If the massively misdirected Trump-Russia investigation were to have a name, “Spygate” would be as good as any. If Spygate had a mastermind, it would be John Brennan, the most partisan CIA director in the agency’s history.
If the report prepared by Special Counsel John Durham has a hole in its center, it is the hole that Brennan should have filled. Brennan appears to have conned his way up and out. By “voluntarily” making himself available for interviews with Durham, Brennan was able to deflect blame on to those who refused. The refuseniks include the former FBI personnel at the heart of the scandal – James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Bill Priestap and convicted FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith.
