Top Senate Republicans are signaling support for keeping Director Gina Haspel atop the CIA amid speculation that President Trump could fire her out of frustration about some of her decisions related to the Russia investigation.
Speculation about Haspel's future has reached a fever pitch amid concerns in Washington that the ousting of Defense Secretary Mark Esper could foretell a larger post-election shakeup.
But top GOP senators are signaling that they don't think there's a reason for Trump to fire Haspel, outside of his own personal preference.
"Not that I'm aware of, other than you know the president would want somebody else. ... If I'm asked my opinion, I think she's done a great job," said Senate Intelligence Committee acting Chairman Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) when asked if he thought there was a reason to fire her.
Rubio, who caveated that the decision was ultimately up to Trump, added that "she's done a very good job" and that it would be good for the "stability of the agency" for her to remain.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and an adviser to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), indicated that he did not think Haspel should be fired.
"I believe both of them are good public servants and done a good job for the country," Cornyn said when asked if Haspel and FBI Director Christopher Wray should stay in place.

All the more reason she needs to be fired.
Freakin foam boy
‘
Rubio said that Russian Activities of Trump were very real and very concerning, he claimed he saw info on the Intelligence Committee that he wasn’t at liberty to share, but trust him, it’s real.
He Lied.
And his Republican Senate buds took over four years to bring the Central witnesses.
‘
If Trump is re-elected after all this coup voting fraud BS, Trump needs to drop bombs all over the place and CLEAN FRAKIN’ HOUSE...and Haspel should be on that list of those getting axed, she is not trustworthy, imho.
‘
So, I guess we can take away that the Senate Republicans actually wanted Haspel to withhold those Docs from them.
Remember, Graham said he was going to meet with Barr over his concerns about Biden being investigated.
.
alleged “top Republicans”
That explains her visit to McConnell’s office today; to plead for his intervention. Hopefully he told her to get bent.
Smoked out some of the coup supporters. Haspel and Wray are part of Deep State. They are covering up information.
We need a list of what Haspel has done and hasn’t done as the director of the CIA regarding past treason by Clapper and Brennan.
Has she cleaned house of Brennan’s Deep State members or let them slide or stay in place?
He she questioned under oath, every CIA official who had a hand in “the Steele Dossier” case, ‘Crossfire Hurricane’, Hillary’s deals with Russia on Uraniumgate, Bill’s speech payment from his Moscow engagement, the role of the Clinton Foundation and Global Initiative in laundering Russian money and people in and thru the US, etc?
The same goes for the Biden Family Criminal Syndicate re Red Chinese and other countries bribery for access, offshore Biden bank accounts, esp. for Red Chinese money, Red Chinese espionage in the US, businesses, schools, etc., and financial ties by Biden/Clinton associates with Red China (and Russia), etc.
What about Antifa’s ties to foreign groups of the same ideology, esp. in Germany, as well as is foreign money helping their operations? Have antifa leaders travelled to foreign and/or hostile countries for advise, training, funding, etc, just like the Communist Party/Cuban DGI/KGB did for SDSers and other radicals thru the Venceremos Brigades to Cuba?
How about American leftists contacts with Hugo Chavez and now the Russian’s top So. American red pet, Maduro?
Morales just got elected back into some national form of power in Bolivia. Is the CIA keeping an eye on the revival of the “Marxist Axis of Evil” for South and Central America (Bolivia, Venezuela, possibly Ecuador, Nicaragua and maybe even Chile or Uruguay - some Red Chinese ops going on there).
She looks old she should retire
The article says the visit to McConnell’s ogffice was interpreted as a show of support by McConnell.
The Hammer & Sickle voter swap software came out of the CIA.
Wonder who authorized THAT???
I got called into the Principal's office many times, and it was never for a show of support.
‘
Just like Graham went around the Executive branch to lobby Barr to protect Biden, ... Haspel has probably been lobbied by powerful members of the Senate to withhold information that would expose them.
A lot of people talking to Russian Oligarchs and lying to Cameras.
Ahhhhh the hell with that low life Haspel. Shitcan her I say. It’sthe USMC bithday. Cut us a huss and give us a gift Don. Unless she will publically and literally kiss your feet. Like you great big size 10.6 Florshiem. If she won’t get an Eagle Globe an Anchor tatooed on her hip, she ain’y worth messing with. Natch...
Yank her leash. Another glorious day in the history of the corps.
