Demwits already bitching about her. Claimed she “tortured terrorists.” Oh, how terrible! //
Gina is a great choice. The Libs hate her because she ran a black site in Thailand during the early 2000’s. Smart and very capable woman.
Tillerson out, Pompeo in. A woman to head CIA.
The liberals will have their panties in a twist!
Oh Geeez, I see it coming, CNN will report her as, “The Ilse Koch” of the Trump organization. s/
How is this possible? I thought Trump hated women.
In the same breath, they call it an all male administration.
Everyone knows Irene Kennedy was the first female head of the CIA.
A year ago the left was lamenting the appointment of Haspel to Deputy Director...calling it a raised middle finder from CIA.
First female “M”. Take that Hillary!
But...but....Hillary said that Donald hates successful women.
Hopefully she can handle the current Marxist take over of the CIA. As has happened to the FBI and many government agencies under Obamey
The Carrie Mathison of real life. Hope she isn’t bipolar. Kick ass!
Yo.
Trump just placed the former head of the CIA in charge of State, to personally go through Cankles’ files.

MAGA! Trump is replacing Obama’s effete metero-cowards with ass-kickers!
Ah ,here’s your Female 007
She appears to be one tough woman..
Per Wiki:
Haspel ran a “black site” CIA prison located in Thailand in 2002.[5][6] The site was codenamed “Cat’s Eye” and held suspected al Qaeda members Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri and Abu Zubaydah for a time. The Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture specifies that during their detention at the site they were waterboarded and interrogated using no longer authorized methods.[7][8] Declassified CIA cables specify that Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times in a month, was sleep deprived, kept in a “large box”, had his head slammed against a wall and he lost his left eye. Zubaydah was deemed, by the CIA interrogators, to not be in possession of any useful intelligence (Interrogation of Abu Zubaydah).[9]
Haspel later was the chief of staff to Jose Rodriguez, who headed the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center. In his memoir, Rodriguez wrote that Haspel had “drafted a cable” in 2005 ordering the destruction of dozens of videotapes made at the black site in Thailand.[8]
In 2013, John Brennan, then the director of Central Intelligence, named Haspel as acting Deputy Director of the National Clandestine Service, which carries out covert operations around the globe.[10] However, she was denied the position permanently due to criticism about her involvement in the Rendition, Detention and Interrogation program.[11] Haspel has also served as the Deputy Director of the National Clandestine Service for Foreign Intelligence and Covert Action.[5]
Haspel is the recipient of the George H. W. Bush Award for excellence in counterterrorism, the Donovan Award, the Intelligence Medal of Merit and the Presidential Rank Award.[1]
On February 2, 2017, President Donald Trump appointed Haspel deputy director of the CIA. On February 8, 2017, several members of the Senate intelligence committee urged Trump to reconsider his appointment of Haspel as Deputy Director.[12] Senator Sheldon Whitehouse quoted colleagues Ron Wyden and Martin Heinrich who were on the committee:
I am especially concerned by reports that this individual was involved in the unauthorized destruction of CIA interrogation videotapes, which documented the CIA’s use of torture against two CIA detainees. My colleagues Senators Wyden and Heinrich have stated that classified information details why the newly appointed Deputy Director is ‘unsuitable’ for the position and have requested that this information be declassified. I join their request.
On February 15, 2017, Spencer Ackerman reported on psychologists Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell, the architects of the enhanced interrogation program that was designed to break Zubaydah and was subsequently used on other detainees at the CIA’s secret prisons around the world. Jessen and Mitchell are being sued by Sulaiman Abdulla Salim, Mohamed Ahmed Ben Soud, and Obaid Ullah over torture designed by the psychologists. Jessen and Mitchell are seeking to compel Haspel, and her colleague James Cotsana, to testify on their behalf.[13][14]
On March 13, 2018, President Donald J. Trump announced via Twitter that he will nominate Haspel to be the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, which would make her the first female CIA director.[15]

Just walked by the lobby of my office which always has CNN on.
They were too busy talking about Stormy Daniels to talk about Gina Haspel. Priorities.
So this whole Democrat façade of “wymen pwr” is just a political ruse, huh? Women voted for Trump because their husbands told them too, but Haspel can’t be CIA director.
With Democrats the narrative is always a façade. Democrats are only about one thing — power and control.
Good move .....
