Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        But honestly did we even need to see these cables to know the truth about her? Shame on anyone who voted to confirm her nomination.

        I’m still aghast that @MarkWarner voted for Gina Haspel’s nomination. I hope he has the decency to one day write a book explaining how the known alternatives would’ve been worse.

        Dammit. The NY Times fails the framing test every time. They are not the Liberal media. They are aiding and abetting criminals.

        Maybe they'll get the time down to just a week or two after he's confirmed.

        In a just society, Haspel would be rotting in jail. That she heads this nation’s preeminent intelligence agency instead speaks volumes of the US government’s moral bankruptcy.

        don't care. BUT I am happy to hear that the IRS has to pay millions to conservative groups but I think Lois Lerner should have to pay this all on her own....

        None of this matters. Law makers don’t care. They knew she ran the torture prison, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to find out that detainees were actually tortured there...
