Or will she rather be a loyal caretaker as they fold the CIA (or what they keep of it) under military intelligence?

T Rex probably was not that enthusiastic about Trump’s new tariff stands.

Also, a lot of Clinton’s, Joan Kerry’s and Obama’s left wing POS’s are still in the State Department.

Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo can start pulling those weeds and prevent leaks in upcoming talks with the NORKs and trade talks with those involved in trade wars with us.

She has the credentials.
Let’s see how long it takes for the Left to scream about this ...”June 7, 2017 the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights called on the Public Prosecutor General of Germany to issue an arrest warrant against Haspel over claims she oversaw the torture of terrorism suspects. The complaint against her is centered on the case of Saudi national Abu Zubaydah”

My Dad was born in Texas, and he talk me how/when to know when Texans spew BS instead of reality.

This is a classic example:

“Unfortunately this shakeup won’t be a good look for POTUS, even if Pompeo ends up doing a good job.

If you are a Republican President ..almost anything is an impeachable offense.
Likewise, if you are a democrat ..no crime is to big that you do not get a pass.

They were probably too much alike, both being upper level businessmen. Tillerson was used to giving orders; not taking them. Too many ‘chiefs’ and not enough ‘Indians’ sort of thing.

Haspel was promoted by Brennan during the Obama years. Not a good sign.

If that’s true it’s a very BAD sign. We know what treasonus POS he is.

A little more from Fox...
A senior White House official told Fox News the president decided to make the change ahead of his planned meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

“The president wanted to make sure to have his new team in place in advance of the upcoming talks with North Korea and various ongoing trade negotiations,” the adviser said.

Senate confirmation is not required to put Pompeo in there in an acting capacity (because he is currently serving in a position that he was confirmed by the Senate for). But as I understand it, he will still need to be confirmed as SOS to make it permanent.

She likes to “torture” murderers. She’s got my vote. The confirmation hearings should be interesting. Libs hate her,

The secret prison in Thailand she was n charge of in 2002 - appointed by 43. Torture or body modification depends on ones point of view. Alan is at the bar...

Why talk about it though? Not very helpful.

Haspel is a career employee, not a political appointee.
I think her promotion today was out of expediency, to avoid Senate confirmation of a political appointee, and to avoid using a current member of the Cabinet who may be needed for a future lateral move (to replace Sessions?)

Same thing could be done for AG. Do it before Roseweasel and Mueller find a bullet.
