Trump Responds To CIA Chief Brennan, Asks "Was He The Leaker Of Fake News?"
Zero Hedge ^ | 2017-01-15 | Tyler Durden

Just hours after John Brennan lashed out at the president-elect in an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump has responded by suggesting that the outgoing CIA Director may have been behind the publication last week of unverified and salacious intelligence connecting the president-elect to Russia....

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

.@FoxNews "Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand." Oh really, couldn't do...

much worse - just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?

This is the most direct accusation yet in the escalating feud with Obama's intelligence agencies. As we noted earlier, no president since John F. Kennedy has dared to take on the CIA or the rest of the national security establishment. They knew that if they opposed the national-security establishment at a fundamental level, they would be subjected to retaliatory measures. To the extent that President Kennedy consciously stood up to the system, he paid the price for his attempt at independent wielding of power from the Oval Office. It is a shuddering thought. A sharp lesson in history that must not be misinterpreted. The implications for Trump are quite clear. If his refusal to take intelligence briefings, or follow CIA advice is serious, then serious consequences will follow. If Trump is serious about peace with Putin when they insist on war, there will be a problem.

Trump is just asking the questions the praetorian press will not ask.

Is that a warning that crossing the CIA may cause his assassination? Certainly seems so.

“Follow CIA advice?”

Aren’t they supposed to advise the President so HE can make The/His decisions? The prestitutes are castigating Trump for not doing something he isn’t supposed to do. The acceptance of that premise by a President is the evisceration of the office. They really need to work harder to find things to criticize him on.

I never knew he was Muslim but I'm betting his siding with Obama makes him more or less a Muslim sympathizer.

Doesn't look like a Muslim but neither does John McCain.

That is what it seems to be saying. A not so veiled threat towards Trump ?

On the bright side, we may learn who was behind the Kennedy assasination ...

"I'm working on a hot story about John Brennan."

"I'm being followed and I need to get out of town and off grid, I'm headed to LAX"

(the day before his death he begged his neighbor for use of her old Volvo "I'm pretty sure someone has fooled around with my car...")
