Former CIA Director Calls For A Coup If Trump Fires Mueller

In the most vocal opposition to president Donald Trump yet, former CIA Director John Brennan said that if the White House tries to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, government officials should refuse to follow the president orders, as they would be - in his view - “inconsistent” with the duties of the executive branch.

"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, effectively calling for a coup against the president should Trump give the order to fire Mueller.

Unless Meuller can describe in detail the alleged crime he's investigating, right now, he most certainly should be fired.

[Hondo69]

Would this be a new coup or the one that has been ongoing?

He's still looking and will be for the next couple of years.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Refusing to follow orders isn't necessarily a coup.

Agreed.

From the guy that installed his muslim prayer rug in CIA HQ.

Some of you pooh-pooh the idea of a "deep state" but I contend that Brennen is proof that it does exist.

To deny it exists is to defy common sense.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

What else would Trump supporters blame everything on? They need the Deep State to explain away all of Trump's many failings.

[driftdiver]

To deny it exists is to defy common sense.

Its the momentum of life long bureaucrats and politicians.   If you go to DC the sense of superiority is palpable.  You can sense on the planes into DC.  If there is a Senator or Congressman on the plane the asssmooching is rampant.

Yeah cause our govt was the epitomy of efficiency before Trump.

 

[Oceander]

Geez.  D.C., from Trump on down, and across all political lines, has become a confederacy of dunces playing with gasoline and matches.

Where did I imply that it was?

This is what Sessions needs to focus on, this kind of insubordination and sedition by guys like Brennan and his allies still in the intelligence community.

And Sessions needs to put a cutoff and parameters on Mueller. Endless investigations into the weeds shouldn't be allowed. Either provide evidence or stop fishing.

The way I understand it is that, unfortunately (deliberately?) Rosenstein didn't put any parameters on Mueller.  Therefore he is able to go wherever he pleases without reporting in or getting any more permission.

   That's the way I understand it also @Sanguine and it has recently been expanded to include his Financials, this is something he has protected at great lengths throughout his short political career, for some reason that I believe is beyond Audits or privacy.  I hope I'm wrong there is so much that needs to be done and Mueller is a dark cloud hanging over this Administration.

Probably deliberately. This is what the Dems want, a fount for endless manufactured scandals. They are trying to run out the clock.

Why anyone would pay any attention to some clown hiding behind the name Tyler Durden is beyond me.

DC is a surprisingly provincial place. I remember a bartender in Georgetown in 92 telling me that everyone he knew wanted Clinton to win because social life in the area had gotten stale after 12 years of Reagan/Bush. Helluva reason to want a change of leadership.

It's a pity Sessions recused himself and left the equation, isn't it?
