Why Would Pompeo Particicpate In A Cover-Up For Trump?.....

What does Trump have on Pompeo or why would he want to allow the Saudi's to come up with a cover story?

I just don't get it. Pompeo is a smart man. He's got to realize that Trump is dragging him into something that is very precarious.

will do whatever it takes to stay in power.

Keep in mind that the inside the Beltway mindset is a very real thing. People like him are very disconnected from what we might want to think of as the real world. Political power is everything for them.

Come on, flying to SA for a 15 minute meeting? All the happy glad hands and smiles and the endless love? Bullshit, if there's a cover story he's a big part of it. He has to know that this bunch won't be held accountable, the Republicans have been clear on that.

Trump chose them. I don't know either way about Pompeo being legally compromised previously, but he's certainly morally compromised. He just demonstrated it for the umpteenth time.

Heard last weekend something I never knew. Apparently they believe Saudi Arabia is a 'hero' nation and China is the big enemy of the church.

Can't wrap my mind around that, but there it is.
