President Trump on Saturday lashed out at U.S. intelligence leaders for their conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, calling them “political hacks” and slamming the investigations into Russian interference as a “Democratic hit job.”

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump blasted former U.S. intelligence officials by name, including former CIA director John Brennan, former director of national intelligence James Clapper and former FBI Director James Comey.

"I mean, give me a break, they are political hacks," Trump said, according to CNN. He was discussing the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump. "So you look at it, I mean, you have Brennan, you have Clapper and you have Comey," he continued. "Comey is proven now to be a liar and he is proven now to be a leaker.”...

Trump said that the investigation into Russian interference in the election was a “Democratic-inspired thing” and a “pure hit job."

I'm SURE trashing the Intelligence Community is going to endure you to their hearts. (NOT)

They are more likely to dig in deeper and work even HARDER to nail your fucking fat ass.
