“You are co-conspirators and traitors to the country. You will resign or be charged within months. “
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo comes under fire after responding to a letter from the House Foreign Affairs Committee asking State Department officials to sit down to testify as they initiate impeachment proceedings against his boss, President Donald Trump.
Pompeo, currently in Italy with former Trump White House official, conspiracy theorist (and suspected neo-Nazi) Sebastian Gorka |As they worked to undermine more than a dozen CIA and FBI investigations into President Trump, they decided to heavily arm the Democrats. Attorney General Bill Barr was there on the same mission last week, and it wasn’t his first time doing this.
The secretary forbade his officers to be dismissed even though he had no legal basis or basis to do so. And he falsely accused the Democrats of attempting to intimidate and “harass” State Department officials.
(It’s important to note that Pompeo was among the Republican Congressmen who forced Hillary Clinton to testify before Congress for more than 11 hours in Benghazi, an investigation laden with her conspiracy theory.)
As reported by the Washington Post on Tuesday, Pompeo and Barr are “increasingly involved in the impeachment investigation.”
Pompeo tweeted his two-page letter and was instantly ridiculed, ridiculed, and cursed.
Among those who decided not to accept Pompeo’s smug authoritarianism and bullying was Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), who rightly told the Secretary of State he was caught in the act.
Look, you were caught red-handed trying to merge the State Department and the presidential re-election campaign. I understand Trump wants you to attack all the time, but history will harshly judge those who are retreating deep into Trump’s bunker right now. https://t.co/Z9M6iMXBz3

I’m worried about the sec. of State undermines our intelligence, lied about knowing Trump’s #UkraineShakedown phone call, and is in Italy with a Nazi sympathizer.
Even with the #BullyInChief as his boss, his claims of being bullied are really funny. #ImpeachTrumpPenceBarrPompeo

I don’t remember then-Congressman Pompeo having the same concerns when he led the hillside witch hunt in Benghazi that targeted numerous career FSOs. https://t.co/wDv81cotTg

Pompeo’s State Dept was on the news two days ago for “investigating the email records of dozens of current and former senior State Dept officials who sent messages to the Sec of State Clinton’s private email “.
The lack of self-esteem is just amazing. https://t.co/q3PrJFMTFX https://t.co/zqb5wNqrWp

The guy who just announced an investigation into 7 year old work emails says a congressional investigation into an abuse of power by the president he attended two months ago is “bullying”?
