Trump Can Be Played, Ex-Intelligence Chiefs (under Obama) Say
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 12th, 2017 6:35 PM Author: Confused scourge upon the earth church building Trump ‘Can Be Played,’ Ex-Intelligence Chiefs Say By Mark Niquette Updated on Brennan, Clapper say president can be wooed by flattery Officials respond to Trump criticism on Russian interference
John Brennan Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg President Donald Trump is showing he “can be played” by Vladimir Putin when he doesn’t acknowledge Russian interference in the 2016 election, a former Central Intelligence Agency director said.
“I think he’s giving Putin a pass,” John Brennan, CIA director under President Barack Obama, said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It demonstrates to Mr. Putin that Donald Trump can be played by foreign leaders who are going to appeal to his ego and to try to play upon his insecurities, which is very, very worrisome from a national-security standpoint.”
James Clapper, former U.S. director of national intelligence, agreed with that assessment and said he thinks “both the Chinese and the Russians think they can play” Trump with flattery.
Brennan and Clapper responded to comments Trump made on his Asia trip. The president on Saturday initially said Putin believed he didn’t interfere in the election and that it’s time for the U.S. to work with Russia on more pressing concerns.
Also speaking on CNN, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin defended the president, saying he’s “not getting played by anybody” and was looking to other matters.
North Korea, Syria
“President Trump was focused on some very important issues, which are North Korea and Syria and those are areas that we need to work together with Russia and get them on board with our strategy,” Mnuchin said.
Separately, on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Mnuchin said “nobody thinks” Russian activities had any impact on the election. “So whatever occurred, there was no impact.”
Clapper said the chances that Russia will pursue like interests with the U.S. are “slim and none.” He said the threat Russia poses to the U.S. and its democracy is “manifest and obvious” and that to say otherwise “is astounding and in fact, poses a peril” to the country.
“The Russians do not harbor good intentions toward the United States, and there shouldn’t be any illusions or any ambiguity about that -- and our president fosters that ambiguity,” Clapper said.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump called Clapper and Brennan, along with former FBI Director James Comey, “political hacks,” and added that Comey was “proven now to be a liar and he’s proven to be a leaker.”
Brennan responded on CNN by saying, “considering the source of the criticism, I consider that criticism a badge of honor.” |

Date: November 13th, 2017 1:19 AM Author: ebony range A new CNN poll shows President Trump at another all-time low as the Russia case continues to be a problem for his presidency. The survey shows 36 percent approve of Mr. Trump’s performance as president — the lowest approval rating of any CNN poll — while 58 percent disapprove of his performance. The numbers of those concerned about Russia also keeps increasing with 47 percent saying they are “very concerned” about the continued news, an increase from just 27 percent in July.

Date: November 13th, 2017 2:49 AM Author: ebony range For $96 million in 2008, just four years after the compromised shithead paid less than half that. It was on the market for two years before the Russian oligarch bought the house. And he never lived in it before razing it. He’s expected to lose about $20 million when the sells the three subdivisions that are there now. Of course, the Russian oligarch probably got more that we don’t know about. He and Trump appear to have had very extensive contacts in the ensuing years. I’m sure Muellers army of mob prosecutors and investigators will look into it. Especially in light of the fact that the compromised tool removed the US Atty for the S. Fla. and is personally interviewing replacements (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3794821&forum_id=2#34673283) |
