Todd is dispassionate at best and rarely does any TP homework, he can let them talk and fact check uponit7771 Jan 2020 #8

He wants Pompeo back on the show. He wants to build a relationship. It's good for business. Even though he knows that Pompeo lies through his teeth, he won't confront Pompeo. Todd is very likely awed by Pompeo's kind of power and doesn't want to challenge Pompeo's status for fear of some kind of retribution. But that's how fascism works.
