@magnifier661 Mags, calling mags. We need your spin on this and to tell us it's all on the up and up. At least he tried learning from trump, if someone is breathing down your throat and details of corruption at stake then have them fired.
LOL at the notion that if trump had known, he would have fired Pompeo. Trump 'knew' and instead he fired the investigator; that's the direction his corruption always runs
The Supreme Court isn't even pretending neutrality any more. When Pompeo was CIA Director under Trump prior to his current gig, his wife, not a CIA employee, had her own office at CIA headquarters with staff and security, paid by taxpayers. As she had no duties the staff was purely for her personal use. The best people!
