Obama pick for CIA 2nd-in-command held erotica nights at her Baltimore bookstore
...............................................................................
By Daily Mail Reporter 13 June 2013

President Obama's nomination to be deputy director of the CIA was once the hostess of erotic literature readings at a Baltimore bookstore.

Avril Haines, who is set to replace outgoing deputy director Michael Morell, opened and co-owned Adrians's Book Cafe two decades ago after dropping out of a graduate program in physics at Johns Hopkins University, The Daily Beast reports. She named the cafe after Haines' mother, artist Adrian Rappin.

It was there, in a candle-lit room on the second story, that Haines held monthly readings of erotic literature to a crowd of people 'trying to have sex without having sex' - in her own words - according to a 1995 Baltimore Sun article.


President Barack Obama meets with his National Security staff in the Oval Office, including Avril Haines (second from left). From left are: Douglas E. Lute, senior director for Afghanistan and Pakistan; Jeff Eggers, director for Afghanistan and Central Region; David Holmes, director for Afghanistan; National Security Adviser Tom Donilon; Haines; and Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough

'Erotica has become more prevalent because people are trying to have sex without having sex,' she told the Sun. 'Others are trying to find new fantasies to make their monogamous relationships more satisfying.

'What the erotic offers is spontaneity, twists and turns. And it affects everyone.'

Haines wasn't the initiator of the steamy evening readings. She told the Sun that a customer came to her with the idea.

'We were terrified who might show up,' she told the newspaper. 'We thought it would be a bunch of dirty old men. And a lot of our friends gave us a hard time. They said, "You just want a mass orgy in your bookstore."'

But the events proved successful, with singles paying $17 and couples paying $30 to attend.

So the second-floor curtains were drawn, the candles were lit, and the readings went on.






CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell is resigning and will be replaced by White House lawyer Avril D. Haines.

EXCERPT FROM A ROMANCE NOVEL HAINES READ ALOUD AT HER STORE

"The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty," by Anne Rice:

'In the topmost bedchamber of the house he found her. He had stepped over sleeping chambermaids and valets, and, breathing the dust and damp of the place, he finally stood in the door of her sanctuary.

Her flaxen hair lay long and straight over the deep green velvet of her bed, and her dress in loose folds revealed the rounded breasts and limbs of a young woman...

Her face was perfect to him, and her embroidered gown had fallen deep into the crease between her legs so that he could see he shape of her sex beneath it.

He drew out his sword, with which he had cut back all the vines outside, and gently slipping the blade between her breasts, let it rip easily through the old fabric.'

News of Haines' past with the bookstore has little relevance to her credentials for the job as deputy director of the CIA.

She is currently deputy assistant to the president and legal adviser to the National Security Council and she has also chaired a legal committee that reviews the CIA's most sensitive activities.

But for an agency that was recently embarrassed by the resignation of its director, David Petraeus, over his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, Haines' bookstore readings start to appear more pertinent.

FBI never canvased the mosques around the Boston area

GOP’er Louie Gohmert And FBI’s Robert Mueller Explode Over Investigation Into Boston Bombers
Mediaite ^ | 6/13/13 | Noah Rothman


A tense exchange erupted on Thursday between Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and FBI Director Robert Mueller on Thursday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. Gohmert suggested that the FBI was negligent in its responsibilities prior to the April attack on the Boston Marathon because they neglected to investigate local Muslim institutions and leaders.

Mueller and Gohmert traded barbs after the FBI director insisted that the GOP representative had his facts wrong. Gohmert insisted that a review committee report shows that the FBI never canvased the mosques around the Boston area
