Hidden good news about Pompeo searching for dirt abroad:

If he's going to multiple foreign leaders to fabricate distracting dirt on our own government, it's because he can't get it from inside our agencies.

That means the gangsters have not corrupted our own agencies. And that's why, ultimately, this admin is circling the drain: regular, every-day patriotic federal workers.

We're gonna save our republic, ourselves.

If this nightmare ends the way I hope, there will be a lot of rebuilding to do because many talented workers have left or been pressured to leave since 2016.

Italy, Great Britain, and Australia aren't going to jeopardize their relationship with the United Stated to help Trump.
Presidents come and go, and allowing themselves to be used as a tool to further the personal ambitions of a man who will probably be gone in January of 2021 is just not worth the long term damage to their relationship with the United States.

And, let's face it, nobody likes him, not even Putin, who is just using him.
I imagine our NATO allies are checking the days off on their calendars until Trump is gone.

with the help of foreign governments. Call it what it is: a rolling coup d'etat. This is seeking to displace our own loyalists.

I should have easily deduced but didn't. See:Silver Blaze-

The 1892 book, the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a collection of short stories. One of the stories is “Silver Blaze,”a mystery about the disappearance of a famous racehorse the night before a race and the murder of the horse’s trainer. Sherlock Homes solves the mystery in part by recognizing that no one he spoke to in his investigation remarked that they had heard barking from the watchdog during the night.

Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): “Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?”

Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”

Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”

Holmes: “That was the curious incident.”

him, and he taught me to hate them. I sympathize with our civil servants, military people, and contractors.
