    Funny how the Democrat in the most important oversight position doesn't mention Haspel's role in covering up crimes from Congress?https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/996461820088070145 …

    JUST IN: Sen. Mark Warner to support nomination of Gina Haspel to lead CIA. "I believe she is someone who can and will stand up to the President if ordered to do something illegal or immoral—like a return to torture," he says. https://abcn.ws/2Gk5r5V  pic.twitter.com/acaWvSRI3b

        >@MarkWarner simply can't be an effective overseer of CIA after this. He's rewarding CIA treating Congress with contempt.

        It is literally their job to supervise and to know. Posturing 15 years later is just that.

        Agreed - but at this point we have to primary like half the dem caucus in the Senate. Doesn’t seem promising.

        And then they wonder why people aren't more motivated to vote for the Dems (if at all). This kind of spineless BS is part of the reason why many say "Why bother?"

        I'm *not* saying it's a good excuse but that's what all too many will say. The GOP had put a lot of effort over the years into dissuading the public from voting because they know it benefits them. When some Dems pull stupid moves like this it only plays into the GOP's hands.

        And that is why this year of all years it is important for dems to get to the polls. They have a long sad history of not voting. That has to change. At least this year. Maybe it will become a habit.

        I agree completely that this year is especially important. That's why it makes me mad to see such a stupid move by a Democrat as we get closer to the elections, it's bad timing. Hopefully in the future the Dems can pass election reforms that will get more people to vote.

        Haspel is a true chameleon, she is not to be trusted, and would most likely find a way to justify doing what ever the Orange Sphicter asked her to do, as a part of her job description. 💩
