Pompeo Admits He Was On Call With Ukraine, Is Now A Fact Witness In Impeachment

[Biff_Poindexter]

Pompeo said he had NO knowledge of the whistle-blower complaint -- yea, he may have listened in on the call and made everyone feel he didn't know what was going on....

But Pompeo is a masterful tactician and now the Dems have walked into his trap.....

 

[Yarddog]

He’s repeatedly feigned ignorance about both the complaint and its contents. But in front of the international press on Wednesday, Pompeo was forced to admit what had already become public knowledge the day before: that he was present for the phone call.

That also means that anything Pompeo does to prevent State Department officials from testifying is a direct and overt instance of obstruction, protecting not just Trump but himself too from potential impeachment and criminal charges.

He's got to come back sometime.

If the transcript was so damning (which it wasn't) then why do the democrats need to use a second hand whistle blower? why couldn't one of the people standing around listening to the secret phone call be the whistle blower if they are interested in "saving the nation"? ... or is this all because its another set up in progress?
And why did the whistle blower get all the details wrong? and why did Schiff have to get up there and twist everything into what he wished the transcript said?

The transcript has been released for weeks now Lol
You are a fact witness to lol

What has the release of the transcript got to do with :
Sunday: Pompeo told Martha Raddatz he had no knowledge of the conversation
Tuesday: Pompeo admits he lied and that he was in on the call
What the **** is wrong with you?
Trump, Pompeo, Giuliani, Miller, Graham ALL lied.

How about you provide quotes and a link to that conversation, I think you're lying.

Colbert lit this guy up last night.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo finally confirmed that he was on the phone call, days after evading questions about what he knew of the call that has sparked a congressional investigation and an impeachment inquiry.

"I was on the phone call," he said during a news conference in Rome on Wednesday.

During the call, Trump repeatedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to work with Rudy Giuliani to investigate his political opponents, which was part of the basis for a whistle-blower complaint from a U.S. intelligence official.

Pompeo had previously dodged questions about the call. On ABC's "This Week" on Sept. 22 he told co-anchor Martha Raddatz, "You just gave me a report about a whistle-blower complaint, none of which I've seen." During a press conference at the U.N. General Assembly last Thursday, he said he had only read "the first couple of paragraphs" of the complaint, which had been released that day.

The Wall Street Journal on Monday first reported he was on the call.

This is why Republicans hate the media or press. It tells on them. Thank god for our free media. Without it we'd be Russia.

You can watch Colbert's hilarious monologue here Stephen Colbert on Trump’s inner circle feeling the pressure

Ok, again, Pompeo was on the phone call....




"Lost amid the cacophony of condemnation of Trump is the fact that the Criminal Division of the Justice Department examined the official record of the Trump-Zelensky telephone call and concluded there was no crime, not even a violation of campaign finance laws. “All relevant components of the Department agreed with this legal conclusion,” said the Justice Department."

What part of that do you NOT understand?

.

Trump has appointed his cronies to the Justice Department too. They are just as in on this and in trouble as Trump is.

Remember Trump said the FBI and Justice Department were crooked? Well, now he is right. They are crooked now.

What's the point? He acted like he was just hearing about the story and it turns out he was in on the call? Where's is your point other than your head?

Bobo is just pissed because no one calls them

Yea yea yea, no quid pro quo. All the right's arguments are bullshit but I guess if they get to put 1 Trumpbot on the jury it'll be hung.

So here is what this is all about. This is about holding Trump accountable. The House thinks his offenses are impeachable ones and so do most Americans. So it's good they are going to hold him accountable. Everyone wins here. This will help Trump, according to Trump. This is what we want. So everyone should be happy.

And Trump will not be impeached in the Senate so he won't be thrown out of office.

But he will lose 2020, maybe.

Why not just ask the Prime Minister of Ukraine to come testify? Seems a simple enough solution . . .

Probably because the House Of Representatives doesn't want to be told to "Go **** Yourselves" by a foreign leader, it's rather embarrassing for the Congress Critters when shit like that happens.

They could ask for a sworn affidavit to the facts?

If you were a foreign leader would you cooperate with the douche bags in the U.S. Congress and place yourself in the middle of this internecine partisan conflict? It's all potential downside and no upside.

Heck, I'm a U.S. Citizen and I'd tell Congress to go **** themselves if they presented me with such a request.

That's true.

OTH, if I were the POTUS of the U.S., and I thought the President of the Ukrain either had a secretary or a someone who was transcribbing the converstation on their end?


I might cordially request their transcription if they have one as a secondary cross check on the facts.


. . . I, personally, am only ever interested in the facts.

The fact that you're only ever interested in the facts explains why you think your proposal is feasible.

These are politicians we're talking about here, the LAST thing they're interested in is the facts, they're only worried about perception because perception is what underpins their power and their chances of hanging on to it.

As a politician putting yourself anywhere near the center of a partisan conflict in a foreign country isn't a good way to maintain positive perception of those you wish to fool.. er..umm..convince to allow you to maintain power.

Politicians are a sub-species of homo sapiens that lack conscience, integrity, empathy and scruples.
