During Tuesday's edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports, the eponymous host interviewed Former CIA Director and NBC News National Security Analyst John Brennan, who obviously criticized the President's order to release "highly classified documents" related to the Trump-Russia probe.  Mitchell suggested that "the DNI and the top officials would not be welcoming this move" and asked Brennan "should they be obeying it, should they be protesting it, some people have said some people should be resigning in protest?"  Brennan suggested that the top officials "should push back against any directive that is going to have negative impact on our capabilities as well as the investigation. So I think they should continue to push, push, push, if Mr. Trump and the White House does not relent, well then I think they are going to have some decisions to make, whether or not they are going to just not follow that direction and to be fired or to resign."
