Incredible how difficult the truth is for these people. He’s trying to get some spin out in front of Volker and the IG testimony.

Pretending ignorance or lying by omission is still LYING! More Important, as SecSate, Pompeo has failed miserably in his duty to report/alert Congress of his boss’ illegal act(s) AND has already obstructed Congress and obstructed justice by intimidating/tampering of the witnesses!

What a DEADBEAT and UNPATRIOTIC Secretary of State!

I can’t wait to see Volker’s testimony. Never stop hoping for someone from this administration to come clean.

This is beginning to look like a criminal conspiracy by a cabal of traitors and thugs to betray America for personal gain.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo admitted Wednesday that he was on the infamous July 25 phone call with President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the first time after assiduously dodging questions about it…

…throwing into stark relief how slippery Pompeo was in an interview with ABC’s Martha Raddatz on September 22.

When she asked him what he knew of Trump’s conversations with Zelensky, he dodged, saying that he hadn’t read reporting on the whistleblower complaint and made it seem like his only knowledge of the call came from a readout released by the Ukrainians.

“I was on the phone call,”
Unlike the time when I went on National TeeVee and played Dumb
Phone Call? What Phone Call?
Whistle-blower report ? What Whistle-blower report ?
Didn’t pay attention during Watergate did you?
It was the coverup
Now you’ve added obstruction of justice
Smooth Move Sherlock
You sir are a lying sack of shit and should be removed from your position

We know what the administration’s policy in Ukraine is too Mike. It’s called extortion, and you have been remarkably consistent about it.

The urgency with which he wanted to speak to the committees says volumes.

It gives me great satisfaction knowing that these phuckers are constantly saturated with the need to react, pivot, spin and otherwise contort themselves every minute of the day since the Speaker hit the red button on impeachment.

I just woke up from a nightmare about this. Ukraine said yesterday they have agreed to go to the ‘table’ and give Putin what he wants. THIS is what Trump has brought us to.

I do believe we are dealing with treason now and the list of traitors has grown. And now all this talk about ‘civil war’ if ‘they’ don’t get their way.

Traitors, the lot of them. Intemperate I know but I literally don’t know how we can fix this anymore.

But, but, but…Martha didn’t specifically ask him if he was on the phone call.

There’s still a fairly narrow window for good people with the courage and integrity to defy illegal orders. Once the number reaches three or four, the fifth good person will seem a little too convenient and simply will never be heard with the same impact. Obviously, none of the Secretaries or Actings are good people with integrity and it’s unclear whether 5 such people even exist in the White House. If they do, they should know the race is on for second or third place.
