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.

Drain the swamp
That sounds like a terrorist threat. Where is the Secret Service?
Is that a threat Schmucky? Threatening a US Official is a serious crime you know.
So he’s admitting that the CIA violates their own rules and ethics as a matter of course?
Wonder how “VERY upset” they’ll be while looking for another job???
Fire the bastards!
Dog whistle?
>>>> There’s a Schumer in the Punchbowl <<<<
Perhaps a 50% budget cut might serve as an attitude adjustment.
Chuck Schumer actually threatened Trump! Schumer is one dumb senator.
Is that a threat Schmucky ?
Schumer admitting Obama’s CIA has been politicized and weaponized against America. Shut the traitors down!
And here I thought we were all on the same team. How silly of me.
Schumer seems to be intimidated by the CIA. Things are out of control if our elected officials are afraid of an agency that is supposed to be under its control and do the bidding of the American people.
Well, I doubt he’ll be visiting Dallas anytime soon so, he should be fine...
Sounds like some intel a$$wipes need to become FORMER employees. That way he won’t hurt their widdle feelings anymore. I mean, are those clowns THAT feminized???
I’ve heard a couple of talking heads say this. Is the intelligence community the Mafia or something?
Great...now we know the enemy is the CIA??
“they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”
How are they going to do that after Trump drains their swamp?
