Departing CIA director John Brennan criticized Donald Trump on Sunday for his approach to national security, saying the president-elect should not be carelessly talking and tweeting without understanding Russias threat to the US.
Brennan also said he took great umbrage at Trumps suggestion that agencies biased against him were behaving as if the US were Nazi Germany.
Now that hes going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting, Brennan told Fox News Sunday, hes going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that US and national security interests are protected.
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.
