Fusion Ken Dilanian: Brennan Has Agreed to be Interviewed By Durham, but Clapper Has Been Told Durham Doesn't Need to Talk to Him

FusionGPS' second-favorite shill*, Ken Dilanian, tweeted:

Ken Dilanian @KenDilanianNBC Brennan has agreed to be interviewed by Durham, while Clapper has been told Durham doesn't need to talk to him.

So: Clapper did in fact leak, probably as a secondary source, the classified briefing given to Trump on January 5, 2017, a briefing given with the purpose of being leaked.

Why isn't he being interviewed, then?

Some possiblities:

1. Clapper knew he was caught out (a strong witness knew he'd leaked illegally) and has been cooperating for a while already.

2. Clapper is a target of the investigation, and I'm pretty darn sure that if you're a target of an investigation, and not a Republican, a prosecutor is required to mirandize you before an interview and alert you of your legal peril.

And maybe Durham isn't ready to so alert Clapper yet.

3. Durham's covering everything up and fuck it, Nothing Matters.

* After Fusion Nat Bertrand.
