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 excellent points.

It does not stand alone by any means, but arguably, there is possibly no greater subversive collusion in the US government, than what is consistently found at Senate SSCI.
And this committee regularly involves Pelosi on various “matters” involving Trump.
Non-SSCI Senators, almost regardless of committee, constantly follow the influence and guidance of SSCI members, who also do dominate discussion within most other senate committees.
Recent key SSCI members and committee leadership have been people like Feinstein, Warner, Burr, etc...
Under Trump, SSCI has not so quietly been behind Sessions, Barr, Esper, and several others who have truly acted to subvert liberty, America, and Trump economic and foreign doctrine.
Under Obama, SSCI was behind Holder, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, etc... Under Bush 43, SSCI was the “brick wall” blocking almost all of Bush’s agency picks, forcing Bush to utilize Clinton agency heads (including CIA, NSA, etc), or as they have with Trump, force him to use the “compromise” guy SSCI quietly gives “thumbs up regarding.
The difference in tone between Democrat and Republican presidents, is the Democrat Presidents are already ideologically more socialist and global governance aligned, as is tradition at SSCI.
Not quite perfectly true, the SSCI almost acts as the generational military industrial IC interface, which “rudders”, or forces guidance on the US Legislative Branch.
Behind the scenes, this is the Senate influence which keeps impeding Trump at every turn, and it’s members constantly providing quiet legal cover for rogue DOD, IC, DOJ/FBI, SoS globalist operatives, and any other agency globalist hotheads.
If Trump is to really get the secrets from the IC (which he needs to crack down), he will need to somehow get around the oft rogue DOD/IC sentinel of the Senate SSCI.
If he cannot break or force SSCI compromise, even quietly, this fight will intensify, *and this is if Trump survives the current Coup d’etat 5.
Oh, and by the way, which committee really enabled and provided cover for previous Trump neutralization attempts...
These are some bad hombres.
The biggest turds always float to the top...
Exactly! The CIA has dirt on all of them.
If he wins, Trump will just hire new Deep State executives to replace the old ones.
Besides DNI John Ratcliffe and Secretary of State Pompeo, there is no one in the West Wing or the Trump Cabinet who is a certifiable Conservative.
A couple months ago, “arch conservative” (LOL) immigration adviser Stephen Miller was lobbying for an increase in H-1B and H-2B foreign work visas!
....” They serve at the President’s Pleasure. Period.”.....
Those guys fully know that so what’s the point of making those statements...of course Rubio is swamp without doubt. So who are they trying to protect down the line in the CIA?
Well Pence said they found the drain and they were going to pull the plug.
I think Haspel and Wray are 2 of the ones Trump was frustrated with for blocking release of docs Trump had ordered declassified. At least thats my memory of why he may want to fire them.
Gina is totally Deep State. Both must go.
No Republican is going to say that Haspel should be fired while Haspel is still working for Trump.
That’s not a surprise at all.
Wow, I can win a 454 Chevelle SS? The profile looks like that of a 1970 too.
Yessir!
Haspel was a station chief in London, during the cabal’s work building up the Steele dossier. MI5 is up to their necks in the coup, as are the Clowns.
re declassify
bttt
Did you have evidence that the principle’s family was involved in illegal activities?
“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.

That’s such a lie.
Deep State is another way to say corrupt politician. The are deathly afraid of Trump.
