<p>“Well, when these things happen, I certainly get mad,” Brennan began. “I get angry. I also get sad that this is the state of our country and the state of our politics these days.”</p>
<p>“The fact that individuals like a Jim Jordan are going to go after somebody — I served nearly three and a half decades in public service, a lot involving counter-terrorism in the aftermath of 9/11,” Brennan reminded the audience clearly taken aback that anyone would dare try to hold him to account. “They don’t care about doing things like this to destroy individuals, to go after me, to hurt me and my family and others.”</p>

<p>“And so I’m saddened by what has happened,” he continued. “Sometimes I’m dispirited and disheartened. At the same time, I feel motivated to be able to stand up and I’m glad that other people are standing up as well. And I see that more and more people are starting to realize what Donald Trump is all about, and so I’m hoping that the Republicans in Congress, and I know it’s a — it’s a wish that I’ve had for quite a while — they’re really going to draw the line.”</p>
<p>Brennan went on to accuse Trump of “abuse of power.”</p>
