John Brennan: If Republicans Win Midterms, ‘There’s Going To Be Quite Serious Doubt that They Won Fairly’

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: “This is very, very worrisome, Nicolle, because, as you point out, the executive Branch and the president has tremendous authority to exert the full weight and influence of the executive Branch. And he’s clearly trying to do that, not just in terms of manipulation of the perceptions of reality, but also using the instruments of governance. And so, the next four months, I can clearly see that Donald Trump is going to do everything in his power, and beyond that, to be able to affect the outcome of the election. And so, there is really a question about, in light of what he is doing and how he is putting both thumbs and the rest of his fingers on the scale, whether or not that outcome can be trusted. You asked before, what happens if the Republicans win? Well, I think there’s going to be quite serious doubt that they won fairly just because of what he has done. And it’s similar what’s happening with the Department of Justice.”
