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.

John Brennan’s Spooky Swearing-In
By Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison

Sounds to me like CIA Corruptor thinks he runs the gov.
Coup d’etat Johnny boy?
Amazing he could take time out from going down on Obama and Hillary to issue more fake CIA news.
Admirable multi-taking....
We cannot have a politicized intelligence agency. The CIA must be disbanded and it’s operations handed over to Military intelligence.
“The 1980s called, and they want their policy back.” Suck it, Brennen.
The creepy old meat puppet speaks. I sense an undercurrent of threat to every sentence.
Imagine a world in which a CIA director actually attacks an incoming President.
We are in Government Civil War territory.
“”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,””
So, John, you’re admitting you’ve been,lying to President-elect Trump in his daily security briefings, right?
Wasn't it about a year ago that the newspapers were reporting that Brennan's boss (O'Bungler, the man-child)
only attended 38% of the national security intelligence meetings, since he was "the smartest guy in the room" ?
I am sure that Trump knows his responsibilities, and is aware of an intelligence leak in John's organization.
Accountability for secrecy starts at the top, and you obviously failed, John.
I do believe the ‘intelligence’ community has shown themselves to be relatively incompetent. The list is too lengthy to enumerate here, most are aware anyway. But this latest disruption regarding the golden showers was the last straw. They obviously can’t or won’t discern fact from fiction when it comes to politically motivated issues, and even some genuine security issues.
PBS put out a documentary several years ago called “The Man Who Knew” about an FBI agent who had every reason to believe that 911 was going to happen, he just didn’t know when or where. He tried furiously to convince his people of it and they blew him off as a kook.
Eventually, he took a new job as chief of security at the twin towers. His first day on the job was....911. He didn’t survive.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. :(
I don’t mean to disparage people who do work to do their best, but the political plays really need to stop while a more ethical stance needs to be had.
I wonder if this job makes people schitzo??
He should be escorted out the door noon Friday. His office should be searched and his clearances terminated.
Just you wait Brennan, the Trump administration will be investigating your ads...

Oh, great tag line!!
Brennan supported Communist Gus Hall for President. Who cares what lies this turncoat says?
Brennan is a 5th columnist who should be treated as such. I hope they bug the mosque he frequently attends.
Brennan proves my thoughts about muslims. They may have been born here, but when Allah tells them to ruin someone’s
reputation or tells them to rid the country of infidels the muslims will walk in lock step and do away with All infidels. That is unless we put them in their places, where
they came from.
Do you suppose “Submit your resignation now, or face immediate prosecution upon my inauguration” would fly?
