          SSCI release doesn't say who voted how (it was in a SCIF), but since Mark Warner and Joe Manchin said they'd support her, safe to surmise the 5 nays were the remaining Dems: Dianne Feinstein, Ron Wyden, Martin Heinrich, Kamala Harris, and Angus King (technically an independent)

        Here's my story from this morning's front page declaring Haspel likely to be confirmed after she told Mark Warner enough of what he wanted to hear: i.e. the CIA torture program was a mistake in retrospect. nytimes.com/2018/05/15/us/politics/gina-haspel-cia-torture-letter-senate.html

      .@RonWyden not happy about Haspel nomination moving forward, cites "still-classified matters" about her record, accuses her and CIA of abusing power (i.e. by refusing to declassify them so they could be discussed in public as part of the confirmation process)

      And here's @SenatorCollins confirming/explaining her yay vote on Haspel. (Collins deciding to back her was a key moderate-Republican firewall moment after McCain announced that he would oppose.)
