Democrats’ shabby attack on Trump’s new CIA pick

The latest Washington cry of “You’re Fired!†will elevate current CIA Director Mike Pompeo to the secretary of state’s chair. He’s reasonably qualified and up to date on global challenges. After enduring a few circus stunts on the Hill, he’ll be confirmed as our nation’s chief diplomat. As long as he can summon the guts to challenge the president when necessary, PomÂpeo should do a competent job.
A shabbily unfair controversy has already begun, though, over Pompeo’s successor at the CIA. The administration’s choice is Gina Haspel, now deputy director and an agency veteran since 1985. She has extensive undercover experience and impeccable professional credentials. Confirming her should be all but automatic.
It won’t be. Because congressional Democrats are about to focus on the wrong fight over the wrong person at utterly the wrong time.
