Joe Scarborough warns Trump: CIA can cut your administration to shreds with leaks and they will

The last thing that the president-elect should do is attack and ignore the intelligence agencies, according to “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough. The result will be an administration shredded “with leaks.”

The segment began with a New York Times article that revisits a 2015 interview from Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President-elect Donald Trump’s new national security advisor.

“They’ve lost sight of who they actually work for,” Flynn said in the interview. “They work for the American people. They don’t work for the president of the United States.” He continued, speaking of the CIA’s leadership: “Frankly, it’s become a very political organization.” They also cited him in another 2015 interview in which he explained, “It’s all political with” the CIA leadership. Flynn also claimed that the CIA was a pawn in helping President Obama’s reelection campaign.

“They’ve really been lying to the American public,” he said in the interview, referring to the Obama administration and much of the national security and intelligence establishment. “The Department of Defense and those of us that have allowed this sort of a happy talk — ‘We’re moving in the right direction, things are working.’ It’s not. The Taliban are going to come back into power, or ISIS is going to come back into power.”

Joe Scarborough anticipates an unprecedented investigation that will ultimately result from this. “The CIA can cut the new administration to shreds every week with selective leaks, and they will if this relationship is not cleaned up. And to have somebody as your national security advisor, who is accusing the C.I.A., who I said yesterday, is the organization that is on the tip of the spear in the fight against terrorism every day, accuse them of lying. It’s just, it’s mind boggling.”

1. Twitler knows best. His hubris will be his undoing. nt

[BeyondGeography]

2. He'll spend forever trying to figure out who done wronged him

It will be comical.

[MADem]

3. I have a theory that when he's tweeting at three a.m., he's up to go wee wee.

And when he's angrily tweeting at six in the morning, he's wrestling with some dry and stubborn stool!!! More veggies, Con-ald....more veggies!! LOL!

I picture him sitting on his golden crapper, pudgy, swollen fingers wrapped around his smartphone, furiously poking away at his screen as he waits for nature to oblige him!

[BeyondGeography]

8. Funny

Another twist on that 3 am C-in-C call.

[MADem]

12. My greatest fear is that his vexation at his constipated nature might cause him to declare WW3!

I'm too old and unfit to go back into uniform...and I suspect they'd drag me back.

[Calista241]

17. Dude, that visual was so not necessary. n/t

[MADem]

18. But it makes sense. Why in the world would any adult say the absurd things he says,

unless vexed by constipation?

[treestar]

4. Oh I thought Joe was kissing the Orange Ass

I never watch him but enjoy his antics via DU.

[Cha]

6. It seems he's trying to help him by

telling him to cut that shite out.

Do you think drumpf will listen to his buddy and stop smearing the CIA?

[treestar]

7. Nope.

drumpf listens to nobody - his brain is the best and he doesn't need to!

[Cha]

19. ..

OT.. we both have Hs in our sig lines. lol

[treestar]

20. I don't see it in your sig line now

You mean a Hillary logo?

[Cha]

21. Yes.. I just saw it!

I have the Ocean and a Rainbow in Kauai as my backdrop.

[treestar]

22. That's pretty!

5. Who really thinks Putin's Russia gives a rat's ass about the American Billionaire boys club?

Those who have spent their entire lives manipulating people and information are much more dangerous.

[stevenleser]

9. Anyone who pays attention to the facts

First off, Russia is all about billionaire boys clubs. That's who runs Russia, Oligarchs.

And as far as "those who have spent their entire lives manipulating people" you just described Putin.

[gordianot]

10. Yes the Russian Billionaire boys club wants to win with those Americans who were kicked out.

Quiet simply Russia won.

[Bayard]

11. Ever Read

Ever read, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", by John Parker? I think this time, those tactics have been used against us.

[Bayard]

13. Ooops!

Not Parker, its Perkins

[mopinko]

14. you can edit.

and yes, a very interesting read.
have no doubt that putin would not want him if he didnt already own him. and he is just the sort to be turned w/o even knowing it.

[Binkie The Clown]

15. 1. Pick your enemies carefully. 2. Don't make an enemy of the CIA. n/t

[Sorceress]

16. It's interesting how people from the Trump regime like Flynn almost wet their pants

anytime someone says something sideways about Putin. Yet, they have no fear or qualms in criticizing the C.I.A. Scarborough is correct on this one. (Hey-even a broken clock...) You don't want it with the C.I.A. and especially over some b.s. It's one thing if you are fighting for what's right but these dudes know they are dead wrong.
