Until the coronavirus shut them down in March, Sec. Pompeo and his wife held elaborate, unpublicized gatherings known as "Madison Dinners" regularly in historic Diplomatic Reception Rooms on the government's dime.
Officials involved in carrying out the dinners say all the information collected by the State Dept. during the invitation process, including the names and contact information for potential guests, is emailed back and forth to Susan Pompeo's private Gmail account.

Petty, yes...but I am sick to death of these grifters.

Oh that's right, they never really gave a shit about the emails. It was just red meat BS - as usual.

Nobody has to dig too deep, it is all out in the open, just so presidential doncha know? Fat bastard Mike, and his fat wife are so full of their own importance, it hurts. Do they have kids?
