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.”
“Trump does not take those who mess with him lightly.”....
It’s called, “Draining The Swamp”.
Really? RT is Propaganda? I'm shocked, SHOCKED to learn this! It doesn't take more than 30 seconds of watching it to figure that out.
BTW: If RT is Russian Propaganda, then what exactly is Voice of America?
Let’s hope this passes as all the rest of the farts in the wind. These people are very mistaken if they think they can make this happen and delusional about the blow back they will get for even trying it.
These must be the people that Col. Ralph Peters has been consulting with. Jerks!
CIA islamists and leftists bump for later...
The CIA draws its personnel from same poisoned pool that the US State Department does: the Ivy League.
It is no longer to be trusted.
They aren’t being terribly successful, apparently.
Oh, good, Mcmullin can go too, then!
Hussien hasn't managed a damn thing since he's been in office, except to weaken the US and strengthen our enemies. The only thing he needs to manage now is packing up his sh*t and getting the hell out of our house.
The entire government needs a purging the likes of which has never been seen before.
No it just phony baloney!
And Hannity yesterday said Jared is a friend of his, but also that Jared has been more Democrat than Republican in the past. (As certainly his wife still is.)
It’s the “Shadow Government” or us. Trump drains the Swamp or we sink. It’s now or never.
Britain.
As in Lynn de Rothschild, “Hillraiser” FOH, her friend Soros, her friend McCain, her friend Louise Mensch who we know from Wikileaks drafted “I’m With Her” secretly even though she calls herself a British conservative (and is now seeking US Citizenship since she divorced her British husband and father of her three kids and married an American...), and the American journalists with whom she collaborates — Maggie Haberman at the NYT and Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post.
These nuts conspiracy theories are entertaining. What a bunch of fruit cakes.
Anything happens to Trump, it's on....
