Bill Richardson: ‘Disturbing’ that Trump Is ‘Claiming’ Clapper, Brennan, Comey Are ‘Partisan Hacks’

RUSH EXCERPT:

RICHARDSON: "Well, it should give him pause because this is his own cabinet member, the head of the CIA, disputing the president’s assertion. What is also disturbing is the president claiming that former director clapper and Brennan and Comey are partisan hacks. I mean these are professionals. This is our intelligence community saying there was meddling, and the president is off saying something differently. Perhaps in his mind in a real estate deal, he may get something in return from Putin, maybe some progress on Syria by giving him a pass on the Russian election involvement, which nobody believes is the case. This may be his thinking, but I don’t know what makes the president tick. This is an incredible statement. Easily he could have said there was meddling, don’t do it anymore. And Putin may have moved on from that. But it’s very disturbing."
