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.

Hey Chuckie The Klown, it will soon be Trumps CIA!
The CIA blackmails Presidents?
Abolish the CIA.
So, where are the calls for Schmucky to step down from his Leadership Position after spouting such asinine rhetoric?
That really sounds like she’s urging the CIA to kill Trump.
So the question becomes “what has Obama done to make the CIA a threat to Americans?”.
Gov’t spooks will try to kill Trump. Count on it. Good thing they are incompetents who believe their own BS. Schumer and McCain are using dog whistle language to give them the go-ahead.
The CIA serves at the behest of the President, Schumer, so who exactly is the dumb one?
Trump could cause the CIA to cease to exist with the stroke of a pen.
*Drain the swamp*
Yeah, and schmucky chucky should be the very FIRST one to be sucked down that disgusting/swampy/filthy/unspeakably EVIL sluice pipe ~ to be sentenced to eternity without the possibility of parole ~
Trump/Pence = MAGA!
To whom are the CIA supposed to serve Chuckie Clown?
HE hasn't been told a thing. He's making this stuff up as he goes along.
Well, we know Schumer is afraid of leaks.
this is all theater.
schumer is reveling in his new role as chief democrat attention whore.
trump is enabling him.
Hey Clown Schumer, 16 other Republican candidates & Hillary were VERY UPSET with Trump a while ago. How’d that work out for them?
Microcosm of the Obama government. No different than any other third world dictatorship/corruptocracy.
That is a veiled threat.
Chucky just proved he lacks cajones. After all, he just admitted he fears the CIA.
The people in the CIA work for the POTUS...and every one of them works at the pleasure of the POTUS. In short, they do not have what people erroneously call “civil service protections”.
We will see if the people in the CIA are stupid enough to try to run a shadow government and how long it will take for President Trump to put those engaging in such tactics out of the soup line.
Ordinarily the CIA can threaten POTUS because POTUS is a politician, and the CIA would have been collecting information on them for years.
Trump on the other hand was a real-estate developer and reality TV host. I doubt the CIA had anyone assigned to gather dirt on him. They’ll be starting at square one with an empty file.
Elections have consequences, Schumey!
