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."

I think he should receive legal warning that he is risking arrest for sedition.
Why not Niagara Falls?
Well yeah Commie Brennan voted for Gus Bell Chairman of the Communist Party for President.
Bell spent time in prison for conspiring to overthrow the US government. So we have Brennan channeling his inner Gus Bell.
Gus Hall.
Sez the muzzie mole....
John Brennan is an evil man.
Brennan spewing taqqiah
Right. LoL. I get the names confused sometimes with the major league baseball player of old Gus Bell.
And that’s only what he has to say...
Could a concurrent investigation be initiated with a different special counsel into Democrat, Hillary, et al. corruption?
If we want to put the genie back in the bottle there are going to have to be big changes. I would start with predetermined penalties for leaking information to the press - with the minimum being a 3 year prison sentence and loss of all present and future security clearance. Perpetuation of false narratives in order to affect an election or to subvert the agenda of a duly elected US official should carry a minimum 5 year prison sentence, with significantly more depending upon the nature of the subversion. Those are just for starters. I would also make it an imperative that any involvement of intelligence agency officials in politics be forbidden, punishable by immediate dismissal, loss of any pension earned, and possible prison. The intelligence agencies are supposed to work for us, not determine our government.
"I would just hope that this is not going to be a partisan issue. "Brennan told CNN's Wolf Blitzer at the Aspen Security Forum.[So says Jihad Johnnie, dripping in hypocrisy].

SEDITION!!!! He needs to be in PRISON!
Mueller is the only person standing between Brennon and treason charges.
And you Mr. Brennan should STFU.
It is frightening to me that these two are discussing this in a televised public forum.
Just like we have a congresscritter Gutierrez publicly calling for Trumps elimination.
They have no respect for the man or his office, and they have no fear of the law.
Sez the guy who voted for the Communist candidate for president in 1975..
