Pompeo Skips Hearing On Soleimani Strike | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
Mike would have just lied again. This administration is nothing but crap.
bellamoon Trump and the GOP are in total contempt of the constitution and of the American people
@Onair Carna you responded to “juicyRoot?” think about it
Crystal Giddens – great channel content! (None)
Republicans are dictators. They do what they want, not what the constitution says they should do.
@Crystal Giddens ok..
@aaron rogers DNC Chair Flees When Asked About Bernie Campaign Staffer Planning Riots
@Crystal Giddens um.. I didn’t ask
@aaron rogers – Just be glad she hasn’t posted her ‘infowack’ video-links…yet. 🙄
@CynAnne1 😆
Pompeo..another trump boot licker…
@CynAnne1 Nice projection from a butt hurt Leftist
Sorry, S M…but *everyone* can read #45’s drivel if they want to…it’s *still there* on his ‘twittyfeed’, grammar-mangled and full of “!” symbols.
#45 – *SO* embarrassing for America… 😒
@CynAnne1 A successful Trump being crass and bombastic and not a smooth talker is “embarrassing” but Obama going on a “apology tour” dishing our Country was cool with you . And you wonder why your stuck in the losers bracket
@Mainely ya America winning is such a bummer lol
@Evan Horn Putin lives in your head along with Trump
This country needs to do the right thing and protect our democracy by voted out the corrupt republican party and the trump presidency

Spam-posting Crystal’s spam-posting… *again.* 🙄
The history books are on Trump’s side. Russia hoax, Kavanaugh, the Dem savior Avenatti’s lies, best economy ever, best job market, highest minority employment, and how is that WWIII coming? Dems have 0 to show.
Suuuuuure, Aruba… 🙄
*Just like* Jim Comey was indicted.
*Just like* John Podesta was indicted.
*Just like* Greg Craig was convicted.
Meanwhile…
#45’s *’accrued’ FOUR disbarred lawyers, SIX former employees who are convicted felons and, at last count, FIVE ‘administration members’ with “Contempt Citations” now ON their resumes.*
And we won’t even *mention* #45’s *numerous* ‘financial fiascos’… 💸😏💸
Incredibly disrespectful and insulting.
But Hillary saying “what difference does it make ” was totally excusable huh
@S M no it was not but that is totally another issue and WHY she is not president so if you dont mind TRY STICKING TO THIS CRISES and stop diverting the issue POMPEO AND TRUMP make Hillary look like Mother TERESA and we already know shes a crook too move on already and help us fix THIS ISSUE FOOL shes already been dealt with
CNN Calls The Police On Infowars
Meanwhile… 💸

“Sad!” 😏
Do they really think Dems/Independent’s will not remember this when we take back power? Can’t wait to see them gnawing off their right arms in fury when karma bites them in the @$$.
Impeachment started out with 52% backing from independents and now it’s 38%. Between the Russia hoax, marches for feelings, Kavanaugh lies, and impeachment rational people are just done with it.
If the Marxist/Islamist democrat party wins I for one will declare war on you.
@Fermis paradox1 You must mean trumps but buddies the saudis who attacked us and he loves playing golf with and renting tower space to.
Pompeo is another dirty lair like the rest of the Rats 🐁, They can’t even get their lies Straight, Because everyone says something different, And especially the main leader Trump ! 🤢
@CynAnne1 YOU’RE SO RIGHT ! 😠🙏🏼👍🏻
ma,ma gee’s gospel should never be in government ever
Gee too bad he was so busy.
Seems he isn’t too busy to hit all the news circuits with his grandstanding for 45 trying to throw the scent off his impeachment woes.
All of them (the Trump swamp monsters) need to go.
Jeff
Iran deal gave money to Iran and it was used to fund terrorism and proxy wars. That’s terrible foreign policy. Iran’s top general got killed and it seems nothing has happened.
Oak Tree that sounds like a threat to me.
Logan McLean Trump will not leave office without starting World War III.
Fermis paradox1 everything sounds like a threat to snowflakes like you. For example: “EMAIL!!!”
AND…
The corruption continues with the trump administration.
VOTE THEM OUT! SOON…
Sumumma Bish AND DONT forget the Trump family….their motto “incest is best”… just look at Eric. When i look at the photo above, to me they all look constipated ….or are planning their escape!.
If you have any proof of that, you should tell Nancy Pelosi. She’s been looking for something …. anything …. for years and still doesn’t have squat. Except for you gullible loser clowns, but nobody cares what you idiots believe because you’e always wrong.
@Sux_2_B_U LMFAO, YOU TRUMPETS HAVE BEEN BLOWING TRUMP HOT AIR SO MUCH IT IS 70 DEGREE IN JANUARY, IN THE NE.
@may wilson That’s idiotic, you might as well tattoo “I am a moron” to your forehead if you’re going to post that infantile crap. But let’s exchange facts, like intelligent adults. I’ll go first. Here are mine: https://www.whitehouse.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/
Got caught in a lie,compounded t by lying again.didn’t want to get caught again
Great so maybe you can tell me what the Iranianian planner of 100s of attacks General Soleimani and his staff were doing in Baghdad, Iraq meeting with militant commanders? Dems must know.
@SPZ Aruba don’t know and neither do you.
@Debbie Charron exactly. So if he’s lying what’s the truth. Who knows, but the biggest violent destabilizer of Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen is gone. And that’s not a bad thing.
This stonewalling has to stop they need to be held accountable these are f_____g gangsters 😎😎😎👺👹👹🖕
sorry, but the dems don’t fight hard enough to hold gop accountable for anything. You have an impeachment with the elderly democrat running the judicial hearings half falling asleep while the republican party has people fighting for them that look all coked up. You have this guy with no emotion talking about pompeo not showing up..should have subpoenaed him to begin with, and even then he won’t show up…and you will get the same no energy response. You have a filthy rich 80 yo woman running the house refusing to give up power even though it hurts the democrats…when the dems in the house get the majority, its when the republicans are so bad that dems win in spite of pelosi not because..over 15 years of this nonsense…so no, no one will ever hold republicans accountable…they lied into the iraq war and dems didn’t hold anyone accountable for the did they? whats worse then that.?
I agree that Pelosi is dragging her feet and that Democrats sunk the opportunity to push a deal with Iran so that they could push their War Powers dig on Trump. But Pelosi is the speaker, so what can you do?
Remember the Benghazi hearings? Pompeo is a weak man for not showing up. Of course he could go on Fox for some slow pitch softball.
Lithuanian Giant
yep.
hillary showed up and took grillings from congress.
plumpeo only runs away.
In 2016, Hillary *warned America* that #45 *would* inevitably treat our nation *just like* his ‘Foundation’…or one of his *many* failed marriages.
She was 💯 *correct* … 🤨
And someday Americains will wonder how did the dictators take over. It’s just Crazy Stupid.
War criminal Mike Pompeo evading and obstructing Congress, lock him up!
It appears there are very few if any Republicans left that haven’t betrayed America and turned Traitor.
Jeremy Backup
they all deserve hanging.
Mike Pompeo is a stain on West Point, on the U.S. Army, on the State of Kansas, and on America.
What a embarrassment
He’s also a stain on his (and mine) birthplace: Orange, CA. It’s an embarrassment to be born in the same place as him.
Pompeo is nothing but a snake in human form! He’s also a coward when he is put on the spot and under oath! They all think they can hide
Why, I’m absolutely shocked that a man who’s *lied repeatedly* to the American public wouldn’t want to be questioned *under oath* …
‘Shocked’, I tell you. 🙄
@Sux_2_B_U All ies, they’re all liars, this whole administration is, facts matter.
Oath is nothing for liars, like it meant something but actually nothing. Fact is fake when they confronted by fact proving their lies.
@Sux_2_B_U you need a proof of one lie? Let’s chant it, WHO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL???
There you go 😂😂😂
CynAnne1
I’m shocked too, but someone’s got to present MSNBC news 😄lying is mandatory, get over it !!
@skunkjobb – And *even Fox ‘News’* admitted *#45’s ‘GUILTY as sin’* and *should’ve been charged* …👎😏👎
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/462962-foxs-napolitano-trump-already-confessed-to-a-crime
*Again* :
https://theweek.com/speedreads/837525/fox-news-andrew-napolitano-says-trump-committed-obstruction-justice-least-halfdozen-times
He didn’t show up because when confronted with his lies, he turns into a coward. Simple.
He feels entitled to do whatever the f#ck he wants. Just another Trump @ss kissing rat.
When you can’t keep your lie straight, it’s usually best to just avoid the situation all together.
