US State Dept Secretary Pompeo is on Putins State TV: I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. How patriotic!

Never mind it being true, he's the Secretary of State of the United States of America, on PutinVision, bashing our intelligence agencies.
This is NOT normal.

While representing the American people.
They are so base they admit shit openly and then get all offended at offended Democrats.

(4,671 posts)of our enemy, he dares to tell the world they/we got away with lies, cheating, and stealing...our collective myths and individual/national corruptive "mistakes", even when caught? - thus the fabric of America is damaged and weakened by an ultimate lack of belief in what is right and good? That is the very nature of treason! Speaking with the forked tongue of the Serpent to aid and abett evil?
All values of decency for sale? All actions, chosen in freedom, free or not, acceptable because there is no statute nor process against it
GOP = Persons of NO SHAME! NO REMORSE! - NO FORGIVENESS.

(7,604 posts)He knew how this would play in Russia and elsewhere.
He knew it would be embarrassing to the US and would diminish the US status worldwide.
So why did he do it?
Because Trump TOLD HIM TO DO IT!
Is Trump a Russian agent who was told by Putin to demean the USIC?
The fact that this is a possible explanation should be alarming to us all.
So... is Trump a danger to national security?
Happy New Year.

(58,785 posts)And why in hell is Pompeo having to go personally to Ukraine in the middle of this mess? Someone was pointing out last night that, especially because of national security issues, SoS's NEVER get involved in electoral politics (defense and treasury secs big no as well). This one's in way, way over his head.
Wonder what Kansas voters are thinking of their wannabe senator. He claims to not be interested
