Fmr. CIA Director John Brennan on MSNBC Claims Tulsi Gabbard Will Intentionally Withhold Intelligence from Trump

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: "Well, when there are National Security Council meetings that the president chairs in the White House Situation Room, usually the first person to speak would be the director of national intelligence and the director of CIA. They lay down the intelligence basis for any type of policy discussion that ensues. And so, if that intelligence basis, that briefing is going to be skewed or is going to be lacking some very important critical information, the policy decision that ultimately comes out of it is also going to be baseless. And also, you know, it’s going to be potentially threatening to our national security. So, again, it’s the president’s daily brief, but also the role that the director of national intelligence, director of CIA play in order to ensure that the people who have to make those decisions in the National Security Council have -- are fully informed about what the reality is, what the intelligence is, what our intelligence gaps are. And if they withhold things or if they skew things, it really is going to be detrimental to the national security."
