Pompeo, next under the bus?

Ha ha.....State Department just pulled a "Who the fuck does this guy think he is..."
Even if you are a Trump supporter you have to admit that letting Rudy still exist in this administration and be a talking point is just shooting yourself in the foot. He should be fired and retired out to pasture.
 
The ONLY reason this jackass is where he is now is because he was mayor during 9/11. He's a hack. 100%.

It was by serendipity that he was at ground zero when it went down. After that he was given "hero status". BULLSHIT. All of it.

Pompeo Took Part in Ukraine Call, Official Says
Secretary of state listened in on July 25 Trump-Zelensky contact that is center of impeachment inquiry

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was among administration officials who listened in on the July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a senior State Department official said Monday, a disclosure that ties the State Department more closely to the House impeachment inquiry.

Mr. Pompeo’s participation on the call hasn’t been previously reported. Last week, a State Department official disputed the contention in a complaint filed under federal whistleblower laws by a Central Intelligence Agency officer that another top State Department official, counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl, listened in on the call.

House Democrats have opened an inquiry focused on Mr. Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, and lawmakers are focusing on the whistleblower complaint and a record of the call released by the administration.

Mike Pompeo's senior adviser resigns


(CNN)A senior adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has resigned, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN on Thursday.

The adviser, Michael McKinley, had been a diplomat for over three decades and served as ambassador to Peru, Colombia, Afghanistan and, most recently, Brazil until he was appointed to his advising role in May 2018, according to his department biography.

The departure comes as Pompeo faces increasing pressure from House investigators over his recently revealed presence on a phone call in which President Donald Trump pressured Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden -- Trump's potential Democratic rival -- and Biden's son Hunter. There is no evidence of wrongdoing in Ukraine by Joe or Hunter Biden.

The Washington Post first reported McKinley's resignation, adding that it came in the midst of growing discontent at the State Department in response to Pompeo's perceived lack of support for department officials caught up in investigations linked to Ukraine.

Pompeo, who recruited McKinley as an adviser and liaison to the career service, is expected to address McKinley's departure on Friday, according to the Post. McKinley declined to comment to the paper.

A person familiar with the situation told the Post that McKinley saw Pompeo as benefiting the department -- compared to previous Secretary of State Rex Tillerson -- for fostering differing viewpoints and halting Tillerson's freeze on promotions and limits on department employees' spouses working abroad.

The Post also reported that while McKinley was not working directly on Ukraine policy, he disapproved of what he saw as Pompeo's insufficient public support for department officials implicated in Trump's dealings with Ukraine and subsequently called to testify in House Democrats' investigation.

McKinley was involved in several policy spheres, holding key roles in foreign policy efforts in Venezuela, Mexico and Afghanistan, the Post reported -- the last a key international focus after Trump revealed last month that Taliban leaders had been slated to travel to the US for secret peace talks but that the meeting was canceled as he called off peace talks with the militant group entirely.
