CNN commentator Phil Mudd went absolutely bananas after a so-called whistleblower filed a complaint about a phone call made by President Trump to another world leader.
Mudd, a former CIA and FBI agent, blasted the unidentified intelligence community official, calling him a “snitch.”
Per the Daily Caller:
“Boy, I’m about ready to blow a gasket,” Mudd told Cuomo about the story
“I am ticked off. This is completely inappropriate. The Congress should not be asking the intel guys to go snitch on the president,” he said later.
The intelligence community official filed a whistleblower complaint with the intelligence community inspector general on Aug. 12 after reportedly becoming concerned about Trump’s conversation with the foreign leader. The complaint was filed during a tumultuous time at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Dan Coats officially left ODNI as director of national intelligence on Aug. 15. His deputy, Sue Gordon, also tendered her resignation after learning that she would be passed over for the leadership spot.
