      Warner: I need to get a sense of what your moral code says about this kind of action. [Haspel taking notes abt Warner's comments abt Trump] Warner: What will you do when you are D/CIA? Haspel: My father served 33 years in AF, my parents gave me strong moral compass.

      Haspel's answer is really about risk to CIA officers, not about morals. So ... maybe her parents didn't give her a strong moral compass.

      Haspel: My moral compass is strong. I would not allow CIA to undertake activity that I thought was immoral. I believe CIA must undertake activities that are consistent w/American values. [Terrible follow up from Warner, tho he had been doing unusually well up until that point]

      Haspel: There is no more important partnership than the one between CIA and DOD. Given reports of inadequate briefing on Niger operation this should get some follow-up.

      Feinstein: We asked agency that your record be declassified, to make informed decision and bc public should be informed. CIA declassified only small parts, hiding damaging aspects. I'm very limited in what I can say, I like you very much, probably most difficult hearing.

      Haspel says she is not the CoS described in Rizzo's memoir. Haspel: He issued a correction.

      Haspel: I did not run the interrogation department. Haspel: I was an advocate if we could within the law. I never watched the tapes.

      Haspel: Tapes were recordings of only 1 detainee. Meaning Haspel turned off the tapes when she oversaw torture of al-Nashiri.

          Haspel: It is very important that D/CIA adhere to classification guidelines that all CIA officers abide by. [This is her excuse for not declassifying her own record -- the precedent.]

          Haspel suggests it would be a security risk to declassify link between her and al-Nashiri. There's only one risk here (because she's a target anyway): that she'd have to testify at Gitmo.

          Zubaydah. Public record had said that 2 tapes included Nashiri (they taped over on a day to day basis). If her statement is correct, they DIDN'T tape her.

          Wyden: No greater indictment of this process than that you decide what information gets released about your record. You publicly released Morell report Do you have any problem w/release of Durham report?

          Haspel writing notes while Wyden asks if she ever called for program to be continued from 2005-2007. Haspel: Like all of us, we all believed in our work. We believed techniques were legal and authorized. So, yes, she called for it to be continued.
