Not news, but cannot be stated often enough and all of the GOP toadies are complicit with his treason.

Democrats in Govt. should begin every statement with this fact.

JMHO

SO ANGRY!

I never thought I'd live to see a former president supporting a Russian invasion and attacking a sitting US president, all while Putin's tanks and aircraft are killing people. Traitor indeed.

Of all the former secretaries of state under Democratic and Republican presidents, only one is taking to cable news and social media during a moment of peril in Europe to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin and chastise the Biden administration. Mike Pompeo has lauded the Russian strongman over the past month as a “talented,” “savvy,” “capable statesman,” offering his praise during a slew of interviews after his political action committee spent $30,000 on improving his performance in media appearances. “He is a very talented statesman. He has lots of gifts,” Pompeo told Fox News in January ...
