#1 Apparently clear of legal jeopardy, Brennan took aim at the premise of the inquiry.

So Brennan ends up grilling Durham on Brennan's own turf and real locus of power. Nice, very nice. Hat tip to host Director Gina Haspel and Durham for the thrilling, closed session softball game.

Looks like the big one just got away, as has been predicted here for three years or so. Obama and Biden walked to home plate and scored runs. Both were met with raucous cheering and 'high fives' in the Deep State dugout.

#3 Of course Brennan was going to quickly spin this. Let's see how it goes - anything out of his or his spokeshole's mouth is a lie by definition and character

#6  Brennan also declared he confronted Durham about the politicization of his efforts.

Really good lawyers and investigators listen a lot more than they talk, hoping the person being interviewed will reveal useful information of his own free will. Brennan’s confronting, in this context, may well have been exactly what U.S. Attorney John Durham was hoping for from the man not currently under criminal investigation.

#8 It doesn't take 8 hours to tell someone he's not a target of an investigation. I call B.S.

#9 We know that Brennan is a liar so, yeah, let's wait and see. It's not October yet.

#10 The photo of Brennan with that scowl is an absolute beauty.

#11 Brennan spend 8 hours telling Durham what Brennan's friends in CIA can do to him?

#12 Not a scowl, that’s his resting face.
