Dem Evan Bayh: Gina Haspel ‘Is the Most Qualified Person Ever Nominated for this Position’

EXCERPT:

BAYH: "Ms. Haspel, as has been noted, is without question the most qualified person ever nominated for this position. For 33 years she has worked to defend America from those who would harm us. She has served on the front lines, and she has served with some who now or memorialized with gold stars on the wall in Langley in tribute to their ultimate sacrifice. She knows the cost of freedom. She is a clear-eyed, hard-nosed expert on Russia at a time of mounting threats from that nation. And if confirmed, as Senator Chambliss noted, she would be the first woman to serve as DCIA, sending a clear message that advancement in the intelligence community is based on merit, not impeded by prejudice."
