The reporter from Nashville did a much better job interviewing him than did Judy Woodruff. I love Judy but she is hopeless when she interviews people like Pompeo - she never challenges them.

His recent canned comments illuminate his kind:

“A conservative government is an organized hypocrisy.” — Benjamin Disraeli

His arrogant confidence is absolutely chilling.

Wealthy climate deniers, and their hirelings and henchmen like Pompeo, believe they can buy their safety post-socioeconomic collapse from war or climate change. The rest of humanity, they feel, should be left to fight over the scraps.

The late, former Secretary of Defense and co-founder of the Carlyle Group, Frank Carlucci had plans for luxury class lifeboat-castles:

are trying to bring about the rapture.

Then he became the Representative from Koch Industries, an “errand boy for billionaires.”

When you start viewing these people through that lens, their motivations are crystal clear.

Karoli Kuns of Crooks & Liars reported:

As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's involvement in the Ukrainian pay-for-play Trump scandal deepens, Pompeo is leaving on a jaunt to Europe with former White House staffer and alleged Nazi who couldn't get a security clearance Sebastian Gorka.

Yevhen Fedchenko told David Corn:

The overarching goal for Russia is to get Ukrainians to believe that they are largely on their own. “There’s just Russia and Ukraine and no international coalition supporting Ukraine,” Fedchenko says, “and Ukraine is left without reliable military or political back-up.”

Thanks to Benedict Donald, it’s win-win for Russia.

Exactly what I was going to say.

I don't think he just sounds like it, I think he is. If not directly, than indirectly by supporting Trump, who is Putin's agent. They all know what is going on and they are complicit if not outright guilty.

I can't wait to see all these traitorous motherfuckers in prison.

Only Republicans can investigate Republican corruption. Therefore no investigation of Republican corruption.

Of course when Republicans had Co trol of the House, politically motivated investigation of Democrats is totally acceptable. See Clinton administration )92-99) and Benghazi.

That is some evil Catch, that Catch-666.

And the DNC is code word for Americans.

How fucking pathetic can one get?

claim that reality is fake news propaganda put forward by your political opponent. Since FOX News will back you up it's sure to work with the idiots you are trying to look legitimate too.

very well done!

These trumps think they're being cute but they're only highlighting how evasive, corrupt and dishonest they are,

thug

It's almost as if Pompeo is agreeing to do these interviews to set up the reporters for the sole purpose of getting his talking point out.

Just call the FBI and the press a bunch of nasty political opponents and ignore them.

Pompeo's no dummy, he's a graduate of both West Point and Harvard Law. He started a military aerospace company in 1998, with investments from Koch Industries and Bain & Company (Romney's old firm). Pompeo sold his interest in Nex-Tech Aerospace in 2006 and became president of Sentry International, an oilfield equipment manufacturer and partner of Koch Industries.

Pompeo was elected to represent Kansas' 4th congressional district in 2010, then Trump named him head of the CIA in 2017 and SoS in 2018. Now he finds himself deeply enmeshed in Trump's endless web of corruption and lies. Like everyone who comes into contact with Trump, I hope Pompeo ends up impeached, indicted and in prison, with his reputation completely ruined.

He is the scariest, most repulsive man on the planet. The anger and hatred just ooze from every pore.

and pompeo is an asshole who's in the trump administration.

She's acres smarter than him.

who responded immediately: 'I do not work for the DNC, I am an independent reporter,' and went on with her very good interview.

To: “It’s like you’re working for the DNC”, the correct response is:

“And you’re lucky I’m not working for the U.S. Attorneys office.”

"No, I work for the truth."

Everything PompASS has touched in Departments and Agencies he ran after being appointed by tRUMP. Including ALL personnel changes and appointments he made, which should immediately be undone and remedied with appropriate good long standing public servants not compromised by the toxic poison that was unleashed in the U.S. Government tRUMP and his republican players.

Now that the damn is breaking, don't let the truth go away quietly for all those who were the henchmen and those who went along to protect their personal retirement accounts. Because their Oath ordered them to do the very opposite. Their choice was made when they failed to uphold their duty to the Constitution, which didn't say a damn thing about their retirement account or career!

He doesn't support the right wing agenda because he's stupid or crazy (first in his class at West Point). He's just a bad fucking person. And, sadly, we must acknowledge that that's what we're dealing with on a massive scale. Republicans aren't simply people with a different opinion about the role of government or tax rates. We're dealing with horrible, horrible people. We're dealing with deplorables (and to a much greater extent than Hillary graciously stated).
