Brennan said the attorney general's behavior suggests 'he is acting as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer.'
Former CIA Director John Brennan has lauded special counsel Robert Mueller for being able to rise above the “sickness” taking hold of American politics, suggesting his bravery may well guide the country’s future direction.
The Washington Post revealed Tuesday that Mueller wrote to Barr stating the initial summary did not “capture the context, nature, and substance” of his full report. Mueller spokesperson Kerri Kupec said the special counsel reaffirmed his grievances in a follow-up call with Barr, noting the memo’s “lack of context and the resulting media coverage.”
— Morning Joe May 1, 2019 For Brennan, Mueller’s action was admirable, but illustrated how weak Republicans have become under Trump. “I’m not surprised at all that craven politicians like Lindsey Graham continue to give Donald Trump a pass, but I am surprised that not more Republicans are coming and speaking out,” he said.
