By now we all know how much lying Michael Flynn has done. From having an illegal, unsecured network connection installed at the Pentagon because he felt security policies were too strict, to blabbing classified information to anyone who would listen while he was in Afghanistan, and of course his lies about not meeting and colluding with Russian agents, his exploits of lies are legendary.
Now comes word that despite repeated warnings he was highly susceptible to blackmail by the Russians, our new and vaunted CIA director held classified briefings with the con artist while Flynn was in the room.
Even worse, before the con artist assumed power, several intelligence agencies were convinced Flynn could easily be blackmailed, yet for three weeks Pompeo held these meetings without a care in the world and never bothered to inform the con artist of these concerns. Further, when asked directly about Flynn's ability to be blackmailed and whether he knew of this serious matter, Pompeo could only respond to Senator Ron Wyden on the Senate Intelligence Committee:
To which Senator Wyden responded:
Concerns across the government about Mr. Flynn were so great after Mr. Trump took office that six days after the inauguration, on Jan. 26, the acting attorney general, Sally Q. Yates, warned the White House that Mr. Flynn had been “compromised.”

"I can’t answer yes or no,” he said. “I regret that I’m unable to do so.”
To which Senator Wyden responded:
“Either Director Pompeo had no idea what people in the C.I.A. reportedly knew about Michael Flynn, or he knew about the Justice Department’s concerns and continued to discuss America’s secrets with a man vulnerable to blackmail,” Mr. Wyden said in a statement. “I believe Director Pompeo owes the public an explanation.”
