Afer A 36 Year Career CIA Director Gina Haspel Announces Resignation Before Biden Inauguration

Forbes: CIA Director Gina Haspel Announces Resignation 

CIA Director Gina Haspel, who has had an increasingly strained relationship with President Trump during the final year of his administration, announced Tuesday that she is leaving the agency. 

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to lead this remarkable organization,” Haspel wrote in a statement shared by the CIA on Twitter. 

Haspel did not articulate the reason for her departure, which comes on the last full day of Trump’s presidency, though Axios reported last week that she had threatened to resign in early December when Trump sought to install loyalist and former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) aide Kash Patel as her deputy in hopes of pushing Haspel out the agency.



WNU Editor: She was hoping that she would be spared like FBI Director Wray from the incoming Biden administration. She betted wrong.

Gina studied Monkey Politics 101 in 1st grade. She was tight with Brennan (She was his protégé for Christ's sake) and Brennan was tight with Obama. So she's good? No?

But she had an insurance policy. She had graduated 2nd grade and Monkey Politics 102. She is a smart girl and she knows it. She carried water for the cause! She road blo9cked and slow walked Trump's order to declassify Crossfire Hurricane. So she should be good? No?

Burt she forgot about Adv. Monkey Politics. There are only so many chairs and when the music stops, if you don't have one, you are out. There are more supplicants for Biden's favor than there are positions, so someone is not going to get a seat.

Maybe Gina can do what Romney and Cindy McCain did. Badmouth a president for not giving them a gig. Or keeping her in gig of the last year.
