Sean Davis: Gina Haspel Was Personally Blocking The Release Of Key Documents In October 2020, Hoping Trump Would Lose
Sean Davis of The Federalist discusses former CIA Director Gina Haspel’s role in the origins and cover-up of the Trump-Russia investigation on “The Benny Show.”
SEAN DAVIS, THE FEDERALIST: Well, [Former CIA Director Gina] Haspel is a fascinating character that has, she’s largely avoided much scrutiny. I believe she was CIA station chief in London when these rumors that allegedly started the investigation against Trump in mid 2016 started coming through. We’re told that it was intel from an Australian ambassador that was passed through the legal attache at the embassy in London. And of course we know that an embassy in the CIA, they kind of work hand in glove. So this came through her domain in 2016, that’s how it allegedly started. And then we find out again in late 2020 before the election, by the way, that it was Haspel who was personally trying to block the release and declassification of key documents showing the world what actually happened. So a lot of what we got over this last week about the corrupt intel community assessment that just had lie after lie, it was Haspel we were told back in 2020 who was personally blocking that. It was Haspel who was rooting, we were told, for Trump to lose so that she could evade accountability and continue to obstruct and hide these documents that we so desperately need to see.
