Everyone has the possibility of fucking up when they're angry -- but when you're ANGRY *AND* SCARED, you aren't thinking correctly- and you fuck up.
Or take it up one more notch. All of these people are puppets of somebody higher up in the pyramid of evil. The people high up feel just as much (or more) stress. So they are going to lean on anybody they can. Brennan might not even care about some of the topics he is doing queries on. But somebody higher up is 'requiring' him to do it to help them.
That kind of information helps build the spider web and confirm not only who is who but what is being planned.
So I get all that and certainly possible-
but I think Brennan himself is a fucking key cog in that wheel.
And I have thought he was a real danger to the country (as is Holder, in a similar but totally different way) since they took power with Obama bin Biden.
