Washington (CNN)South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham announced Thursday he would vote "yes" for Gina Haspel to be CIA director, bucking the request of one of his closest friends in Congress, Sen. John McCain, who opposes Haspel's nomination.
"I intend to support Gina Haspel to serve as the first female Director of the CIA," Graham said in his statement. "Ms. Haspel has rejected the interrogation policies of the past. She is fully committed to following the law that prevents future abuses. This law, among others, includes the Detainee Treatment Act which I helped author. Gina Haspel should be confirmed as soon as possible as we live in a time of continuing threats."
McCain released a statement Wednesday evening asking senators to vote against Haspel because of her involvement in the George W. Bush administration's interrogation program after 9/11. McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, cited her refusal in testimony to acknowledge "torture's immorality."
"I believe Gina Haspel is a patriot who loves our country and has devoted her professional life to its service and defense," the Arizona Republican said in the statement.

What is it with these guys? They’re the most hawkish guys in Congress when it comes to military interventions where thousands will be killed or have their legs blown off, but waterboarding a terrorist or keeping him up with loud music is just too violent for them.
McSongbird says torture doesn't work, must mean except for him cause he sure talked
No one has seen McCain in public for months, and there are indications that the end is near. Suddenly, McCain seems to have a lot to say in the past week or so - he doesn’t want President Trump at his funeral, he’s opposed to Gina Haspel’s nomination for CIA Director, he wants to pick his own successor, etc. Is there any video or audio record of him actually saying these things? I wonder who it really is that has taken it upon themselves to act as the voice of John McCain.
Give him the Scalia treatment.
It’s no different than libs who are against the death penalty, but are pro-abortion. It makes no sense at all.
Power is a fleeting thing. Even lovers leave when there is nothing more to be gained.
Makes sense. What else can a lover do when they lose their one and only?

Now that there made me laugh.
A TIMELINE OF TREASON on Profile Page
Graham was opposed to McCain on the healthcare thing as well as being critical of the Russia investigation by calling for a second special counsel. It could be that Graham has grown to like Trump or that Graham realizes that he has a primary coming up in 2020 and is in need of Trump’s support.
When do they vote??
I seem to recall reading an item here on FR a week or so ago that said he was to be buried at the National Cemetery in AZ.
They don’t love you any more John - when you stopped showing up they forgot who used to warm up that vacant seat...
