printSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said this to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow:
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, [Donald Trump] is being really dumb to do this.”
“What do you think the intelligence community would do if they were motivated to?” Maddow asked. Shouldn’t she be opposing such abuse of state power?
My money’s on President-elect Trump. WINNING.
UPDATE (1/17): Military-Industrial-Complex & the immaculate Intelligence Community (IC).
A #European friend sends this message: #Trump says what we all think, especially about #AngelaMerkel. I like his opinion about #NATO.

#Trump has taken on every aspect of a corrupt system, including the #DeepState, aka the #IntelligenceCommunity. https://t.co/wH6vSSc7Ap

Is @BretBaier watering down #Eisenhower's warning against unwarranted influence of the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex? https://t.co/ZxSPv867Oa
