Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is reportedly planning to resign and run for a U.S. Senate seat in Kansas in the 2020 elections, according to sources cited by Time. The secretary of state originally planned to resign sometime in the spring of next year, but the impeachment inquiry and his relationship with President Trump have reportedly caused him to revise his timing. Now, Pompeo says he’ll exit the administration when he can make the “smoothest possible exit,” Time reports. There is reportedly no indication that Trump is aware of Pompeo’s plans, and Pompeo has claimed he has no intention of running in the 2020 race. This comes after Trump called out Pompeo in late October, claiming he made a mistake in hiring U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor—who has testified before Congress in the impeachment inquiry. “Everybody makes mistakes,” Trump said of Pompeo’s move.

1. His future in politics after trump is toast

Like others before him have had happened to them. He thinks he'll escape justice for his crimes for trump, he won't.

2. Pompeo's name should be spelled Pompous.

I understand he and his wife have his career all planned out. Sorry, Pompous. I think Trump just took care of that. You are a joke.

3. Maybe put some low rolling-resistence tires on the bus?

4. Remember, if he runs for Senate, its in Kansas.

They don't think too good, there.

5. He'll probably win in Kansas.

Republicans do not want Kobach, so they’ll get behind Pompeo. And Kansas voters are too ill informed to see how the Republican Party has screwed them over for decades.

6. He can have a smooth exit in one flush.

7. Pompeo is firmly tied to the trump tar baby and he aint getting free of it, ever

all trump touches turns to crap

8. I recommend a discrete scupper and mooring line

as used by all discerning rats if they think they can get to shore.

9. Of course he is. Last man on this sinking ship will be Pence.

His job will be to pardon Trump--then spend the rest of his life basking in the glow of being a "former President"--for about two minutes a la Gerald Ford.

Trump will always blame anyone else, but as Pelosi said--Trump will self-Impeach!!


Trump has fumed for weeks that Mike Pompeo is responsible for hiring officials whose testimony threatens to bring down his presidency. Trump confronted Pompeo last month about what he believed was a lackluster effort by Pompeo to block their testimony.
