Trump: So what if Pompeo made State Department officials walk his dog?



By Oliver Willis -May 18, 2020 6:10 PM

Donald Trump says the country's priorities are 'screwed up.'

Donald Trump said that if State Department employees have been tasked with walking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's dog, he doesn't see a problem with it.

Trump removed State Department inspector general Steve Linick from his position over the weekend. He said that he removed the official at the request of the State Department, noting that Linick had been appointed by President Barack Obama.

Reports have indicated that among the issues Linick was investigating in his role as an independent government watchdog were allegations that Pompeo used government staffers for personal errands, including dog walking, picking up his dry cleaning, and making dinner reservations for him and his wife.

From a May 18 White House roundtable:

Well shit for brains, I and millions of taxpayers, do not think that the state department doggy walking is very good agency name..................and if that POS can't walk his own dog, then maybe he should put it up for adoption............and fraud is still fucking fraud...............

Doing an end-run around Congress, is my vague recollection.

That's pretty damn worthy of investigation.

And that will be the end of that. But her E-mails and Bengazi and a tan suit live on.

It is so hard to get good help these days.

After all, servants are servants and only there to serve those who are to be serviced. That seems to be the theme in the oligarchical scheme.

They don't get that they are serving too. And it is serving a higher purpose which is that first democratic cooperation that is the USA.
