim (as confirmed by the NSA).

Sid had numerous side business interests mostly predicated on Hillary and Obama offing Khadafi.

Hillary gave such a recommendation to Obama----but it was written by Blumenthal.

Sid ominously warned Hillary that if she and Obama did not order the killing of Khadaffi, Obama would not be relected.

The “Intel Community” can’t tell the difference between a 4chan internet hoax and a Hawaiian birth certificate.

Yup

I heard Bill Gertz say on the Limbaugh show Friday that the CIA has hired a bunch of political appointees and made them intel analysts after attending a short course. That would explain a lot about the CIA’s performance lately.

[TigersEye]

They put ‘shinola’ in the header of their reports.

Got that wrong too!

[Fu-fu2]

Personally I’ve had enough of the government-media-Hollywood elite disrespecting the votes of 62 million Americans. I’d like an audit to see how many get money from the Chicoms. Taking the week off from tv and radio. Looking forward to watching the inauguration festivities starting Thursday night. I’ll get my news here for the rest of the week. We voted for a revolution. The first businessman president. Can’t stomach anymore of the attempts to delegitimization his election.

With luck he’ll forget his lucky pocket Koran in the crapper.

[tumblindice]

Yeah, this has got 4chan enfant terrible all over it, yet our “intelligence” aces swallowed it whole.
Incompetence, another ground for termination, as well as being catchers for `rat butt sects for 8 years.

I suspect he is still a liberal. But an old-fashioned liberal, who loves his country and doesn’t think he should be ashamed of loving his country.

[LeoWindhorse]

this Obama orchestrated ‘intel community ‘ needs to be sacked and ditched . 100%

Start over , from the ground up .
Anyone that can PROVE they were NOT an Obama/Brennan minion can be considered fro continued employment . All others , Adios
