Palmieri made headlines last week when she got into a shouting match with Trump aides, including former campaign manager and current transition adviser Kellyanne Conway, during a post-election forum for campaign operatives at Harvard University.

“We shouted about this as loud as we could,” added former Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin in another tweet. “Hardly anyone listened.”

Other former staffers took aim at Trump, whose transition team blasted the CIA in a statement Friday night following the report, saying, “These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.”
