Former spook John Schindler pronounced on Twitter Thursday night that the CIA is trying to take out President-elect Donald Trump before he is sworn in as president next Friday, January 20. Schindler has long accused Trump of being a Russian stooge.
Schindlers bio for his Observer column reads, John Schindler is a security expert and former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer. A specialist in espionage and terrorism, hes also been a Navy officer and a War College professor. Hes published four books and is on Twitter at @20committee.
Schindler made his comment about the CIA in reaction to a report by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius that an Obama administration offical told him Trumps national security adviser retired Lt. General Michael Flynn made several calls to Russias U.S. ambassador the day last month that President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for allegedly interfering in the presidential election to benefit Trump.
David Ignatius.
Ignatius reported in a column published Thursday night about questions he has regarding Russia, Trump and the election:
Question 3: What discussions has the Trump team had with Russian officials about future relations? Trump said Wednesday that his relationship with President Vladimir Putin is an asset, not a liability. Fair enough, but until hes president, Trump needs to let Obama manage U.S.-Russia policy.
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trumps choice for national security adviser, cultivates close Russian contacts. He has appeared on Russia Today, and received a paid speaking fee from the cable network, which was described in last weeks unclassified intelligence briefing on Russian hacking as the Kremlins principal international propaganda outlet.
According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials and other measures in retaliation for the hacking. What did Flynn say, and did it undercut the U.S. sanctions? The Logan Act (though never enforced) bars U.S. citizens from correspondence intending to influence a foreign government about disputes with the United States. Was its spirit violated? The Trump campaign didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.
If the Trump teams contacts helped discourage the Russians from a counter-retaliation, maybe thats a good thing. But we ought to know the facts.
Schindler makes the point about monitoring phone calls being the job of the intelligence community and that the leak of alleged phone calls from Flynn to the Russian ambassador would have come from the office of the Director of the CIA John Brennan (aka the seventh floor at LangleyCIA headquarters located in Northern Virginia).
Schindler concludes that the CIA is trying to take out traitor Trump now.
This is the most important story in months. Proof that Trump is a wholly owned Kremlin franchise.

When @IgnatiusPost speaks, Langley's 7th floor lips are moving. Zero disrespect, just a fact.
They are taking traitor Trump out now.

Schindler retweeted praise for his comments that included a subtweet calling what is going in D.C. a coup against Trump.

How long before we start considering the coup of DT as a coup de grâce instead of a coup coup d'état?

This guy is former US intelligence and we’re being told to respect these lunatics?
This is a lunatic.
This article is garbage. I’ve seen enough ink spilled about nutters still sore over the presidential election saying this or that. Their impotent rage is tedious.
The Left wants to take Trump out.
They’re insane but they’re not giving up.
Sounds like a former somebody trying to re-live his glory days by spewing steaming piles of BS
He should add psychopath to his bio .
He needs to be picked up and locked up .
Crazy.
And coup de grâce means something they ought not be bandying about.
If true, his big mouth just made it more difficult for them to do so.
Yes, and the lunatics are running the IC asylum.
Add to this the lunatic news that US IC is telling Israel not to share intel with Trump because the Kremlin has leverage on him.
I agree. I hope Trump is careful
Later in 2015, Schindler was twittering about the Hillary e-mail server problems. I'll give him credit for that.
I think Schindler is a twitter pimp.
Maybe Schindler was a mole...
I’m confident that if Trump has had any unseemly relations with Russia, Mossad would know all about it. They don’t need some whacked-out blabbermouth rogues from DC to enlighten them.
He seems really strange to me for a know it all intelligence analyst, he sent a photo of his private parts to a lady on twitter back in 2014. Really strange behavior.

As several Freepers (and just about any average intelligent person) has predicted, The DEMS and MSM, the various corrupt Government agencies and their supporters are going for the gold to try and keep Trump from ruining their game.
Since most of their claims are based on ‘projection’, I think the final claim before Trump is sworn in (or maybe after?) will be that Trump drinks aborted baby blood.
Who owns the New York Observer? One Jared Kushner, who turns out to be the reason DJT has a Jewish daughter.
Figure that one out!
Jared may not be all that "hands on", at least as it regards the Observer. LOL!
