Donald Trump takes aim at US intelligence community on Russia

(CNN)President-elect Donald Trump's transition team slammed the CIA Friday, following reports the agency has concluded that Russia intervened in the election to help him win.

In a stunning response to widening claims of a Russian espionage operation targeting the presidential race, Trump's camp risked an early feud with the Intelligence community on which he will rely for top secret assessments of the greatest threats facing the United States.

"These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction," the transition said in a terse, unsigned statement.

"The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It's now time to move on and 'Make America Great Again.'"

He has done enough on his own that his open warfare with the cia makes his humiliating downfall assured.

If a country interfered with our election, a sane president-elect would want a full investigation, not lash out at the CIA.

Not that I like her, but it would be a shame if her head allowed Trump to get away.

Sorry... my humor is pretty dark sometimes!

Consistent with Trump attacking anyone and anything he disagrees with, or perceives as an ‘enemy,’ the facts and truth notwithstanding.
