what we're not seeing or hearing about... yet.
Trump picked the wrong country to mess with.

I cannot imagine anyone in power, or for that matter, out of power, REALLY fucking with the CIA. You'd have to be insane...

Trump postponing his speech about his business interests and McConnell abruptly changing his mind and supporting an investigation into Russian hacking are directly connected.

Also, I think Harry Reid mentioning that a close Trump ally was working with Wikileaks coincides with the information that the CIA has on hand.
