Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) let slip a terrifying reality when it comes to the power of our nation's president over "executive branch" agencies like the CIA. In an interview Tuesday with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Schumer said President-elect Donald Trump is "being really dumb" by taking on the intelligence community because if he does "they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you."
Just let that soak in for a minute.
One of the most powerful senators just admitted that it is "stupid" for a president to oppose the intelligence community, which he is in charge of, because it will "[get] back at you."
Maddow, perhaps realizing the gravity of what he just said, questioned Schumer further asking skeptically: "what do you think the intelligence community would do, if they were motivated to?"
"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 said.

I don't know to whom are the CIA supposed to serve Chuckie Clown but whomever, I doubt they would want to eat him.
Chuck Schumer actually threatened Trump! Schumer is one dumb senator.
The Head Clown or Clown Leader
Chuck “Dean Wormer” Schumer would NEVER upset the CIA
Be nice to them or they might.......
What?
So the CIA will “get back at you” (ie. take revenge on elected officials). Wow! And from someone who would know.
I always thought some congressman and senators were being blackmailed by the intelligence agencies, and now I know it is true. It explains a lot.
Look at McCain and ‘Lindy’ Graham - I wonder if they have pics of Grahamnesty in compromising positions with a pool boy - or the traitorous activities of McCain. Many rumors that he sang like canary in Hanoi.
We really have an enemy bureaucracy in DC - luckily I heard Trump has his own private security as well. Creepy indeed! If anything happens to Trump we know can be sure it was the CIA. They’re good with finding patsies.
Trump must be careful until he is able to drain this festering cess pit.
Always wondered if that's why Denny Hastert got the Speaker of the House gig. There were people who knew he was a child molester. How easy would it be to get him in line on an important vote?
....but Congress controls its budget.
EVERY federal government department and agency has become a political weapon under Obama: CIA, FBI, DOJ, military, DHS, EPA, HHS, etc., etc. Obama’s enemies list makes Nixon look like a piker.
Repealing the Patriot Act would hurt them.
According to the Conservative Treehouse, there is a civil war inside these agencies, and a war gearing up between the white house and the agencies. But it is critical the Trump doesn't back down. This election was for all the marbles, and the insiders know it. It would have been nice to have Schumer on the good guy side, but we now know he isn't.
That sounds like the irs to me.
MI Ping
Wasn’t it the CIA who insisted the Benghazi attack was due to that video? Yeah; we believe them.
“At the behest of the CIA, top U.S. officials initially described the attacks as the results of a spontaneous protest triggered by recently released anti-Muslim video, ‘Innocence of Muslims.’”
It’s been known for 20 years that you get between Chucky and a camera or mike only at the peril of your life.
Oh please Mr. Trump, please, ask Chuckie to name those 6 ways! Or even get him to name just 3! I think we would all like to hear out Chuckie on this one. What are they Chuckie? Have they been used on you? Have they been used on others? Just how do you know about this?
“They’ll (CIA) be starting at square one with an empty file.”
I have a feeling that the Clintons could be persuaded to share the opposition research files they’ve collected on Trump.

The real intel operatives/analysts do, the political appointees over them, not so much.
“Submit to those agencies we destructionists own or be destroyed.”
- What Schumer really meant.
Actually, after some thought, what Chuckyboy really said was..
“All federal agencies need a thorough cleansing with fire, pitchforks, tar and feathers.
If the LIB degenerate schmucky schumer is correct in his assertion, the”intelligence” departments should be stripped of their money and authority. Essentially, start over with vetted patriots.
“they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”
.
That works bi-directionally, Chucky.
