Robert Mueller represented the gold standard of selfless public service. His integrity, honesty, humility, & competence were deeply admired and respected throughout the government. It was a great honor & a privilege to work with him. Sincerest condolences to Ann & the Mueller family.

Kamala Harris for President!

Our future prosperity, security, global leadership, & national decency depend on her election.

Let’s make it happen. Vote Harris/Walz!

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

President Biden’s love of country, decency, & wisdom have never been on greater display. An outstanding POTUS & lifelong public servant, he is doing his absolute best to ensure that Donald Trump never again wields presidential authorities. We are all forever in his debt.

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

Good people in democracies need a more effective way to prevent attention-craving, emotionally immature, & highly devious individuals, esp those of means, from being socially, culturally, & politically destructive.

We certainly seem to have far too many of them lately.

Dr. Fauci is a national hero who will be remembered for generations to come for his innate goodness & many contributions to public health

Despite your business success, you will be remembered most for fueling public hate & divisions.

You may have money, but you have no class.

A wonderful day in our nation’s history.

The “Respect for Marriage Act” makes the concept of equal opportunity under the law a reality for millions of Americans. 🏳️‍🌈

May Congress show such fortitude on all issues fundamental to American values.

BG’s release icing on the cake.

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

By voting against “The Respect for Marriage Act,” 37 Republican Senators pander to the most regressive, close-minded, & bigoted elements of American society.

The bulk of the GOP is truly broken.

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

Sheer lunacy fueled by pathological delusions of grandeur.

Anyone still supporting this guy should seek immediate psychiatric counseling.

. @liz_Cheney, @RepSpanberger, @ElissaSlotkin, @RepElaineLuria—individuals with the tenacity, integrity, intellect, & courage that the overwhelming majority of Republicans lack.

They epitomize what it means to be public servants dedicated to doing good. https://t.co/lwjDWFSHp8

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

This is tragic news.

America has lost a dedicated public servant, a brilliant mind, & an exceptional leader in the national security & defense realms.

Like other narcissistic autocrats, MBS has no moral compass, no sense of global responsibility. His decision making calculus considers only his own narrow self interests.

US policy toward Saudi Arabia must be adjusted accordingly. https://t.co/iwzSFLMXhw

It was a privilege to spend an hour with three of the most preeminent legal minds in our country discussing the implications of Trump’s flagrant mishandling of government documents.

[Harry Litman @harrylitman]

And here you have it -- by popular demand, an entire hour with @AWeissmann_ @JohnBrennan & @GeorgetownICAP #MaryMcCord on both sides of the mess Trump has wrought in Mar-A-Lago.If I say so myself, it's the richest and most informative discussion out there. https://t.co/uvJO1cUpxb

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

This is what leadership is all about.

Doing what is best for all Americans, all the time, irrespective of politics.

This morning, I spoke with Governor Ron DeSantis to discuss the steps we're taking to support Florida in response to Hurricane Ian.

I've also directed FEMA Administrator Criswell to travel to Florida tomorrow to check in on response and survey where additional support is needed.

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

Russia is now a deeply riven nation.

Unclear whether domestic opposition to war in Ukraine & national mobilization will hurry the end of Putin’s evil reign.

An encouraging indicator would be if Russian security forces balk at bloodily suppressing dissent. Let’s hope.

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

Totally unsurprising.

Still shocking how many Americans will continue to support this lifelong, grifting charlatan.

Republican members of Congress & in State governments who remain on the Trump train are undeserving of the public’s trust-vote them out. https://t.co/wdDn3eAZy3

Queen Elizabeth was a remarkable person who made an indelible imprint on world history.

Her extraordinary life was an exemplar of selfless service, quiet dignity, and personal integrity.

May she rest in eternal peace.

Mikhail Gorbachev personified bold & courageous leadership by recognizing that the Soviet system was morally bankrupt & fatally flawed. He was a noble statesman & a compassionate human being.

In other words, he was everything that Vladimir Putin is not.

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

I strongly suspect that the release of even a heavily redacted version of the affidavit will show:

1) a strong national security imperative for the retrieval of documents illegally retained & stored at Mar-a-Lago

2) the reckless irresponsibility & deceit of Donald Trump Inc.

[MS NOW @MSNOWNews]

BREAKING: Judge orders that a redacted version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit be made public by noon on Friday. https://t.co/m0LDBfMJvM

[John O. Brennan @JohnBrennan]

DOJ & FBI are the bedrocks of law and order in the United States. Their professionals as well as the current leadership of both organizations deserve our trust, confidence, and respect.

Attempts to impugn their integrity are acts of desperation by those who fear the truth.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday moved to unseal the search warrant used in the search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and said he personally approved of the decision to execute the warrant. https://t.co/B3xYUPzbVl

I have had profound policy differences with former VP Dick Cheney in the past, but I wholeheartedly agree with him on the seriousness of the threat posed by Donald Trump.

More Republicans, including former senior USG officials, need to speak up.
