“Once confirmed, she can do her job without these pearl-clutching, hand-wringers asking her stupid questions about the poor terrorists getting the feelings hurt.
Besides, who would you suggest Trump nominate who doesn’t have any issues you don’t approve of? “
Don’t forget that Trump has said, rightly, he didn’t mind waterboarding our ennemies. So for Gina Haspel to open her mouth to condemn it as if it was barbarism (it is NOT) is not only stupid policy-wise, it is a cheap shot directly at her prospective boss. Is such PC contrived disloyalty ok ? I don’t think so.
As to the nomination for the CIA head, Trump could have named many like Mike Pompeo, for example Chaffetz or Jim Jordan. Or even why not Gorka or Bongino. There are millions of people more eligible and hundred millions more honnest than Obama’s CIA head Brennan. Even a groundhog would fare better than Brennan.
I am not saying outright that Gina Haspel is unfit, I am just disgusted by her blatant disloyalty. Seeing how underwhelming (to stay polite) Wray and Sessions are, it’s quite possible for Trump to be misled by the swamp here again.
Trump has nominated this women to head the CIA and we should back him in that decision.
He's making these decisions. Not us.
Why would she reveal that waterboarding is now off the table?
