Cross-examining Katie Brennan this morning, state Senator Kristin Corrado (R-40) supplied what one Trenton source identified as the quote of the day.

“And you consider these people your friends?” Corrado asked Brennan, when referring to those transition team contacts in Murphy world who evidently never conveyed the urgency and horror of her situation, as she testified – or did anything about it.

The veteran source described Brennan as deeply credible and consistent.

“The timeline will start to be the focus,” said the source. “There [are] troubling things here. Like finally telling the administration that charges may be coming and those charges being dropped within 24 hours.”

Another source, digesting the entirety of Brennan’s testimony to this point, added, “very troubling.”
