Not sure the logic holds up. Haspel got away with it once already even after the Bush administration was followed by the Obama administration. She’ll be given even broader latitude from Trump with little fear of future consequences.
"Good news is Trump is so obviously disloyal to his appointees, Gina Haspel should have no illusions she & her agency will be hung out to dry if she goes back into the waterboarding business or follows the president's wishes straight into scandal."https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/03/who-is-gina-haspel/555494/ …

You're probably right. I highlighted it bc I think it's an interesting argument. This debate will be very contentious and that's an odd middle ground.

Got it. My personal take is that the only way moderation prevails is if Haspel sees it coming back on her someday. And the Senate won’t stop her on torture. They know what comes next is worse.

Haspel will be hung out to dry if she is ever even slightly disloyal to Trump personally. As to waterboarding... he likes it, and has said so on the record.

*Every* CIA director has had people tortured. No one has ever done anything about it: no one ever will until the system itself is replaced.
