It's true the American president cast doubt on an assessment shared by both the U.S. intelligence community and the U.S. Senate, that the Russians interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump even suggested he trusts the Russian KGB as much as the American CIA. It was a shameful display.
Like so many Trump critics, Brennan couldn't let the president's own words do the work.
"And that's why I use the term that this was 'nothing short of treasonous.' Because it is a betrayal of the nation. He's giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It needs to stop, and Mr. Trump needs to understand there will be consequences for him too. I hope those that voted for Mr. Trump in good conscience will see he's leading us down a very dangerous path," he added.
While we're at it, the U.S. president has broad authority to set U.S. foreign policy.
Further, let's not lose sight of the fact that the Trump administration is actually tough on Russia.
From spying on the U.S. Senate, to lying repeatedly about spying on the U.S. Senate, to supporting torture programs until they were no longer politically expedient, to lying about drone war kills, Brennan would do better to leave the ethics lectures to the ethical.
