“I’ve watched my life take turns that one would never have expected, but it’s not something I want to do,” the secretary of state responded. “I want to stay here and continue to perform the mission that I’m serving President Trump and, I hope, doing a good term for the American people as well.”
Mister Secretary, your good term has not yet started. But it will.
“I have watched my life take turns…” That is really a weird thing for an ambitious man like Pompeo to say. Is he like a fish in churning waters being pushed this way and that by forces beyond its control? What a fraud!
I do think that Giuliani and Pompeo are squaring up to fight. I wonder if Pompeo has more executive privilege cover if he stays in his SoS job. Does leaving that position weaken his response to the House or State of NY subpoena that is coming?
“It’s my intention to continue to stay and serve as President Trump’s secretary of state."
Which means: I can’t wait to get the eff out of here, but I don’t dare go until Trumpp tells me when and tells me the reason I should give for my departure.
