Richard Engel ✔ @RichardEngel

Pompeo, who accuses lawmakers who want answers of bullying, had fits of “anger” while at CIA, former Sr intelligence officials say. Often, an official said, it would happen if analysis didn’t match the political theme of the day. Lots of slammed phones + demands for polygraphs.

For context, former senior US intelligence officials tell @nbcnews
while at the CIA, Pompeo was a bully to subordinates, driving
some to quit or seek new assignments. “Throwing binders was
a popular sport," said one.
