My only question on all of this is -

If you get Jay Rockafeller kicked off, you know darn well he would be replaced by Hilary Clinton. Who would you rather have? A wounded head hung Rockafeller or the hildebeast?

There's no way - she doesn't come close to having the seniority to be on that committee. I can't see that happening...

I don't think she could be. The rules of that committee's membersip are strict:

Sec. 2. (a)(1) There is hereby established a select
committee to be known as the Select Committee on Intelligence
(hereinafter in this resolution referred to as the ``select
committee''). The select committee shall be composed of
fifteen members appointed as follows:
(A) two members from the Committee on Appropriations;
(B) two members from the Committee on Armed Services;
(C) two members from the Committee on Foreign Relations;
(D) two members from the Committee on the Judiciary; and
(E) seven members to be appointed from the Senate at large.

I'm not sure she could be ON the committee, let alone ranking Dem.

More:

Sec. 2(a)(2)
Members appointed from each committee named in clauses
(A) through (D) of paragraph (1) shall be evenly divided
between the two major political parties and shall be
appointed by the President pro tempore of the Senate upon the
recommendations of the majority and minority leaders of the
Senate. Four of the members appointed under clause (E) of
paragraph (1) shall be appointed by the President pro tempore
of the Senate upon the recommendation of the majority leader
of the Senate and three shall be appointed by the President
pro tempore of the Senate upon the recommendation of the
minority leader of the Senate.
