Former CIA Director John Brennan says government officials should refuse orders to fire special counsel Robert Mueller if they are told to by the White House.
"I think it's the obligation of some executive branch officials to refuse to carry that out. I would just hope that this is not going to be a partisan issue. That Republicans, Democrats are going to see that the future of this government is at stake and something needs to be done for the good of the future," Brennan told CNN's Wolf Blitzer at the Aspen Security Forum.
Brennan was appearing with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and both men, who served in the Obama administration, told Blitzer they have total confidence in Mueller. "Absolutely. It was an inspired choice- they don't come any better, " Brennan said. He added that "If Mueller is fired, I hope our elected reps will stand up and say enough is enough."
Clapper again warned publicly about Russian interference in US affairs. He was asked about the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort had with a Russian lawyer and others.
"I'm an old school, Cold War warrior and all that -- so I have, there's truth in advertising, great suspicions about the Russians and what they do. A lot of this to me had kind of the standard textbook tradecraft long deployed by Russians," Clapper said. "It would have been a really good idea maybe to have vetted whoever they were meeting with."

FU you traitor
I wonder what one would find, if one did a comprehensive search of Brennan’s papers and effects? And of all the communications between Brennan and his correspondents stored in the NSA’s databases?
I would just hope that this is not going to be a partisan issue.
LOL!

They won't be alone, either.
RE: Okay Brennan. Let’s say Trump tells Mueller that he’s fired. Then exactly what are you advocating? Be specific.
Let’s be blunt -— Brennan is effectively calling for a COUP against the president should Trump give the order to fire Mueller.
Brennan is an unethical, dishonest scumbag. If they ever look and actually get to the bottom of this Russia thing and the leaking of classified information, he will be at the center of it.
Muzzlime TRAITOR. Hang him.
It already is a partisan issue you dolt. Thats why it needs to end.
So many seditionists and traitors...so little time.
I’m a (very junior) cold warrior myself and find Brennan’s response to be so much swooning over “indelicate” conversation.
Yeah sure LoL Brennan. Someone else gets fired and possibly frog marched out of the building while the Treasury cuts off Mueller’s blank check funding.
President Trump should have locked this traitor and the entire bunch in Guantanamo Bay on Day 1.
He went spirit of antichrist.
Of course he would lick Obama’s high heels.
Funny, I was just thinking the same thing for this case and the case of the DC Police Destroying the Hard Drives before giving them to the FBI.
LOCK THEM UP!!!
One of the hallmarks of the 'old school Cold War warrior' is making sure the boogeyman is sufficiently scary to justify all the counterboogeyman expenditures. If the public doesn't fear the Soviets enough, they may not cheer the defense contracts for new aircraft carriers and fighterbombers. Another hallmark is a pathology of keeping that cold war cold. Don't stop the campaign interference by Russia, the incursions into Crimea or Arkadia, provocative sorties near Alaska, the assassination of dissidents, the support of Iran and Hizbullah; just monitor it, express chest thumping disgust, and if necessary push for sanctions. If Brennan was such a good old school Cold Warrior, and if that is a thing worth being proud of, where was he when Russia was shaming the US and testing our 'red lines'? I guess he was powerless to do anything as a low level government employee. He can't have it both ways.

Pull his generous govt. pension & gold-plated health care, and deport this traitor.
Nah, they’re just trying to set up another “Saturday Night Massacre” scenario.
They want another Watergate so bad they can taste it.
Yeah and Paul Ryan is trustworthy. /gag spit
