It looks like Trump has taken on the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and lied about what they knew and when they knew it. I know little about this. But if that agency has pride in finding the truth and knowing it, and then Trump lies about what they told him, then it shows Trump's own stupidity.
.. People in the CIA risk their lives to bring back truthful information to their superiors and the U.S.A.
All Trump had to say is this is "all classified" and then shut up. What is your opinion? I really don't know.

(7,947 posts)The "smoking gun" was that he tried to get the CIA to tell the FBI to back off.
Trump's already kind of admitted to that.
I think Trump's supporters are far more cultlike than Nixon's, and they'll support him (many of them) no matter what comes out. But I bet the Republicans who voted for others in the primaries (that is, a majority) probably will start peeling away when they decide he's a loser and his family starts being indicted.
I really feel like with the election, we turned a corner. Congress can no longer protect him by refusing to do oversight. He's constantly bragging/admitting about crimes, so even a short investigation is going to ensnare him in lies-- and lying to Congress is a crime also.

Lots of experience in the CIA..actually doing the kind of work that Trump's stupidity thinks he can do. CIA experience is Super Bowl/World Series experience..Life & Death. Exceptionally bright and resilient.
Further,some past CIA leaders may want to help the current leaders. Trump really doesn't have a clue. He thinks he knows it all, but he & his gang are up against Mueller, the CIA, and maybe the FBI, and many ex leaders who would like to save the U.S.A. because it is worth saving..and Trump is worth nothing. He has created hate and fear where there was trust and caring under Obama. His lies and hate will bring him down in my opinion. Sure, tell lies about the CIA..at your own risk Mr. Trump. Perhaps the CIA, FBI, and Mueller will find a way. I would bet on that team, not Trump and his gang....
..Oh, it may take some time, but the good guys are very patient, and Trump certainly is not..more Trump mistakes likely. Stay tuned..

Or they find out this was a favor from the prince for him because he was critical of trump, from trump and jared giving the prince intel on his opposition , then hired mercenaries to round them up for him to face then prison or getting murdered. trump and jared are going to have a lot of explaining to do soon if they did any of this. I think they've been more corrupt than anyone knows with the prince . It will be exposed if this happened.
