Democrats’ obsession with opposing President Trump on all fronts, no matter the merits, opens a new phase this week as CIA Director-designate Gina Haspel goes before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

That there’s any opposition at all to this supremely qualified candidate only underscores just how petty and partisan the Democrats have become.

Haspel would be not only the first woman to head the CIA, but also the first career officer in 52 years to rise through the ranks directly to the director’s chair.

Little wonder that she’s won the enthusiastic support of past CIA directors from both parties, including several of Trump’s fiercest critics.

In 33 years at the agency, Haspel has acquired a record of service in clandestine operations that rivals the fictional Carrie Mathison of “Homeland” (but without the personal demons).

She has headed four CIA stations across the globe, been a senior official in the CIA’s Russia operation, held several top roles in the division responsible for covert operations and, post-9/11, was a senior-level supervisor in counterterrorism.

Her integrity — and, significantly, her political impartiality — are unchallenged.

Other than the name of the guy who nominated her, the only gripe against her is that, in the post-9/11 hunt to destroy al Qaeda, she reportedly was involved in the CIA’s black-site interrogation of terrorist suspects.

Yet two of the more serious accusations against her were retracted by the news site that initially made them. And, as Rich Lowry has noted, this was no rogue operation. It was approved at the highest levels and took place in the aftermath of the deadliest foreign attack on US soil.

To punish Haspel for that is unfair; to reject her in protest of an official policy from two presidents ago is remarkably tawdry.

Gina Haspel, quite simply, is one of Trump’s most capable and distinguished appointments. She deserves quick confirmation — without partisan theatrics.
