Haspel . . . .
Look at the VOTING to see who did NOT want
her confirmed. Did the DS swamp creatures vote against her ?
On May 9, 2018, Haspel appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee for a confirmation hearing.
On May 14, Haspel sent a letter to Senator Mark Warner of Virginia stating that, in hindsight, the CIA should not
have operated its interrogation and detention program. Shortly thereafter, Sen. Warner announced he would back
Haspel when the Senate Intelligence Committee voted on whether to refer her nomination to the full Senate.
She was approved for confirmation by the Senate Intelligence Committee on May 16 by a 10–5 vote, with two Democrats voting in favor.
The next day, Haspel was confirmed by the full Senate, on a mostly party-line, 54–45 vote. Rand Paul and Jeff Flake of Arizona were the only
Republican nays, and six Democrats — Donnelly, Manchin, Warner, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Bill Nelson of Florida, and
Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire — voted yes.
McCain, who had urged his colleagues to reject her nomination, did not cast a vote, as he was hospitalized at the time.
