. . . something that implicates Brennan, maybe, or his former boss.

I'd bet they're called out somewhere in that report - probably in the sections they're busy blacking-out.

See how that works? We get an 'executive summary' that's been gone over by the principles under investigation with a veto over the info they object to publicizing.

We'll need another investigation just to tell the story of how this investigation was interfered with and obstructed. Seriously.

" . . . full confidence in Brennan." Is that a fact?
