CIA Director Gina Haspel is hoping Trump loses his re-election bid so she can run out the clock on Russiagate document declassifications, multiple intelligence community officials told The Federalist.

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Gina Haspel is personally blocking the declassification and release of key Russiagate documents in the hopes that President Donald Trump will lose his re-election bid, multiple senior U.S. officials told The Federalist. The officials said Haspel, who served under former CIA Director John Brennan as the spy agency’s station chief in London in 2016 and 2017, is concerned that the declassification and release of documents detailing what the CIA was doing during the 2016 election and the 2017 transition could embarrass the CIA and potentially even implicate Haspel herself.

“Haspel and [FBI Director Christopher] Wray both want Trump to lose, because it’s the only chance they have of keeping their jobs,” one senior intelligence official told The Federalist. “They’re banking on Biden winning and keeping them where they are.”

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe released a declassified summary last week that disclosed that Russian intelligence officials were aware that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton had planned to smear Trump as a treasonous Russian asset to distract from the Clinton’s e-mail scandal. As part of her operation, Clinton hired a foreign agent who was himself working for a sanctioned Russian...

What Trump “loss” are they talking about? A possible Trump 3rd term? Otherwise, the headline makes no sense as it is written in the present tense. Then the story should be a backdate from prior to the 2024 election. Which it isn’t. It’s dated today.

According to Wikipedia, Gina Haspel was the 7th director of the CIA from May, 2018, to January, 2021. She had been the deputy director in 2017 under Mike Pompeo, and shortly after Pompeo became Secretary of State became the first female permanent CIA director.

I remember her oh-so-clever message “telegraphed” by her clothing at Trump's 2019 State of the Union address after she became CIA director:

“White hats” is supposed to mean, “we are the good guys.”

Hah.

I caught your point. The article was written today quoting The Federalist from 10/05/20. I had to read some of it twice.

Her dress looks like a 4-H sewing project for the fair. Doesn’t look store bought.

“gina was in germany on election night?”

I’m guessing it was also to oversee and ensure the backup/fail-over Election Server ‘results’ produced no conflicting data.

I may not recall this correctly, but I thought there were pictures of her on January 6th on the Mall wearing a MAGA hat to full effect for her cause.
