Remember that during the campaign? this is not john mccain s republican party. it is donald trump s republican party. he is the one calling the shots. he is the one who wants someone running the cia who was involved the torture program and the republican party is going to give it to him. as simple as this. jeff, just to clarify their point. not just the president said she s qualified and lots of folks on your side no the democratic side of the party who are not supporters of the president. you had general hayden, big critics of the president say gina haspel is incredibly qualified just like a few good men you need on that wall. that s a movie. jeff, i have been in the military. so s phil. you need gina haspel. that might be. people can learn from mistakes and i think you want to know that if this happened again she said. she said it. can i finish what i m saying? go ahead. seriously. you know, i don t remember what ....
Best case for republicans is hang on by the fingernails. worst case to lose by over 30 seats. congressman dent from the great commonwealth of pennsylvania, thank you so much. always good the see you. thank you. it s the issue that could tank gina haspel s nomination. now one said that the torture program never should have ended. stay with us. see that s funny, i thought you traded options. i m not really a wall street guy. what s the hesitation? eh, it just feels too complicated, you know? well sure, at first, but jj can help you with that. jj, will you break it down for this gentleman? hey, ian. you know, at td ameritrade, we can walk you through your options trades step by step until you re comfortable. i could be up for that. that s taking options trading from wall st. to main st. hey guys, wanna play some pool? eh, i m not really a pool guy. ....
Torture many years later. on both of those account, we have gotten no transparency and no further information from this nominee. she has been evasive and stonewalled on that. and i think it s an embarrassment for the senate to consider voting on a nominee when you don t have this basic level and knowledge of information about only two things we know about her. i will say jon tester, who is a democratic senator who is in a contested race in montana said he is not going vote for haspel. he said i m not a huge fan of waterboarding. john mccain just released a statement from arizona where he is currently undergoing continued treatment for brain cancer. he said ms. haspel s role overseeing the role of americans is disturbing. he will also vote against her. the answer i found disturbing is this notion that somehow after the torture program ended or it was made clear to the american public that america decided that we didn t want to torture. and that actually was decided ....
Whole other process to confirm someone new and we re already dealing with five or six slots that are trying to get filled high up in the government this . this is dragging down policies all over the place. i want to talk about gina haspel, because she s going through the confirmation process. is it too much to say that the president just wants to run things without anybody else having any say? does he enjoy dealing with the congress, or any checks and balances? would he be more comfortable if this was a dictatorship? i think it s more base to that. he doesn t put thought and vetting into these candidates for positions. he puts people up for positions that they re completely unqualified for. everyone could say and predict that there were going to be some issues with gina haspel for the head of the cia, but he wasn t going to listen. you don t want a president who has said he would like to torture people appointing someone who played a key role in the torture program if you do not wa ....
It does injustice to her. she s a smart, savvy person. clearly she knew there were other avenue ps .this is the kind of thing that people do when they go on the hill and can t tell the truth. and so they dissemiable. and she dissembled today. and she may well end up as director of the cia. looks like she may end up with the votes. the goodwill she does seem to have with democrats comes from the obama administration apparently relying on her and welcoming her into their deliberations. i think the problem is her very public, and i think shameful role in the torture program. ....
