Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said last week that the U. S. intelligence agencies could “get back” at President-elect Donald Trump for his criticism of their probe into Russian involvement in the hacking of Democratic Party officials.
“You take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you,” Schumer, a New York Democrat, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this. ”
“From what I am told, they are very upset with how he has treated them and talked about them,” he added.
On Tuesday, intelligence officials said they had presented classified information to Trump that Russia had compromising personal and financial information about him.
Trump took to Twitter:
FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!
On Wednesday, Trump continued to slam the intelligence community.
Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to “leak” into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?
