Panetta, it should be noted, is a Democrat who served as both CIA Director and Defense Secretary under President Obama.

But when Panetta referred to Trump’s call for a Russian hack on Clinton’s emails, he was interrupted by the chants, which were temporarily drowned out when Panetta said: “Donald Trump can not become commander-in-chief”.
Trump’s comments were about more than 30,000 emails missing from a private server Clinton had used while secretary of state.
Panetta called her “the single most experienced and prepared person who has ever run for president”.
While the Democrat-heavy panel of former US leaders and national security experts discussed a litany of foreign and domestic security challenges the next president will face, one thing remained consistent – Trump, at least in some way, has left each of them distressed.
He added: “We can not put an erratic finger on our nuclear weapons”, he says. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton received the number of votes needed to secure the party’s nomination. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press”. “We can not afford an erratic on our nuclear weapons”, Panetta said in his address. “She is smart, she is principled, she is tough, and she is ready”, Panetta told the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.
America needs to elect Clinton, he said to work with America’s allies and “to fight ISIS”, Hutson said.
“Think about that for a moment”, Panetta said.
Panetta, who served alongside Clinton in President Barack Obama’s administration, called Trump’s Russian Federation comments “inconceivable”. “Donald Trump.is asking one of our adversaries to engage in hacking or intelligence efforts against the United States to affect our election”.
“Trump gets his foreign policy experience from watching TV and running the Miss Universe Pageant”, Panetta said.
