Okay. Give us the proof.
I am particularly interested in her role in destroying evidence (tapes) of one guy being waterboarded over 80 times while under her supervision. And the destruction order was directly from her. The optics of this order are “covering her own tracks.” Bad optics.
I would like to understand how this has been “mischaracterized”…
I wasn’t there when it all happened. As I understand it she’s respected by her peers. But this seems like a very wrong person at a very wrong time. This nation is under attack and was almost certainly betrayed by the people in the administration who chose this candidate. That’s a black mark right there. And we’re still living down the torture. Putting a torturer in charge doesn’t really help with that. We need people leading our investigative services about whose integrity there is no possible question.
You speak the truth. The reality is that for this administration “integrity” is a word and a concept which simply do not exist.
Funny, Trump said the same thing…
Although, since “integrity” is not a word in trump’s vocabulary, he instead used the word “loyalty”…
I’ve never heard him talk about right and wrong in a way that suggested he had any real understanding of the concept. A more intelligent narcissist would at least understand the idea as others saw it. The trouble with Trump is he’s not smart enough to fool people who aren’t credulous chumps. He never was.
“We want to declassify as much as possible without jeopardizing someone’s what we call sources and methods,” Coats told reporters, according to Politico. “Every effort will be made to explain fully what her role was.”
Actually, the question is if they mean to declassify as much as possible without jeopardizing her chances to be approved.

[/quote]See, you can only say that because you are willing to call a thing what it really is.
As you recall, it wasn’t called torture, it was called “enhanced interrogation”, by perpetrators who justified it to themselves and the public that it was A-OK to mock drown someone repeatedly. Then they destroyed the visual evidence that they did it.
Apparently all of that qualifies one to receive a promotion. This is the world in which we live.
Like many of the Cheney administration’s policies, it sounded better in the original German:* Verschärfte Vernehmung

Homer Simpson: “Gee, Flanders, I’d really like to want to try to help you.”
I read where she made light of a torture victim. She should be asked about that, as well as what she things about John McCain’s opinions about the effectiveness and suitability of torture. We’ll see.
“overseeing the torture of at least one terrorism suspect in a CIA prison in Thailand”
That right there ought to disqualify her, but it won’t cuz look, there’s a brown person looking suspicious over there!
Dan Coats, who refused to testify before House and Senate oversight committees about conversations with President Trump. Yeah…we can take his word on this…
