Trump's Rational Response to Testimony of Obama's CIA, FBI
FBI Director James Comey and then-CIA Director John Brennan — both appointed by President Barack Obama — issued public warnings over the past two years about a terrorist threat to the United States that demanded a rational response from the president.
Donald Trump has now provided one.
Comey issued a key warning in the House Homeland Security Committee on Oct. 21, 2015.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee's ranking Democrat, asked Comey about an assistant FBI director having informed the committee that — as Thompson put it — "the concern in Syria is that we don't have systems in place on the ground to collect the information to vet."
"Databases don't hold the information on these individuals," Thompson said. "Is that still the position of the department?"
