CIA Director Gina Haspel Announces Resignation
Forbes ^ | 19 Jan 21 | Jemima McEvoy

Posted on 01/19/2021 11:25:33 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

CIA Director Gina Haspel, who has had an increasingly strained relationship with President Trump during the final year of his administration, announced Tuesday that she is leaving the agency.

Haspel did not articulate the reason for her departure, which comes on the last full day of Trump’s presidency, though Axios reported last week that she had threatened to resign in early December when Trump sought to install Kash Patel, a Trump loyalist and former aide to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) as her deputy.

According to Axios, Trump “spent his last year in office ruminating over Haspel,” while many of his allies echoed the president’s doubts about her loyalty.

Haspel was confirmed as the first female director of the CIA in May 2018.

“That’s interesting. McInerney is saying she never made it back from Germany?”

She came back on flight 370.

Why bother? I’m sure Biden would love to have her onboard.

It makes you wonder. Was she asked by Biden to step down?

What she has done is allow an enemy of the state, to place
his henchman in the leadership of one of our premier spy
agencies.

It’s almost breathtaking to watch this nation get taken down
like this.

Trump should have hired her months ago in some capacity with top clearance

Biden named his CIA Director nominee some weeks ago. Haspel has threatened to resign on a couple of occasions. No surprise in this at all.

Biden named his CIA pick a couple of weeks ago. It's William Burns.

Is Biden (Harris) bringing Brennan back in?

Or is he going to ‘cut out the middleman’ and make some high level Chinese spy master CIA Director?

“President Donald Trump has many accomplishes that I won’t list here (voluminous). But, the best accomplishment is that he exposed the deep state, rino Pubbies, and the corrupt corporate Media.”

Yes he accomplished a lot

with both hands tied behind his back

the deep state ws in control, holding him back

To the same degree, the ds will let biden do whatever they want him to do to destroy the USA

It will be a disaster

Syncro :" Joes first 6 months will be chaos and disaster "

They are going to print larger on the teleprompter
so that Bye-den won't trip over his tongue.
Fortunately, he will have Jill at his side, poking him in the ribs,
just to keep the illusion that he is awake and alert.
When he has outlived his usefulness, he will be discarded,
and Jill will enjoy a lovely pension as a former States lady !.
The Bye-dens know how to milk the system, it's a family thing !

Hi.

I hope this post finds you doing well.

You and I have been to many FReeps and events. Supported FR from the beginning. Methinks they, the future government will shut us down. Domestic terrorists they will call us don’t you know.

It’s 1984.
