Pompeo Going Under the Bus?

[KeithD]

Is Pompeo not being disgustingly Trump enabling enough? If so, good riddance.

I hope so. He's the worst of the sycophants.
Bill Barr next!

Obviously the manchild Trump sees personal loyalty as more important than the USA's National Interests or acting legally. However, if he pushes Pompeo out or if Pompeo walks, who would be willing to do this job?

No-one with half a brain in the present circumstances.

Possibly Kushner. Actually that's nor really funny.

Nikki Haley, while waiting to run for president. I wouldn't be surprised if it already was set up.

What, the board Trumpettes have nothing to say about yet another "all the best people" and "stable genius" faceoff?

A large and politically divided nation will have differing opinions about the nation's interests. Any government employee could fail or refuse to act for your interests and still do a fine job for the majority.

Well Pompeo is a West Pointer, maybe he'll fall on his saber for "The Glorious Leaders Benefit"?

Or will he out Mulkey, Pence, Rudy, Perry, and the rest of the grafters for the sake of the Republic?

Or will he mutely become a Thump-_ Thiump-Thump for Trump?

 

[magicalmoments]

Military, CIA, congressman.

He will have lost any sense of honour and/or duty he may have had long ago.

He could decide to take the bullet for trump but I doubt it.

Trump turned on him at the first sign of pressure. I'm picking he'll sing like a canary, purely out of spite, because hey, that's just how he rolls.

Good point, I hadn't thought of her - thought she had her eye on Pence's job, but either might suit her. Though being close to Trump has proved no good as a career move to anyone else, apart from family.

My main concern on Foreign Policy is that Kushner has far too much influence - particularly in the middle east.

Maybe Pompeo has some dirt on Jarad and Prince Bonesaw? Maybe. it's posible?

Mike could take down the whole rabid conspiracy and be proclaimed a Hero for outing this Russian Plot and Putins Puppet too?

If he rolls on Trump, Rudy's Chuckelfucks, minions of Moscow, and Jarad's double dealing with Jedda?

You could be a hero of the Republican party, Mike! Go for it!

Well after yesterday, Mike has lost his opportunity to be a Hero. Now he is fated to go down with the USS Trumptanic. Rudy said he was directed to run with his conspiracy by Pompeo as well as Trumpski. Which only proves that being first in class at West Point doesn't mean you are the best judge of character.

I had a "what would Donald do?" moment last night and saw a scenario of Trump offering Romney secretary of state (he dangled it before and Romney showed he wanted it) to get him out of the Senate as a possible removal advocate there and Romney accepting so that he didn't have to be in the Senate for the removal trial and vote--and because he'd like to be secretary of state.

Pompeo calls it ‘democracy’ in Bolivia as post-coup violence grows and fear of civil war intensifies

Observers on the ground in Bolivia are calling on the United Nations to take urgent action to prevent the country from descending into a full-blown civil war as the military, with a green light from the right-wing coup regime, continues to repress and massacre supporters of ousted former President Evo Morales.

“This conflict is spiraling out of control and I fear it will only get worse. That’s why so many Bolivians are desperately calling for international help.”
—Medea Benjamin, CodePink

I wonder if the USA had any thing to do with the Coup? Any word from Langley?

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, meanwhile, expressed support for the right-wing regime in Bolivia in a statement Thursday.

“We recognize the importance of Bolivia’s political transition to democracy in our hemisphere, and we admire the Bolivian people for standing up for their constitution, their democracy, and for free, fair, and transparent elections,” Pompeo said. “We pledge our support to the Bolivian people and to the transitional government led by President Jeanine Añez as they prepare for these elections.”

On Twitter, Benjamin noted the timing of Pompeo’s statement.

“At the very moment the Bolivian military teargassed a funeral procession for those murdered by the military two days ago, the State Department put out a press release supporting the new government and its commitment to peaceful assembly,” Benjamin said. “You can’t make this shit up!”

Ultimate 'both siderism' or hypocrisy, Mike?

State dept has refused to comply with congress subpoenas demanding documents, emails, texts etc between Pompeo and Giuliani and trump.
However they have released these very documents under a freedom of information request to some civil rights group.
The released documents show that Pompeo and Giuliani colluded and conspired to have ambassador Yovanovitch dismissed.
Perhaps the congress investigation committee should drop the subpoena strategy and make freedom of information requests instead.

I wouldn't put it past Trump to make the offer (although I do suspect he's so deep in denial that he doesn't believe he has to worry about a Senate vote yet), but I think Romney probably sees the writing on the wall. If he were offered SoS and took it, he'd have maybe a year and change in the world's most thankless job at the moment. If not, he's got a Senate seat from his party's safest state, so probably for as long as he wants it. I know which one I'd choose.

Oh, Trump has figured out the Senate slice of the impeachment process (or someone has told him). That's why he invited Romney and Collins to lunch (why they accepted is another issue), why he's already injecting money in Republican Senate campaigns, and why he's setting up Camp David as a vacation retreat for Republican lawmakers (https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...6e7810-0c6f-11ea-8397-a955cd542d00_story.html). No doubt he's gauged the Republican Senators susceptibility to raw bribery correctly.

Yes, that's a fun fact. State only released the documents on an FOIA request, though, because they received a court order to do so (no later than the minute they did so). To not have released them would have been the first "administration" initiation of a constitutional crisis--not responding to a court order.

For the moment, perhaps. But if the bottom drops out for him like it did with Nixon, that will change everything.

New trove of Ukraine documents exposes ‘Clear paper trail from Rudy Giuliani to the Oval Office to Secretary Pompeo’

“We can see why Mike Pompeo has refused to release this information to Congress,” Evers said in a statement. “It reveals a clear paper trail from Rudy Giuliani to the Oval Office to Secretary Pompeo to facilitate Giuliani’s smear campaign against a U.S. ambassador.”

“The evidence is only going to get worse for the administration as its stonewall strategy collapses in the face of court orders,” added Evers. “That American Oversight could obtain these documents establishes that there is no legal basis for the administration to withhold them from Congress. That conclusively shows that the administration is engaged in obstruction of justice.”

DO you need a ticket to be UNDER the bus?

Pompeo sees ‘duty’ to probe Ukraine meddling theory

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday he felt duty bound to investigate whether Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, without saying if he believed the widely debunked conspiracy theory.

President Donald Trump has sought a probe into whether Ukraine rather than Russia interfered in his election — an idea already rejected by US intelligence and which a former White House official said was Russian propaganda.

Pompeo is also a Veteran and a West Point grad. Doesn't that make him above the board like we have been told for a few others with the same credentials?

Pompeo has sold out to a corrupt/criminal mob. He doesn't get a get-into-the-human-race card just because he is a veteran and went to West Point. As a veteran you'd thinking he'd at least be capable of doing some thinking about Trump having been caught and fined for holding a charity for veterans and stealing the money.

Pompeo is a self-absorbed ethical and moral degenerate who is betting on the wrong jackal.

I can tell you're not a deep thinker.
