So Trump takes the word of Putin over the conclusions of multiple US Intelligence agencies.

Can anyone really dispute at this point that Trump is in Russia's pocket?

[Fuzzy Bear]

He's not in Russia's pocket, but he's not an unbiased observer to all of this.

Brennan was the most politicized CIA director since George H. W. Bush was for Gerald Ford.

The Trumpers will need a lot more than this to turn away from their messiah. But no, Trump's alignment with Russia has been obvious to anyone not wrapped in denial ever since he publicly asked Russia to help him win the election.

Just like his open call to murder women and children, and his equally well-documented advocacy of sexual assault, even people opposed to Trump seem unwilling to admit how  evil and dangerous to our Republic he is.

I’m sure that’ll go over well at Langley

Still waiting on that Iraq WMD.

If the Bush administration had listened to the CIA, the case for the war would have been weaker.

Every Republican President politicizes intelligence to suit their preexisting choices. Trump the same as Bush.

That article is mostly about Al Qaeda. Even the Bush administration State Department didn't list Iraq as a country where Al Qaeda was active. Basically they just tried to fool people who weren't paying any attention into thinking that there was a link there. The WMD claim involved the intelligence agencies. Well basically we knew that Iraq once had WMD.... because we sold them to them. But they got rid of them. Sneaky Iraqis.

You do not mess with the CIA. Period.

It can make or break the Presidency. Obama, the last president that one would think compatible with the CIA due to identity and ideology treated it well, and the CIA rewarded him by giving the Armed Forces the means for the underworld-style hit on Osama bin Laden.  That may alone explain why Barack Obama was a two-term President. Contrast Dubya, who outed CIA agent Valerie Plame and may have gotten some American 'assets' of the CIA killed. 

The CIA has ways in which t ruin political careers.

Can ruin more than just careers

What a slap in the face, that the president is giving all the hard work done by most of the people in the CIA and FBI. Many of these individuals literally put their lives on the line, to just have their sacrifice called "fake," and to be told in an international arena (trump's Asia trip) that Putin (a former KGB officer) is more credible compared to them.

What horror ! I bet many of them would like to speak out, but cant.
Our president is worthless crap.

[President Johnson]

Imagine what Tonald Drump's reaction would have been, if Barack Obama slammed the intelligence during his administration.

This X 10

Imagine what Tonald Drump's reaction would have been, if Barack Obama slammed the intelligence during his administration.

Or if Obama slammed Gold Star parents. John McCain's war record. War Widows. The military leadership as a whole. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.

But the fact those same people readily give Trump a total pass is why all too many of his supporters richly deserve the deplorable label.

In fairness to the idiot, Clapper, Brennan and Comey are dangerous hacks who should be held in contempt.
