Former CIA director defends top FBI officials amid Trump attacks

Source: The Hill

Former CIA Director John Brennan came to the defense of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and top FBI lawyer James Baker on Saturday after President Trump launched a slew of attacks against McCabe on Twitter.

"Andy McCabe & Jim Baker epitomize integrity, competence, and respect for rule of law. Not surprised @realDonaldTrump fears them, along with the rest of FBI. I just donated to @FBIAgentsAssoc as a small way of saying #thanksFBI," Brennan tweeted, along with a link explaining how to donate to the association.
