MARIE YOVANOVITCH GOT SMEARED. WHERE WAS MIKE POMPEO?
November 18, 2019
And now, Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo is also not backing up his team in what former Deputy Secretary of State William Burns has described as an act of "profound political cowardice."
FIRED INSPECTOR GENERAL SAYS HE TOLD AIDES ABOUT POMPEO PROBE SO THAT THEY ‘WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED’

Linick said he first became aware of potential problems with the Pompeos’ use of government resources last year. While he refused to specify those issues, media reports have said they included the use of government-paid personnel to undertake tasks such as picking up dry cleaning and walking the dog and funds expended for Susan Pompeo to accompany her husband on government-paid travel.
POMPEO PROMISES 'A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO A SECOND TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'
November 10, 2020
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is insisting that the U.S. election has not been decided. He also predicted that President Trump will prevail, backing Trump's reluctance to begin the transition to President-elect Joe Biden's administration.
"There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration," Pompeo said during a briefing Tuesday. "All right? We're ready."
MIKE POMPEO’S REIGN OF ERROR COMES TO AN END WITH AN ‘ASSAULT ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT’
January 13, 2021
Pompeo called for VOA to abandon its role as a provider of fact-based journalism to become America’s cheerleader instead. He made no mention of the riot at the U.S. Capitol, an omission that drew the attention of a VOA journalist.
“Mr. Secretary, do you regret saying there will be a second Trump administration?” asked VOA reporter Patsy Widakuswara as the secretary left the building.
Pompeo didn’t answer, as is his wont. Just a few hours later, though, Widakuswara was reassigned from her post at the White House.
POMPEO CLINGS TO TRUMP’S LEGACY WITH AN EYE TOWARD INHERITING THE MAGA BASE
January 18, 2021
To independent observers, the remarks are wildly tone-deaf and reinforce Pompeo’s status as one of the most partisan secretaries of state in modern U.S. history. While Pompeo claims Americans have been “safer” under Trump’s watch, the coronavirus death toll in the United States is fast approaching 400,000, with more than 3,000 Americans dying daily. Pompeo’s promotion of “founding ideals” and the projection of U.S. “values” abroad came as the president attempted to subvert results of a democratic election, a bedrock of the United States’ global image.
One of the few times Pompeo expressed annoyance at criticism of his closeness to Trump came with the publication of a New Yorker profile quoting an unnamed U.S. ambassador saying Pompeo was like a “heat-seeking missile for Trump’s ass.”
POMPEO TWEET: MULTICULTURALISM IS BAD
January 19, 2021
"Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they're not who America is. They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker."
