Durham To Interview James Clapper And John Brennan As He Expands Investigation; Brennan Wonders Why
[Right Scoop] CIA Director John Brennan testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, June 16, 2016, before the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on the Islamic State. Brennan said that the Islamic State remains "formidable" and "resilient," is training and attempting to deploy operatives for further attacks on the West and will rely more on guerrilla-style tactics to compensate for its territorial losses in the Middle East.

NBC News reported that Attorney General William Barr and Prosecutor John Durham have expanded their examination of the origins of the Trump/Russia investigation. Durham has increased the size of his staff and has pushed out his timeframe.

Durham will be interviewing former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper along with other current and former intelligence community officials. According to NBC:

While on the seldom discussed topic of accountability, would it be possible to begin the questioning by discussing intelligence failures which led to‎ Operation Gothic Serpent and ‎Battle of Mogadishu (Blackhawk Down), Khobar Towers, 9/11, the USS Cole, the Camp Chapman attack and suicide bomber Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, Benghazi, and Extortion-17 ?

Man can't open his mouth without recounting his achievements?

#5 Perhaps Durham will consider reaming Brennan with a Roto-Rooter as a part of his interview? Brennan was pitching for too many other teams.

#10 Someone should tell Brennan to do the honorable thing and leave him a pocket knife, he doesn't rate a pistol with one round. Only men get that.
