John Brennan: ‘Puzzling’ Why Trump Doesn’t ‘Acknowledge’ Russian Meddling and Push Back Against Putin

RUSH EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: "Well, I think Mr. Trump knows that the intelligence agencies, specifically CIA, NSA and DBI, the ones who have responsibility for counter intelligence and looking at what Russia does, it's very clear that the Russians interfered in the election. And it's still puzzling as to why Mr. Trump does not acknowledge that and embrace it, and also push back hard against Mr. Putin. The Russian threat to our democracy and our democratic foundations is real. And I think his continuing to not say very clearly and strongly that this is a national security problem and to say to Mr. Putin, we know you did it, you would have to stop it, because there are going to be consequences if you don't."
