Washington (CNN) Former CIA Director Leon Panetta said Monday it was inappropriate for President Donald Trump to use his speech to the agency as an opportunity to complain about reports on the crowd size at his inauguration. That was not the appropriate place to start whining about what was happening in terms of numbers in the inauguration," Panetta told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on " The Situation Room" Monday. "That wall contains the stars of CIA officers who have given their life to this country. That's about as close as you can get to hallow ground at the CIA. Trump had told the CIA: "There is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and the CIA than Donald Trump, there is nobody."
