Senate Committee to Hear from CIA Director Nominee
C-Span Live ^ | 02/07/13 | C-Span

Washington, DC Thursday, February 7, 2013

The President's choice to be the new CIA Director, John Brennan, goes before the Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday for his confirmation hearing. If approved, Brennan will replace Acting Director Michael Morell.

Several Committee members are vowing to ask Brennan “tough questions,” including questions on the use of American drones overseas and the Obama administration’s drone strike program. He is also expected to field inquiries about the agency's budget.

Brennan, currently Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, is a 25-year veteran of the CIA and served both at the agency's headquarters and overseas, including a tour as station chief in Saudi Arabia. Pres. Obama nominated Brennan as the next CIA director on January 7, 2013.

Hah, they are protesting one by one. So one gets removed, then the next one pops up, and now they are halting the hearings and the room is being cleared. It’s Code Pink doing it. So Feinstein and Company knew they were in there, and let them in. Idiot Dems. They let their own kind in and then they turn on them. Hah, hah, hah. Fools.

Feinstein having to clear chambers temporarily now to remove Code Pink members who are disrupting. At least 5 have gotten up and made a ruckus so far.

They will bring people back in one-by-one.
