Tillerson's gone. Breaking today. Only news source I could find right now is the detestable CNBC, but there you have it.

So who gets Pompeo's chair at CIA? I'm betting its Bolton.

1. BBC has it.

2. Wow! How many of his staff is not there now? Also, I undertand Bolton is a nightmare of

a person. Actually, just the kind Trump will love.

[Siwsan]

3. It's Gina Haspel

Don't know a thing about her.

[IluvPitties]

5. Probably another Betsy DeVos.

[onenote]

8. Not even close. Worse. She's career CIA, and has despicable record

regarding torture, waterboarding, destruction of evidence.

[CincyDem]

13. Sounds like she comes from the ops/field side.

Ran a "black site" in Thailand is how her wiki profile opens. Good to know that we have someone leading the CIA who knows how to use a sponge with a car battery attached. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

There's part of me that wishes for Bolton on the premise that he's all talk an no action.

15. In Thailand? Interesting, because the Russian escort is there now...

[CincyDem]

17. Hmmmm...interesting connection. Have to believe that Gina's still got friends in high places. n/t

[CentralMass]

19. Low places.

[MrScorpio]

14. Actually she a career intelligence officer

With some experience in waterboarding people.

9. Shes a fucking creep and an asshole

[Hoyt]

10. Just about anyone has got to be better than Bolton, although that's not saying much.

[IluvPitties]

18. It seems this lady is a torture fan.

[CincyDem]

4. From the horse's (ass) mouth...

6. Poor Oil Man Rex

Those Russian sanctions are still standing.

He had only one job.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. Earlier rumors suggested that Tom Cotton might go to CIA.

[onenote]

11. Hope you didn't wager too much on Bolton getting it.

It's the queen of waterboarding, Gina Haspel.

[Louis1895]

12. Wouldn't Bolton become National Security Adviser?

When 45 fires HR McMaster?

Then we could have Erik Prince to head the CIA.

(Just trying to think of the worst people to keep this kakistocracy running...)

[spanone]

16. NOT until congress approves him. don forgets there are other branches of government

[samnsara]

20. wonder if boltons going to be COS?

[Stinky The Clown]

21. That was the earlier rumor and given this Gina Whatesername news, may still be.
