Outgoing CIA Director John Brennan ripped into Donald Trump on Sunday for "talking and tweeting" about possibly easing sanctions against Russia, saying the president-elect lacks a full understanding of the threat Moscow poses to the United States.
"I think he has to be mindful that he does not have a full appreciation and understanding of what the implications are of going down that road," Brennan said on "Fox News Sunday," a show Trump routinely watches.
"Now that he's going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting, he's going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that U.S. and national security interests are protected," Brennan added.
The extraordinary televised lecture to the incoming president highlighted the bitter state of Trump's relationship with the American intelligence community just days before he is inaugurated as the nation's 45th president. Trump has repeatedly shrugged off intelligence that's convinced Republicans and Democrats that Russia tried to help him win election.

Brennan can go f@ck himself.. His days at CIA are pitifully few. Frigging Muslim.
What part of “secret” doesn’t this partisan dog understand? He outs himself as a hack by making public political attacks. Good riddance!
Head to Riyadh for your last check,Johnny!
The only word that matters to me is “outgoing.” Thank you for your opinion, sir. The exit is that way. (points)
If Russian threat is so serious why Obama forces defense cut? Why purge? Why reduction in nuclear arsenal?
Was he planing to surrender?
Oh, as opposed to having a separate insecure server to hide from the Feds.
Where was the ‘ripping’ on national media for that?
I wish DJT could abolish the CIA. It’s the only way to get the dirty politics and the shadow gov out of that swamp.....don’t just drain it, nuke it.
January 20
This guy did a TERRIBLE job gathering information and making analysis.
So on his way out, he blasts his new boss.
What a loser.
Funny, the Dems laughed at Romney for saying Russia was a significant threat. Now that they can gain a perceived political advantage from such, they have changed their tune. Typical.
Trump has every right to make his own overtures to Russia and Brennan has no GD business trying to run foreign policy - in public no less! Some CIA director!
This guy needs to shut up and clean his desk out.
Brennan is a Socialist. He has proven his inability to run a federal agency. Just another of many Obama hacks.
What were Brennan’s qualifications to be named director of the CIA?
How the hell can this partisan hack pretend to know world conditions or to set policy AFTER he leaves office? Preposteeous. This is all politics the world does not revolve around Russia.
Go f yourself muzzie.
Moslem Brennan, who carefully called the VP Elect
by that, but called PresElect Trump “Mr. Trump”,
smiled every time someone pointed out about
the CIA-Brennan-released salacious story.
After the swearing in, Brenan should be walked out the door unceremoniously.
