U.S. Republican Senator Paul opposes Pompeo, Haspel nominations

Paul is an idiot wasting his time. There are enough idiot republicans to confirm these idiots to the positions. Paul should save his breath given the idiot-in-chief will probably fire these two idiots straight away.

Suxh high turnover is great for any institution as it ensures the institutional knowledge is diminished. Trump and his ignorant, asinine supporters want everything dumbed down so they can understand what's going on.

Paul is nuts, but in this matter he's 100% correct. Neither should be confirmed.

Senator Paul has not shown the ability to stake out a position like this and stick to it. IF this turns out to be an exception, the DCI nomination could well be rejected. Senator McCain is often in Arizona for health reasons, so he wouldn't be there to supply the 50th vote. And I would be very surprised if he supplied the 50th vote if he IS able to attend. McCain has very strong opinions on the question of torture. In fact, I hope he is available to ask the questions at the confirmation hearing. We might finally see the conversation on this issue we should have had over ten years ago.

McCain understandable went through a lot, but despite what he went through has nothing to do with the effectiveness of enhanced interrogations. Now having said that you can’t have a more qualified person to appoint to the top position of the CIA and a woman with the knowledge and depth of experience Haspel has.

Torture is despicable. Shame to see these supporters of such barbarism move up the ranks.

It's political grandstanding, but Paul happens to have a point.

Crazy: "Paul is nuts, but in this matter he's 100% correct"

Can't have it both ways, Crazy. If he's nuts he can't be 100% correct. He be wrong.

Oh my...
