Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was famously interviewed publicly for 11 hours as part of the Benghazi probe. Then-Congressman Pompeo sat on the select committee that investigated the matter. Pompeo, meanwhile, has [not complied with a House subpoena for documents in the impeachment inquiry.

I think that says pretty much everything that needs to be said in counterpoint.

“They have not let State Department lawyers be part of these hearings.”

“That’s unheard of,” the secretary added


Departmental lawyers in the room? Perhaps it’s unheard of because it (a) they didn’t ask and (b) it’s not normal procedure anyway.

Pompeo: Dems need to allow us to cover this up better.

Did he actually dispute what was said during the dispositions? Or did he just make complaints about the process?
