Wow... really?!

I was thinking something far more nefarious and she’s begging for her job while she let AntiFa and BLM destroy whole cities WITH international support?!

Waning days of his first term, perhaps. Hill reports things that aren’t facts.

Sounds like Mitch is giving her a show of support?

Lol, “waning days of a Trump administration”, yet Trump is acting like a man preparing for his second term, getting rid of the dead weight and backstabbers.

What concerns me is whether this is a signal to Trump that he shouldn’t cross Mitch by firing her

He’s replacing Obama people with his own like he should have done 4 years ago.

Trump never lost.

Fire everyone now and make them panic. Then go after their files and all data. Use it against them in court.

Is Mitch giving Haspel a sign of support against Trump?

Sorry, why would it necessarily mean a sign of support?
Could be a sign of desperation on her part.

It’s a largely unrecognized coup, away from places like FR.

For the coup to be successful, it has to have the support of political elites on both sides, the military, the FBI and the CIA.

If it were just one party and the media, there would be big trouble (like tanks in the street type trouble).

It could still happen that way. This is why swamp creatures are signalling to one another as best they can.

Something’s gotta give, if the evidence keeps mounting up that there was significant fraud. But let’s be clear, any fraud in a free vote is significant fraud. Any pattern of it is very disturbing. The constitution nowhere states that a private group of individuals may insert fraudulent votes into the process, they probably didn’t envisage fraud on this scale back in a much simpler time.

A signal that McConnell supports Haspel? It is just as likely to be a plea for the Senator to use whatever influence he may have with the President to save her job. I say fire them all.
