Think about it.
What a fucking disgrace. This cannot be allowed to stand.

(32,073 posts)And, I don't see the CIA catering to a guy who is in bed with the Russians--if he makes it into office.

(32,886 posts)The CIA has no jurisdiction inside the country. The FBI would have to arrest Trump and then we would have an interesting Constitutional crisis on our hands.

GoCubsGo
(32,073 posts)And, yeah. I can only imagine how they feel about the election being stolen with the help of a former KGB agent.
Abu Pepe
(637 posts)arguably all intel gathering agencies based on his broad brush.

(637 posts)but the United States as a (flawed as it might be) democratic republic may rest on patroitic professionals in many agencies.

(32,073 posts)He and his merry band of miscreants are picking a fight with the CIA. I honestly don't think they are going to win that fight. They'll be lucky if they come out of it alive, IMHO.

(1,601 posts)We thought Cheney would go because of outing CIA agents and saying FU to the CIA.
THere are probably a big portion of the CIA that are in Putins pocket too. Just like the FBI.

(32,073 posts)The New York branch, from where all the crap came, is in Guiliani's pocket. They were complicit, because they wanted to destroy Hillary on behalf of that, not because they support Putin.
As for the CIA, We're talking apples and oranges here. Yeah, Cheney outed one of their spooks, but he wasn't in bed with the Russians, or any other foreign government. I doubt they will tolerate this.

"Hanssen received payments of $1.4 million in cash and diamonds from the information he gave the Soviet Union and Russia."

(32,073 posts)There's that pesky New York City office again... And, he did get caught, and is rotting in prison for the rest of his life. As I hope Mr. Trump, Mr. Comey, Mr. McConnell, and their co- conspirators will, as well.

(60,006 posts)This could be one of the biggest.
For the most part, our so-called leaders, and the media, gives a big yawn.
It is beyond nauseating....infuriating. I can't find the appropriate words anymore, but I know what my mood is.

Abu Pepe
(637 posts)Trump openly called on the Russians to hack HRCs email.
Trump has downplayed the Crimean invasion.
Trump has praised Putin.
Trump has implied that he won't enforce the NATO Charter.
Trump just appointed a SoS who is a buddy of Putin.

(28,270 posts)Trump is a Russian puppet with Putin pulling his strings given the facts stated in the title of your post OP?
