1. Honesty will not be rewarded.

2. Haspel didn't publicly cross Trump once that I recall.

The CIA has been complacent and compliant for 4 fucking years.

I guess he didn't like her attitude in meetings, or access to the truth about his ties to Russia.

3. Haspel

Apparently, Donnie wants the CIA to declassify portions of the Russia investigation, and Haspel is refusing because it exposes very sensitive sources and methods.

5. Exactly. He's been angling for that for quite some time. She has held firm against it.

President Trump’s senior military and intelligence officials have been warning him strongly against declassifying information about Russia that his advisers say would compromise sensitive collection methods and anger key allies.

An intense battle over this issue has raged within the administration in the days before and after the Nov. 3 presidential election. Trump and his allies want the information public because they believe it would rebut claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin supported Trump in 2016. That may sound like ancient history, but for Trump it remains ground zero — the moment when his political problems began.

CIA Director Gina Haspel last month argued strongly at a White House meeting against disclosing the information, because she believed that doing so would violate her pledge to protect sources and methods, a senior congressional source said. This official said a bipartisan group of Republican and Democratic senators has been trying to protect Haspel, though some fear that Trump may yet oust her.

donnie does not care about national security or our allies. It's all about him and his own personal interests.

6. That's ok. I have no doubt that Gina listened in on the meeting in real time.
