#Durham Late Friday, former senior advisor to CIA Director Brennan released a statement that Brennan was interviewed for 8 hours + told “he is not a subject or a target of a criminal investigation + that he is only a witness to events that are under review.” Earlier this week, I
highlighted the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on 2016 Russian election interference, the debate between CIA + FBI over inclusion of the unverified Steele dossier + Brennan’s 2017 testimony. In December 2019, IG Horowitz concluded “limited information” from the dossier 
was included in the ICA appendix. The Friday night statement also appears to take aim at the scope + legitimacy of the DOJ Durham probe. “Brennan questioned why the analytic tradecraft and the findings of the ICA are being scrutinized by the Department of Justice, especially...
since they have been validated by the Mueller Report as well as the bipartisan Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Review. Brennan also told Mr. Durham that the repeated efforts of Donald Trump and William Barr to politicize Mr. Durham's work have been appalling and
have tarnished the independence and integrity of the Department of Justice, making it very difficult for Department of Justice professionals to carry out their responsibilities.” READ IG Horowitz Chapter Six: executive summary page X + revisit Brennan’s 2017 testimony. @CBSNews
