John Brennan hopes 'individuals of conscience' will block Trump's declassification order

Former CIA Director John Brennan hopes "individuals of conscience" will stymie President Trump's order to declassify Justice Department and FBI documents related to the federal Russia investigation.

"A number of individuals are trying to protect Mr. Trump and abusing their authorities and their powers, whether it be in Congress or within the executive branch," Brennan said Tuesday during an interview with MSNBC.

"And this is something that I am hoping that individuals of conscience are going to stop and prevent because I am concerned that this is just one indication that Mr. Trump is going to increasingly look for steps to take in order to further try to subvert the Mueller investigation," Brennan continued, referring to the special counsel's inquiry.

Trump on Monday ordered the DOJ, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to declassify key materials to the Russia probe, including pages from the June 2017 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant application to gather information on former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page, as well as text messages from current and former officials, including fired FBI Director James Comey.

Of course he does!  He knows that what's in those documents will tear his cabal to shreds!

"Individuals of conscience?" WTH does that even mean?

The law is the law. If it is lawful to declassify these documents, it's within the President's right to do so. Trump is the head of the Executive, i.e. the boss.

If the underlings choose to go insubordinate on a lawful order, fire them and have them replaced. Prosecute as necessary.

We have Separation of Church and State in this country according to the liberals, so you don't get to apply your particular morality to a situation as you see fit.
