      Reed gets her to agree that Rodriguez was insubordinate when he destroyed the tapes, and that she wouldn't countenance that.

      Burr asks Haspel to explain who KSM and Nashiri were. But NOT Abu Zubaydah (bc she'd have to admit that CIA got his role wrong).

      Warner submits Brennan testimony to differentiate it from Haspel. Cotton interrupts and lies.

      Shorter Burr: Many want to make your nomination about the small issue of torture, but I'd like to make it about the small issue of your gender.

          Burr and Warner are still sitting on the dais talking. Warner may be explaining that Haspel just failed to do what she needed to.

          This ignores the fact that there are other extremely qualified women in and out of the CIA who do not have Haspel's entanglements with torture and obstruction of justice.
