Pompeo meets with Trump every damn day. He’s undoubtedly filling Trump in on the intel relevant to his treason.
Question I have is whether those at the CIA Counterintelligence Mission Center reveal the whole enchilada to Pompeo. Could they share it with Mueller but not Pompeo?
As a four term congressman I’m “trusting” that self-preservation guides his actions. Integrity doesn’t enter into it, I assure you.
Trump’s hires have backfired before.
My impression of Mike Pompeo is that he´s such a partisan hack and Trump loyalist that he makes Jeff Sessions look like Eliot Richardson in the ethics department. But he´s appeared that way from the beginning, so I´d lean to your ¨CIA uncover(ing) new information potentially damaging Trump¨ scenario.
At any rate, it´s a big enough story that il´ll get through Trump´s bubble, and the idea that it will cause him heartburn is swell.
The next step is to find out what the CIA has found out. Mueller already knows. Senate and House committees might know. We’d like to know. And when Trump finds out (if Pompeo has not already told him), then prepare for even more crazy distractions and another tweet-storm of grievances.
The tail is worried about the Dog. Is that just about the gist of it?
The way I see it, Trounce is so boxed in that even if he’s getting info fed to him, any reaction he makes will be furtherance of the crime(s).
The leakers are leaking and dumbass Trumpp basically rats himself out with regularity.
In fact, give him info and let him bury himself even further. There is no way out at this point and if Pompeo and the like want to go down with the tugboat, let them.
I understand this concern. As far as I know, Pompeo does not have a professional background in intelligence – I seem to recall he was on the Ben Ghazi committee, FWIW.
IOW, just a political appointee selected on the basis of personal loyalty and not experience or expertise.
Also, I read somewhere that he gives Trump the Daily Presidential Briefing. Apparently he did that in the beginning even with now-disgraced Mike Flynn in the same room
