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.

"According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials as well as other measures in retaliation for the hacking."
Lock him up as soon as possible.

“Brennan is a Socialist and a practicing MUSLIM.
Take a hike, Brennan. You CIA guys have been embarrassing this country for 60 years, doing far worse meddling in other countries than the small-potatoes hacking of the DNC that has gotten you so upset with Russia. Why weren’t you outraged when China and Russia hacked right into the federal government on numerous occasions? JUST GO AND SHUT UP!
President Trump has no need to heed the spoutings of an obama mudslime appointee during the last moments of his appointment. Pay no attention to the obama muslims behind the curtain.
That is a good idea.
With all the news about his rocky relationships with groups like, African American, Hispanics, people of color who do not identify as African Americans, LGBT and others in that community, the intelligence organizations, Democrats (of course that is a given), Republican establishment traitors, and others I'm sure I have forgotten about, one has to wonder how he won the Presidency.
I have a request for all these different folks, if you can't just leave, can you at least just find your safe spaces and remain there in quiet solitude? I for one am tired of listening to your complaints. After all you never cared about the complaints of the millions who supported Trump. It was demanded that we remain out of sight and unheard from. Time for you to practice what you preached to these folks for 8 long disastrous years.
Fun. Thanks for introducing me to Mr. Walters.
Some people keep saying the CIA has become politicized. Others say that’s silly. Sure glad Brennan is here to set the record straight.
brennen is a muslim and knows full well that trump will move from being broadly promuslim and anti soviet to being pro soviet and anti muslim. likely all the leakers in the spook agencies are muslims as well.
that’s just the way it works. this is much similar to the communist days in the 30’s and 40’s.
I agree. There MUST be consequences for anti-American actions. Law and Order will once again reign in the USA after Jan. 20th!!!
“Russia tried to help him win election”
Compared to the support the MSM gave to Hilary, every damn day for 2 years straight?
And they continue, with non-stop ‘hacking” nonsense!
How many Democrat governors were there in 2009? Hint: 29
How many in 2017? Hint: 16
“Republicans are now in control of a record 67 (68 percent) of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers in the nation, more than twice the number (31) in which Democrats have a majority, according to the bipartisan National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).
“That’s more than at any other time in the history of the Republican Party,” according to NCSL. “They also hold more total seats, well over 4,100 of the 7,383, than they have since 1920.”
Next year, the GOP will control both legislative chambers in 32 states - an all-time high, according to NCSL - while Democrats will have total control of just 13 state legislatures.
In 24 of the 32 states with Republican-controlled legislatures, voters have also elected Republican governors. In contrast, Democrats have a “political trifecta” in just six states.
Since 2009, when President Obama took office, his party has lost a total of 919 seats in state legislatures nationwide, according to NCSL data.Since 2009, when President Obama took office, his party has lost a total of 919 seats in state legislatures nationwide, according to NCSL data.”
Did the Russians hack every local election for the last 8 years? Or did the Divine Barry drive the Democrat Car off the cliff?
***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. ***
Agree.
Obama: he voted for Gus Hall for president another fellow traveler.
I wonder if John Brennan realizes that stirring up trouble with Russia diverts attention from the much greater threats: Islam and China, and prevents the US from aligning itself with an ally to resist them. Oh...he does realize that...sorry John, guess I let the cat out of the old bag.
Let us ponder one of life’s great mysteries:
Obama, Brennan, et al, refuse to even use the words “Islamic Terrorism” when Muslims massacre 100’s in self-avowed acts of Islamic terrorism, lest doing so drive peaceful Muslims to become terrorists; but,
Lambasting Russia 24/7 on spurious evidence as the main enemy to peace will make Russia’s leaders easier to deal with? If the Russians nuked several US cities, would Brennan and Obama then declare that Russia was our best friend and this was just a random domestic violence targeting error by a mentally-challenged lone wolf?
I hope Trump literally leaves his shoe print on this fool’s arse.
Let me GET THIS STRAIGHT - the Obama appointee running the FBI attacks Trump as being an idiot (to paraphrase) when it comes to Russia - but the man is NOT POLITICAL and would NEVER LIE to defend Obama or make Trump look bad, regarding Russian hacking.
Sounds to me like Brennen just handed off any claim he might have had to credibility on the hacking stuff.
0bama’s lapdog has to be given the boot 1st thing on January 20th.
The only problem with this removal of sanctions idea is I think that the idea did not come from Trump. Fake news.
1- he was a Muslim
2 - like Obama and Valerie Jarrett, he also wanted to ensure that Iran has nuclear weapons
