CNN analyst Phil Mudd responds following a report from The Washington Post revealing President Donald Trump's communications with a foreign leader sparked the whistleblower complaint that has led the acting director of national intelligence to agree to testify amid a showdown with Congress. #CNN #News
Phil Mudd: Not job of US intelligence to report on White House
Wait is Mudd defending Trump? I didn’t see that twist coming.
@thereissomecoolstuff Clearly you don’t know a conman and a career criminal when you see one. Trump has been skirting the law his entire life, and the only reason has has gotten away with it is because he had a rich daddy. Every time you think that he can go no lower, he proves you wrong. So, yes, given the opportunity, he’s quite capable of the most heinous crimes. And what you are arguing is that we should give him that opportunity!
@bluegold21 you liked when trump broke his promise about Mexico paying for the wall. How do you really feel about broken promise that hasn’t happened to a foreign leader. Friend or for?
@c17iz3n Z320 Its simple itel doesn’t do foreign policy. The president does It is not part of thier job description.
c17iz3n Z320
Think it’s money?
Like the gun debate, money talks and dead ppl don’t.
Typical republican defending traitor trump.
I’m out of here, it’s sickening.
jacob c
No, he’s defending lawless trump.
I just wonder how much he was paid.
The USA intelligence agency knows the president has NO INTELLIGENCE . lol
@88Gibson LesPaul Yes because they gave us a GREAT President.Thank God Putin loves the US or he would put in a WHACKO Socialist Democrate to RUIN us!KAG!Trump and Putin in 2020!
@Anthony Egidio The Dems were 29% of the population.Now they are 27% .Also why haven’t we heard anything about Jessica Collins,a victim of Epstein who says she was forced to have sex with Joe Biden?Where is the outrage from the hypocritical Left?Trump and Putin in 2020!
they probably know how stupid you are also
Mud is trumps personal boot licker just listen to this idiot
toney ingram muller waste of money 35 millions but you still wake up?????
Clearly what was heard was so egregious that it lead to an insider going to ther authorities. Find out what was promised before you freak out or dismiss it.
@shelivesforJesus same *MUTE!!🆗👿👋👋✌😂😂😂*
@O SNOOPY SNOOP COLEMAN MUTE on me or CNN??
@QuestionSimple Answers was Mudd in the room? Does he know what Dumpster fire promised some dictator? Clearly the whistleblower does. He/ she was so freaked out they put their jobs and reputation at risk by going to the authorities. Mudd is guessing like the rest of us.
Is it possible that Trump made inappropriate promises to another country? Of course.
Investigate and clear him or just add this on top of a pile of stupidity that is America’s experiment of putting a child in office.

Unless the POTUS is committing treason. With Trump it’s possible. It’s pretty obvious that Trump gets played all the time by foreign leaders … or is it that he’s getting bribed? It makes a difference.
Too Who?
xuebaiqiang …blackmailed more likely.

@Dave Waldon I’m gonna need to arrest you for emoji abuse.
All international phone calls are monitored by the NSA systems (Echelon)
So you’re more upset with the fact someone told on Trump rather then what Trump allegedly promised? Wtf is going on in this country….🤨🤬
@Trent gay Trent gay Congress has powers of oversight to prevent the people from government abuse and to defend its own legitimate powers against encroachment by the other branches. For oversight it has to know and has the right to find out whatever e.g. the executive branch is actually doing, but Congress too has to stay within the law. For instance, Congress cannot torture or blackmail persons to obtain oversight information.
In the case of intelligence agencies the Fourth Amendment is in play and a warrant is required to allow intrusion of privacy (of US citizens within the US). Such a warrant has to meet requirements such as probable cause. The President coincidentally having been recorded in doing something stupid within his rightful powers does not qualify as probable cause.
If Congress could have directly related the conversation to real world events that objectively damaged or endangered America’s interests, maybe. E.g. If Trump promised MBS to attack Iran if Saudi Arabia could provide the plausible provocation. That would have constituted a crime and encroachment on the war declaring powers of Congress. But no such crime was reported by the complainer.
@Bo Soerjadi actually whistleblowers dont need a Warrant. That’s why they wrote the law to defend against another Republican president like Nixon and now dumpy and the grifter gang.
What did he promise around the gulf we don’t know what he promised if he even did it this is all unfounded horse crap
@Crimdor HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW.😡😡 STFU MORON.
so what is the point in listening to phone conversations if you cant report them
not suppose to spy on presidents when they talk to other leaders are you really that stupid
@David Goldman actually its law because of Republican president Nixon.
You can report them. If something illegal takes place; not if something you find offensive does.
@David Goldman They are still spying on President TRUMP. This is the problem with the cia Fbi. They want to run foreign policy. If thier is something don’t like they leak it. No wonder JFK wanted to splinter the cia into a thousand pieces.
@tawonga munyanduri: 🇬🇧 With normal Presidents, yes, but not Trump.
Right wing is always right wing. Oversight is good if it is democratic president but not republican.
How dare you want oversight on your Republican King👑
Forever Remain Nameless
Actually, he’s an authoritarian dictator with an evil regime.
Mudd is a jackass.
Does Mudd has to shout?? Jeez after his rant the whole interview is as clear as Mudd!
I’ve never seen him so upset, and usually it’s about trump ! wtf no one said its intel’s JOB to snitch on the pres,; the whole point is the guy saw something serious enough to report it through official channels. He doesn’t want to sell a book, he’s actually concerned about it. Like see something , say something ? If you see someone being attacked , you help or get help. You (hopefully) don’t say ”that’s criminal and dangerous but not my responsibility
So it’s OK if trump sell out all spy’s all secret weapons etc etc etc, it’s all OK…… Bloody hell this show getting funnyer and funnyer. And bloody scary
you dont know a whit about what was said but you think you know really stupid you are scary talking with no facts stupid
It’s just scary. Dumpie is a demented idiot. It’s amazing he hasn’t gotten more people killed than he already has.
Mudd the dud is more interested in protecting our thug authoritarian dictator than the lives of Americans.
David Goldman
Are you TROLL?
Is that why you don’t use any punctuation, or you that uneducated?
Trump is dangerous. Phil Mudd is crazy to think Trump can do anything unilaterally.
You are wrong.. Phil is right.
JHK23 Gaming – Trump is fucking you raw right now, but you’re too goddamn stupid to realize it.
The truth is that he can!
Methinks he doth protest too much. What a ranter and raver. Well managed Chris
methinks (one word)
Massialot thank you
can somebody get the tranquilizer gun Phil went off his meds again
Mudd WTF is your problem ? Get this goon of the air asap!
Mudd was on fire! And he was right! Because of your flawed political system, your president can say whatever he likes to world leaders! He has absolute power!
No he doesn’t have absolute power. We have checks and balances just for that reason. Obviously you are not a citizen or flunked civics
Hes a reichwinger. Cant separate stupid from conservatives.
@Jules Nagbunga that’s not what he said… good god, why is everyone so fucking stupid?
Israel: It is our job to spy on White House
Considering we spied on them and interfered in their elections in the past, its only fair that they’d do it back to us.
That pretty much goes for every nation out there.
Why is it ok for us to spy on everyone and interfere in elections all around the world but it’s not ok for others to do it to us?
Phil, do you seriously think that Trump is not capable of committing treason if it would make him a lot of money?
@michael majewski Keep pretending you can’t see what tRump is. 🙈
Most of the Trump-haters are over on MSNBC
wow jump the gun you must work for cnn i think you would sell oout america danyy boy such stupid comment
He already did
Except for he doesn’t even take his salary. And he’s already got a lot of money. FOCUS
💩💩💩💩💩Pure mud, Mudd! He would be singing a different tune, if it were Obama! Total 💩💩💩💩
Not true! Mudd says it like it is!
Of course he would!! So would his cult!!
Trump could take your baby mama and you would let him, you guys are such sheep
Yo Stella, you must not be familiar with Paul Mudd… He basically hates Trump. I agree that this stance is stupid, but he’s not a Trumper by any means, and I’m pretty sure he will be saying the same thing if it were Obama. He’s pretty level-headed, even though he’s yelling
Obama would never do anything that tump had done would it be weird if Obama ran again and wiped the floor with trump, Obama is still more popular and all ways will be so take that trump loser 👆
Whistleblowers need to be rewarded. Not penalized. Whistleblowers are on the side of America and its citizens, not criminal corrupt politicians.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHOSE SIDE THEY ARE ON ?
@CITRUS KNIGHT Doesnt matter, their should be an investigation and they should be protected.
After Helsinki, it would be irresponsible for the Intelligence not to monitor Trump.
Somethings wrong.
@Avery Daymond MAGA ; the FBI, CIA and NSA are the enemies of the United States and the American people. Julien Assange revealed internal FBI documents proving that the FBI provided the guns and money the Las Vegas shooter needed. Our Deep State is the number one enemy of the world.
@Leeanne Bishop ; bribes? You obviously never heard of George Soros.
@Ciara ooh If you believe that why were you not concerned when the DNC refused to have their Servers inspected by FBI??????????????
Ciara ooh I’m sorry you clearly have memory problems. Urkel Hussein Obama & Crippled Granny Hillary said before the 2016 election that there was no way the results could be compromised by nefarious sources & they also said not accepting the results would be a threat to our democracy. They said this hundreds of times so they must have meant it.
If Trump makes a deal with the enemy, the country should know about it.
