\u201cTrump has repeatedly called for a better relationship between the U.S. and Putin\u2019s government. He suggested in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he\u2019d consider easing the latest sanctions on Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019I 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\u2019, Brennan said.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe CIA chief roundly denounced Trump\u2019s approach to Russia and other national security threats, suggesting the president-elect has much to understand before he can make informed decisions on such matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019The world is watching now what Trump says and listening very carefully. If he doesn\u2019t have confidence in the [US] intelligence community, what signal does that send to our partners and allies as well as our adversaries?\u2019 Brennan said.\u201d<\/p>\n
Signal?<\/p>\n
Mr. Brennan, the signal was sent to our partners, allies, and adversaries decades ago:<\/p>\n
The CIA is a criminal agency.<\/p>\n
Is that clear enough?<\/p>\n
Long ago, the CIA criminally stepped outside its mandate, in order to shape world events it had no business participating in. Is that clear enough?<\/p>\n
