What makes you think Trump didn’t give him a deal in return for his hanging in and endorsing Barr’s early work here?
I actually expect him to skate because of a deal.
Excusing acts of war in exchange for convenience would be very disrespectful to those who've sacrificed (dearly) toward the war effort.
RR couldn't give up anything valuable toward a deal, as MI and PDJT already had it all.
One might think a full debrief being mentioned in the context of being allowed to resign is a quid pro quo, but the consequences of that would have nothing to do with any hoped-for change to any potential indictments. The latter would indeed be "where the action is."
We can all just keep watching to see whether your theory is correct. No one can predict the future, but Brennan, recipient of the best intel in the world, has been particularly bad at that, particularly of late. That will happen to people who are stupid, cheer on traitors, and think they don't need to reckon with G-d.
