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

      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.

      Haspel: Intelligence services of our closest allies do incredible things for the national security of this country, particularly in proliferation and counterterrorism.

      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.

          Rubio asks what everyone is wondering, ‘would Gina Haspel endorse a particular product?’ 🤦‍♂️
