Summary
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?
Another Democratic politician resigns amid accusations of sexual and physical abuse. At least Eric Schneiderman did the right thing by resigning. Good riddance.
We talk to Zoe Tillman from Buzzfeed about the latest with Stormy Daniels/Mueller, Emily Stewart from Vox about Gina Haspel and Andrew Desiderio from the Daily Beast gives us the latest on the Iran deal!
