Former spook John Schindler pronounced on Twitter Thursday night that the CIA is trying to take out President-elect Donald Trump before he is sworn in as president next Friday, January 20. Schindler has long accused Trump of being a Russian stooge.
Schindler’s bio for his Observer column reads, “John Schindler is a security expert and former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer. A specialist in espionage and terrorism, he’s also been a Navy officer and a War College professor. He’s published four books and is on Twitter at @20committee.”
Schindler made his comment about the CIA in reaction to a report by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius that an Obama administration offical told him Trump’s national security adviser retired Lt. General Michael Flynn made several calls to Russia’s U.S. ambassador the day last month that President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for allegedly interfering in the presidential election to benefit Trump.
David Ignatius reported in a column published Thursday night about questions he has regarding Russia, Trump and the election:
Question 3: What discussions has the Trump team had with Russian officials about future relations? Trump said Wednesday that his relationship with President Vladimir Putin is “an asset, not a liability.” Fair enough, but until he’s president, Trump needs to let Obama manage U.S.-Russia policy.
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s choice for national security adviser, cultivates close Russian contacts. He has appeared on Russia Today, and received a paid speaking fee from the cable network, which was described in last week’s unclassified intelligence briefing on Russian hacking as “the Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet.”
According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials and other measures in retaliation for the hacking. What did Flynn say, and did it undercut the U.S. sanctions? The Logan Act (though never enforced) bars U.S. citizens from correspondence intending to influence a foreign government about “disputes” with the United States. Was its spirit violated? The Trump campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
If the Trump team’s contacts helped discourage the Russians from a counter-retaliation, maybe that’s a good thing. But we ought to know the facts.”
Schindler makes the point about monitoring phone calls being the job of the intelligence community and that the leak of alleged phone calls from Flynn to the Russian ambassador would have come from the office of the Director of the CIA John Brennan (aka the seventh floor at Langley–CIA headquarters located in Northern Virginia).
Schindler concludes that the CIA is trying to take out “traitor” Trump “now.”
CIA coup d’etat code name purple!

Flynn would have known the spooks were listening, therefore the content of the calls were made for their benefit.
I’ll have to also make the observation, considering the nature of Islam - “But I repeat myself.”
I’m hoping President Trump goes Michael Corleone on all these Dems and Intelligence Agency snakes.
Think of that baby christening scene from the Godfather when Michael takes out all of his enemies and substitute the Inauguration for the Christening...
Wouldn’t that be something!
Schindler’s list?
Sounds more like a baby whining to me.
Once you have a “President-Elect” person - you can no longer accuse him of meddling. It’s his job to get up to speed as quickly as he can. And, since Flynn has a regular relationship with someone in the Russian govt .. I consider that a perk .. and I’d rather we have those relationships than to have an idiot giving Russia a small piece of wood, with a RED button on it .. and then use the WRONG Russian word for “reset” (SHOWING HILLARY’S IGNORANCE).
Too late for the CIA. They lost all credibility. Hopefully Trump starts purging the day he is sworn in.
Nothing that has happened since has altered my thinking on this.
I think this is BS. If the CIA do this, they would have done it BEFORE all of the cabinet appointments for maximum chaos. Plus, Mattis is in charge now, and if the CIA pulled this crap, I’m pretty sure he would take over and have half the CIA hanged. Either way, Pence would be in change and would slash the CIA to nothing.
Obama’s CIA doesn’t care about Russia. They’re just trying to paint Trump with something.
It is sounding like the CIA is its own country making war on the USA.
The electorate is a traitor, perhaps..?
Interesting times.
Don’t tease me. I’d like to see Langley leveled. The spook shop has become a nut house.
“the pro-Islamist CIA left a naked Marxist in the White Hut for 8 long years without a peep.”
BTTT
“If the CIA is looking for treason in dealings with Russia, look to Obama’s quote about being more flexible AFTER the election in 2012...”
BTTT
One week left, and the Trump folks are keeping their intentions in this matter very quiet. I have a feeling there will be the option of “resign or be prosecuted” to many of the higher ups in the CIA, and some massive restructuring afterwards.
Trump does not take those who mess with him lightly.
“We need to just get rid of the CIA completely.”
Absolutely. That was a globalist controlled agency, like the Mossad, from the start. Controlled by the Rothschilds completely, so they could eventually control the World-and assassinate people like JFK, who got in their way. They also use the CIA to create crises (false flags), so they can remove more and more of our Constitution (which is obliterated, by the way!!!).
It is just an unconstitutional, evil, unnecessary agency——which gets billions of taxpayer dollars to destroy us.
