The White House is ramping up an 11th-hour effort to build support for President Trumps pick to lead the CIA, just days before she is scheduled to face a grilling from the Senate Intelligence Committee over her role in the agencys controversial detention and interrogation program.
For weeks, the CIA has led the charge on promoting now-deputy director Gina Haspela forward-leaning PR campaign that some critics have said is inappropriate for the clandestine agency.
Only late last week did the White House stand up the kind of broad-based press campaign typical of other high-stakes nominations, issuing a swath of laudatory press releases and briefing reporters.

Bring back waterboarding, shock therapy and other cool torture stuff to destroy our enemies..
They’re gonna try to force her to commit to no “torture” broadly defined. She should tell them to GTH
Our enemies are within our gates
Would she be the first woman in that position?
Indict and imprison hillary.
She not only would be the first woman, she would be the first Director promoted from within
>> the first woman in that position
Sexist pig.
“Bring back waterboarding, shock therapy and other cool torture stuff to destroy our enemies..”
That’s gonna backfire
With Brennan, Clapper, etc. liking her, I wish Trump would pick a swamp drainer like Tony Schaeffer.
Should be interesting. There is so much debauchery in Congress. It’s a wonder our beloved President accomplishes what he does, in spite of them all.
If DJT wants her to be the director, then I hope he is successful. God give her strength as she runs the Congressional gauntlet (that IS what is seems like!).
Great, MORE "winning"...
Confirm this tough lady NOW. After what Dan Bongnino and Joe DiGenova revealed about the CIA/FBI and State Depart. operating “Deep State” anti-Trump coup projects, we need to clean the Intelligence Community houses with dynamite and RDX.
If both men are correct, Clapper, Brennan, Mueller, Comey and Nuland & Winer at (State Dept) ran intell ops against Pres. Trump in a two-pronged protect Hillary Clinton and criminal family during the elections while trying to take down Trump even after he was elected president.
They were on Mark Levin’s Fox Show tonight, “Life, Levin and Liberty”.
Again, if what these two men said is true, a “REAL” congressional investigation and FBI I.G. investigation could bring down the whole Clinton/Democrat Party/Comey-Mueller-Brennan-Clapper and Nuland-Winer traitorous cabals.
Usually I don’t get overly excited about what people say on TV but both men were well placed to know “things”, amongst which they mentioned Soviet/Russian plots against the US, aided and abetted by the Clintons/Democrats and US Intell leaders (against Trump). This was especially true in the “business” intelligence operations arena (Tenex, Uranium One, and a shitload more of Russian business penetration ops).
If what I mentioned above from the show is true, then it has not just opened a can of worms or Pandora’s Box (of the Anti-Trump Left), but is can blow the top off the mountain of treason that they have been perpetrating for years against the US and now Pres. Trump.
I smell a lot of rats, Big Red Rats, Small Red Rats, traitors, politically vain and ambitious Intell traitors, the corruption of the whole Democrat Party (Dossiergate, BleachBit Gate, Clinton Foundation-gate, and John Fucking Kerrygate. Kerry may go all the way back to the 1980’s when he was supporting communist dictatorships and movements in Latin America, a can of red worms the size of Texas if you know where to look.
Kerry never stopped being a politically ambitious traitor to America and our allies since his first meetings with the Vietnamese communists in Paris in 1970 and onward. Rip open his hidden ops and you’ll find more treason than you could imagine, esp. during the so-called Irangate-Contragate hearings and investigations.
He’s back at it against re Iran and we cannot let him succeed again with his traitorous activities. I suspect that there are intell people still alive who want to tell their stories about Kerry, under oath. If they can, it will be his death sentence as a Democrat Party political leader and could reveal his others acts against the U.S.
I have an itch that won’t stop and it is getting bigger than anything I’ve felt in decades. Pray that Bongnino and Digenova are accurate in what they said on the Mark Levin TV show on Fox.
If so, they have pried the top off of the biggest internal acts of treason since the Rosenberg/Sobell trials of the 1950’s. In fact, it could ber bigger by a factor of 100.
Everything I’ve learned from Intelligence classes in school, learning from the best in the field, to actual field work over the past 50 years says “TREASON, TREASON, TREASON” by the Democrats and their Russian puppetmasters.
Jonathan M. Winer, a Washington lawyer and consultant, is a former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement and former special envoy for Libya.

Jonathan M. Winer is a lawyer, consultant, and diplomat who served as the State Departments first Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Law Enforcement from 1994-1999 during the Clinton Administration, and until January 2017 as the U.S. Special Envoy for Libya in the Obama Administration. Previously, he was Counsel to Senator John Kerry from 1995-1994 [s/b "1985-1994"], during which he participated in the earliest Congressional investigations into Iran-Contra, money laundering in Latin America, and the global criminal network of the worlds the dirtiest bank, BCCI.

#ad#Kerry gained further fame or infamy, depending on your point of view as head of the Kerry Committee, more formally the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Operations. In this period the late 1980s Kerry devoted himself to trying to prove that the Contras were drug-runners; he was particularly interested in linking Vice President Bush to this criminality (as Bush was running for president). The Kerry Committee never accomplished its objective, but it attracted a lot of media attention and damaged individual reputations. On this committee, all the hopes, energies, and notions of IPS, the Christic Institute, CISPES, and the rest of that now-forgotten crowd came together.
Leading the charge were Kerrys staff men, such as Jonathan Winer (still a Kerry foreign-policy adviser) and the notorious Jack Blum. This latter is considered by some Republicans a sort of Roy Cohn of the Left. One GOP aide from the period describes Kerrys people as drooling fanatics: Kennedys people were liberal, to be sure, and so were Dodds. But Kerrys people were much more rabid. They promoted the most bizarre conspiracy theories around. You have to remember, says this aide: There was a real fruity network of goofball and semi-subversive people, and Kerry ran with those people. He was always a bit aloof himself, but you can tell a lot about politicians by the people they let in. These werent liberals. They had a shockingly hostile attitude toward the United States our military, our intelligence community, our policies.

As Winer tells it, he and Steele were old pals. They met and became friends in 2009, when both were in the business of selling business intelligence, much of it involving Russia. Winer went back to work at State in 2013, after his old Capitol Hill boss, John Kerry, had become secretary of State. But he didnt lose track of his friend Steelenot at all. He shared, and shared, and shared Steeles corporate intelligence work with the State Departments Russia desk. Over the next two years, I shared more than 100 of Steeles reports with the Russia experts at the State Department, who continued to find them useful. (Lets not speculate about how much it may have been worth to Steele to be able to tell his clients that the materials they were paying for were being regularly consumed by policy-makers in Foggy Bottom.)
Come the summer of 2016, Steeles prime client was the campaign of Hillary Clinton, by way of the hired-guns at Fusion GPS, for whom he was assembling a grab bag of Trump tales from some sort of Russian sources. Come the fall Steele was spreading dossier info to various news organizations, the FBI, and the State Department. In September 2016, Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the dossier. Heres where it starts getting particularly weird: I was allowed to review, but not to keep, a copy of these reports to enable me to alert the State Department, Winer writes. I prepared a two-page summary and shared it with [Winers boss at State, Victoria] Nuland. I doubt Im the only one who finds this bit of peekaboo passing strange. . .

Nice sleuthing.....the Deep State gets even deeper. The Clintons are filthy scum.
Nice rope-a-dope over the weekend leading the lamestream media to believe that they had taken her down.
When it comes to dealing with liberals, I’m for bringing back the rack - and every other Medieval torture device.
