Were Pompeo and/or Haskell or Wray briefed on the hideous Brennan decision?

Been away from the computer some hours.

Have not seen anything on their opinions. Do they care? They should IMO.

So I think you can conclude the CIA director wasn't, but I have not yet seen an article that explicitly includes her by name as a person who was not consulted.
