Federal prosecutors in Munich are currently reviewing a request to issue an arrest warrant for Gina Haspel, President Donald Trump‘s recently named director of the Central Intelligence Agency (“CIA”).

Haspel currently serves as the deputy director for the CIA and her nomination to head the agency must be approved by the U.S. Senate. Prior to her appointment as CIA deputy director, Haspel controversially ran a secret CIA prison in Thailand used to house, question, and allegedly torture detainees during the second Bush administration’s War on Terror.

Haspel’s tenure as “Chief of Base” at the prison–and what she did while serving in that role–is the subject of the arrest warrant request.

On June 6, 2017, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (“ECCHR”) initiated a request for legal action against Haspel by filing an intervention with the German Federal Public Prosecutor, the foremost law enforcement authority in the Federal Republic of Germany. This office is led by Attorney General Peter Frank.

Impossible for this man to pick anybody without a criminal history? I guess its like calling to like.

11. She flew under the radar as Deputy Director. Glad that the arrest warrant has been filed.

Lock. Her. Up.

[Duppers]

16. Her tenure of crimes began under Shrub & Cheney.

Besides, there's a zero chance that TRump's Republican justice dept. will charge her with any crimes. So damn the ECCHR and Europe in general; after all, they offend Putin.
