She wanted Haspel to recuse herself from decisions about the declassification of her own career.

And she’s a covert agent.

She steadfastly held that she stood by the declassification rules used by the CIA.

She wasn’t a front office puke. She was an operator on the front lines.

Same here. If terrorists have a WMD and one of their cell gets captured, I’d take any punishment for breaking rules to save American lives.

Is there a committee among senators to condemn and punish them for making such a statement?

“He was suggesting she traded sex for her CIA nomination, wasn’t he?”

My first take was that Reed was dropping an innuendo that Trump is trying to grab everything that moves. Either way, Reed was ready with the cover that he’s only concerned with Trump’s alleged focus on “loyalty oaths,” evoking the e-vile Sen. Joe McCarthy. Next up is the projection that there is a Trumpian witch list to drive devoted federal workers out of their jobs. The dems are snakes.

“How many skeletons are in Reed’s closer?”

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it, ridicule it.

You got that right!

And note that in the entire exchange she never answered the questions that he asked. Read the transcript again or watch the video. She very deftly gives the distinguished Senator answers and not one of the answers cover what he asked. I love it.

My sense, too, that he was suggesting she traded sex for CIA appointment.

But, he had the “loyalty” thing to fall back on.

A real snake.

Jesus said pray for your enemies. That way God puts His eyes on them and messes up what they are doing!

Wow-if she is a Democrat she might want to rethink it. She has been treated very badly by them. I watched her face as
Kamala( the woman who would be President) was berating her with her “yes or no” questions, and she showed remarkable restraint.

Reed was once alone with the President, who refused Reed’s sexual advances and kicked him out of the oval office. Obama, however, got it on with him. Good grief, Charlie Brown.

I hear that - would be interesting to know what sort of sexual skeletons are lurking in Reed's closet. If he's been proclaimed as a "defender of women" then him being a lecher is a certainty.

Don’t worry, Kamala isn’t ready for the big show, I saw her on interviews - she is too goofy to handle Trump.

Reed: There have been allegations—Mr. Comey, one—that while he was alone the president asked for a personal pledge of loyalty

So? There have been allegations, Senator Reed, that you molest cub scouts. Until these allegations are proven they really don't matter do they?

“Sen. Reed, if you had a wife, would you stop beating her?”

(Do liberals get Brownie Points for the degree of insanity of their hypothetical questions or only for the quantity? )
