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.”
I don’t believe all this fake news. If the left is planning a coup before inauguration, they better remember, us deplorables have all the guns.
Slippery Rock? Bwahaha surely you jest.
All of this over the past week has brought me to the conclusion that the CIA actually DID hire Chuck Barris as a hitman.
They are such a collection of kooks, clowns and nutjobs apparently, that TOTALLY fits their M.O.
Most of ‘em would turn up their nose and quit rather than report to a boss who went to Slippery Rock.
Or Schindler’s Piss?
Not phony.
Phony Baloney = “A substitute to the word “lie/s” and to a extent “bullshit”.”
You couldn’t possibly disagree with that?

Going to take the world’s largest enema to clean up the CIA.
If you ask me, this has less to do with attacking Trump and more to do with protecting Hillary. They know Trump is coming after her, so they have to concoct the narrative to make Trump look less creditable.
One she is brought up on charges they will launch the purple I’m with her army. The Clintons will rage civil war before they go to jail.
The cultural marxist policies of the Democrat Party.
they want to arrest Trump and Flynn as traitors for not wanting WWIII
Where will this all end...National execute a liberal day?
Quote:
“When I said to my brother and his wife a few weeks before the election that I believed Hillary was the CIA’s candidate in this election as was Obama eight years earlier, and Billy Jeff and of course both Bushes before that, my sister-in-law said to me with tears in her eyes, “Do you know how crazy you sound?”
Nothing that has happened since has altered my thinking on this.”
I heard an ex-CIA man say precisely that last night on Tucker Carlson’s show.
Fake News!
Make Palin head of the CIA - that should fix it!
Schumer? Right? about anything?
He has never been, nor will he ever be, right about anything that has anything to do with anything, in general, or particular.
Banish the thought, forever and ever.
Maybe CIA needs to be weeded out—what happens if Trump is Shot? If done it will be a classic Double hit. One nut shoots president, then another shoots him so he will not talk—dead men tell no tales. Enough Patsies out there, heck—I bet Meyle Streep might take on the role of John Wilks Booth and take out Trump to get her greatest oscar for saving the Republic from a “new Hitler”. We must be on our guard. If Trump is taken out there were be parties in Hollywood—they would be passing out candy, Mexico would hold a holiday and smash Trump Pinatas. The fake tears will be everywhere.
Yes - we need to know more about PizzaGate and about Scalia’s death.
These attacks on Trump are attempts to distract us from where the real dirt is.
