Pompeo asked to explain why he wanted inspector general fired

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended his push to have his department's inspector general fired, saying he "should have done it some time ago," but refused to explain his reasoning for recommending President Donald Trump remove Steve Linick from his job.
When pressed to explain why he lobbied to have the independent watchdog fired, Pompeo refused to elaborate, saying only that he would "share with the appropriate people." He also said claims that he pushed for Linick's ouster in retaliation for the watchdog's probes into some of his activities and his use of the office are "patently false."

  1. See what he did there? He took all three allegations, roll them up in 1 to make it look extremely ridiculous and then dismissed it.

    1. One of the worst denial performances I’ve seen in a long time, no Oscar for Mike…

    2. He needs to go back to strawman school, and also get the gaslight fuel refilled.
      A truly pathetic display of the contemptuous arrogance he’s known for.

    1. Much the same way how you tell if Trump or his many press secretaries are lying.

    1. Look at him when he is addressing the world,always a crooked intentions I s in his speeches point blank .

    2. Tingle Matthews I’m only friends with people who’s channels and brains have content. That leaves you out on both fronts.

    1. Which is EXACTLY what Obama did when he first came to office. But everyone is suffering from short memories and moral relativism.

  2. 2:15 This is what it looks like when a fish gets out of water and is just flailing about, trying to get back in it. But it’s just too late. LOL!🤣

  3. Trump and Pompeo should show the evidence to the public already. Get a doctor to carve out their brains so we can see it.

    1. @Jason what?
      I like to call it not brainwashed by Fox News. Or mentally sane. Or… idk the list goes on.

    2. @Jason what? Sick like not remembering that he was on a phone call? That kind of sick? I love how you asswipes are selective in your outrage.

  4. It’s amazing that trump straight up told us he didn’t know the IG he fired or why he was firing him except that pompeo told him to fire him .
    THAT right there is republican leadership . The party of law& order . the party of accountability . Yeah right .

    1. As opposed to the party who are letting criminals out of prison for fear of CV, and then locking people up for taking their kids to the park. Dems know so much more about law and order.

    2. @Chris Hewitt Trumpliings are such simpletons; they’re as ignorant as dirt and damned proud of it!

    1. TOTALLY! And posturing with a head tilt upward from his playbook is a good sign that BS is gonna fly from his mouth (as he’s also trying to control his temper considering the reporter got him).

  5. And never trust a man with a “crooked smile” they say….”truth will come around one day and wipe the smile away”.

    1. Wow, from a crooked smile you can tell what a person has been his whole life ?

      Remind me to bet the opposite of what your betting in Vegas. I’m betting you think Hillary will win again in 2020, right. ?

      Keep laughing I’m taking it all in.

    1. @marc marinaccivoted out they’ll go to prison in droves….just watch.

      That or someone hunts them down one by one. LOL which I doubt.

    2. They think they are above the law and Barr is encouraging or shall we say, supporting, their bad behaviour.

    3. He’s ex CIA. You honestly think people believe you had no idea you were being investigated. 😔SMH😔 don’t think so Pompeo, “try again” buddy

  6. Friends: Let’s vote these crooks out in November. We need a groundswell of votes to end their dictatorship.

    1. Triandis Crim yea blue the ones showing their true colors as baby tyrants letting out convicted criminals during a pandemic and arresting people at parks and beaches lol…makes alot of sense

    2. @Satan’s Herbalist Having to choiose between criminal organizations is tough. In terms of least damage inflicted, I have to select The Gay Mafia. The added benefit of bad-guy repellent or at least the homophobic ones, was a consideration.

    3. As a Chinese, I have to admit that trump win 2016 was what I want, who dont want a fool as your competitor?But this crazy narcissist shows he can hurt china by hurt his country 2x…..And US citizens life is life, when the death number grows, I do feel heartbroken…GO BULE 2020!Although we are from different countries, have different thoughts,go choose a normal guy,just dont let more life fade away

    4. @MR. STEEL we have no problem with those folks corruption, no issue if you are corrupt. No problem at all because neither your name nor any of the names you mentioned will be on the ballot. Lol
