Rand Paul:  I Want To Know What Haspel Knows About The Surveillance Of The Trump Campaign, If CIA Was Involved

Posted on Real Clear Politics, by Mr Ian Schwartz, 15 May 2018.

Here is Senator Rand Paul, quoted in the article:

This is a big deal.  Now, some are saying, oh, it was just incidentally collected.  It`s still a big deal.  And there is a question.  There are some accusations it was actually ordered by President Obama`s administration, either through John Brennan or others.  Gina Haspel is the acting director of the CIA.  She is high enough up in the CIA.  I think we should know what she knows about whether the Trump campaign was surveilled upon.  We do know that John Brennan, since he has left government, has become an outspoken partisan against the president in very defamatory terms.  So, yes, I`m concerned about Gina Haspel being a close acolyte of John Brennan.  I also would like to know from her before she is appointed, if she is indeed appointed, I would like to know, what does she know about the surveillance of the Trump campaign and why was the CIA involved?

Seems a fair question, and more germaine than about water boarding.

UPDATE:  To late.  Already Confirmed by the US Senate.
