Yes, drinking with a renegade is on the list. [Or befriending one, rather. Drinking with one and enjoying the tête-a-tête is perfectly all right in the context of an intelligence gathering assignment, but drinking with a renegade because he enjoyed the company is not exactly proper for the head of the CIA. He takes a sip of brandy.]

They probably didn't know what to make of it. Why were you doing it anyway?
