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?
