WATCH: Ex-CIA officer Phil Mudd slams Trump for suggesting that the FBI 'is systemically engaged in spying'

On Monday, Former CIA analyst Phil Mudd slammed President Donald after he attacked FBI director Christopher Wray.

"What’s your reaction and what do you think the reaction is of the men and women over at the FBI when they hear the president attack the current director like this?" CNN host Wolf Blitzer asked.

"The current director of the FBI is pretty positive. He’s sort of Mueller like. Very close to the vest, very careful about what he says, pretty clear in meetings, but doesn’t talk a lot," Mudd said.

"If you tell FBI agents when you conduct an investigation, 'you’re spying,' that’s going to be a short meeting. What the FBI agents interpret spying as that’s what the dirty guys at the CIA do," Mudd said.

"I’m sure there are a lot of FBI agents who support the president, that’s fine. But to suggest that the FBI is systemically engaged in spying is like telling the Department of Defense when you go to war, you’re murdering people. You can’t win the FBI with that," he said.
