Gina Haspel has been nominated to lead the CIA, but doesn't want the job! She has a history of torture sites, rendition and other war crimes. Will the GOP actually vote for her?

The NYT has obtained the questions that Robert Mueller wants to ask Donald Trump. It's clear that it came directly from the Trump White House. It certainly looks like obstruction of justice. It's just another example of how ignorant Trump and his people are and how little they care about the law. Stormy Daniels files another lawsuit against Trump because he fabricated facts about their case, Bibi Netanyahu makes false claims about Iran and Roy Moore is back in the news.
