Summary
Gina Haspel seems to be cruising towards confirmation as the head of the CIA. She is an admitted war criminal. Shouldn't she be in jail? Democrats who are supporting her are spineless.
We talk to former OH State Sen. Capri Cafaro about the Democratic gains in the primaries earlier this week. The Hill's Niall Stanage gives us all the latest from the White House and Code PInk's Medea Benjamin joins us in studio!
