A week before unverified documents emerged undermining President-elect Donald Trump, Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer predicted that intelligence officials would “get back at” Trump for challenging their credibility.
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he is being really dumb to do this,” Schumer said in a Jan. 3 MSNBC interview.
Asked what intel officials could do to Trump, Schumer said, “I don’t know, but from what I am told, they are very upset with how he has treated them and talked about them,”
Schumer was referring to Trump last week questioning the legitimacy of the Russian hacking probe — before Tuesday’s bombshell reports that an intel dossier was prepared of unverified claims that Russia had compiled compromising and salacious dirt on Trump.
Ramping up his criticism of intel officials, Trump on Wednesday called the dossier on the unsubstantiated claims a “tremendous blot” on the intellegigence agencies.
“It is a disservice that information would be leaked. It’s crap. It’s all fake news. It didn’t happen,” Trump said at press conference at Trump Tower.
“It shouldn’t have entered paper. It’s a disgrace.”

They’ll be coming for you next, Chunky.
The arrogance of that whole situation is astounding. Trump had not been in office. What were they “getting back at him” for? Challenging the Trump-Russia narrative? That turned out to be a lie. So they were getting back at him for not staying quiet about the intelligence community being a willing partner in a lie that was meant to influence the US presidential election.
This is why Trump is moving very fast on saboteurs in the FBI, USAID, The US Treasury and other agencies.
What is Trump doing to reign in the CIA? Are they untouchables? How about the other 15 intel agencies we have? That Tulsi Gabbard is supposed to be the Director of?
Chuck Tumor should be excised from the Federal Government.
LOL! Chuck Tumor. Yes, excised from the Federal Government.
A legitimate justice system is now coming for ole’ Chuckie.
The pendulum always swings back.
Thats not predicting, thats suggesting.
Would love to see this puke squirm
Can’t wait for “six ways to Sunday” to start.
Can’t wait for “six ways to Sunday” to start.
They’ve already exhausted two of the ‘six’.
So glad the DOJ is finally taking a look at that dirt-bag.
Predicted or threatened?
America is amazing, a total doofus person with no talent like schumer can rise to be senate majority leader.
Heh. It’s inconvenient for them to remember that. :)
The “More ways to get back at you” statement was a public service.
Threatening Kavanaugh crossed the line.
Think Tucker’s popularity and then bringing up Biden assassinating Putin. Some people Han an internal race between the mouth and brain. Sometimes the brain loses.
Couldn’t resist: sometimes the auto speller wins the race against the brain.
Lots of these insiders know "where the bodies are buried," but Schumer is unusually well-informed about when they are going to be buried as well.
Squeeze THAT particular tube of toothpaste hard enough and the origins of a lot of really bad things will be revealed.
Its ‘rein in’...Trump is not a king
Right and I cannot blame it on spell check
