Brennan: Nunes’ Comments About Leaks from Obama Officials ‘Very Unhelpful’

‘The information can be coming from any number of quarters, whether it be intelligence community, White House, Congress, because a lot of people have access to this information’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: "Well, I think it is very unhelpful to make allegations about who is responsible for these leaks. And I think we have to distinguish between leaks of classified information, which is against the law, and leaks of discussions that ought to be taking place within the administration. And as far as leaks of classified information are concerned, I agree that they are appalling and they need to be investigated, they need to stop, because the impact on our collection systems and our capabilities can be grave. So, I do think it is important to be able to stop those leaks. But the information can be coming from any number of quarters, whether it be intelligence community, White House, Congress, because a lot of people have access to this information."
