Another top Trump official being deposed by Jan. 6 panel

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is meeting with the January 6 committee, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. The deposition will be conducted virtually, the source added. The panel has shown an increased interest in members of former President Donald Trump's Cabinet, particularly regarding conversations among Cabinet members about invoking the 25th Amendment after January 6, and the committee's focus in the Pompeo interview is expected to be on the 25th Amendment, the source said. #CNN #News

  1. People have forgotten that the candidate trotted out “If I lose, the election was stolen” for the first time before the 2016 election. This was a retread in 2020.

  2. During a search of Trump’s house, a parachute, a GTO badge (Ready for Labor Defense), a pioneer tie, a padded jacket, a balalaika, a tuft of bear hair and three Peasant Woman magazines from 1937 were found 😂

  3. My guess is that they sat Trump down and told him straight up that if he didn’t call off his supporters assaulting the Capitol they were going to remove him with the 25th Amendment.

    1. Pretty sure when criminals were burning and looting the vice president started a fund to bail out rapists and thieves. How’s that not inviting and inciting. They’ll do what they do right? You guys have some serious double standard issues 😂

    2. @Let’sgo Brandon
      Hang tight Brandon, gas is going to get cheaper. It’s only .25 cents per gallon difference between Trumps high gas prices and what they currently are in the Midwest. By the time November hits it will be down the the same average as Trumps.

  4. Would have been nice if all these high-ranking officials testified at the Impeachment trial, instead of saving all the info for their books.

    1. @Brian 👈. No we don’t need a green purple or yellow new deal. We need to be energy independent and vote the democrats out.

  5. Pompeo is a West Point graduate who set aside his various oaths because he has become a scoundrel.

  6. He invited
    He incited
    They rioted
    Then he denied it
    Even though he’d implied it
    Now he MUST be indicted

    1. @William Jones lol! I understand far better and more than you and your desperately incessant posting of a repetitiously bad poem everywhere.
      I also understand that your responding to me provides me with the ability to mute you and never see your repetitiously lame poem again. Thank you.

    1. @KarlBunker what are you talking about? Can you tell me what me what I said that you are referring to please?

    2. @KarlBunker I apologize I didn’t know you were a pro. What do you charge an hour. Do you do watersports and is a handy behind a Denny’s dumpster extra?

  7. Remember after the election Pompeo said they are working on a smooth transition to another Trump presidency. Boy I want to hear him speak.

    1. …under oath. 🙂 Oops. You mean there’s a price for lying there. FIRST Amendment: I can lie like hell. Oh, go to jail if I do so before the court? FIFTH Amendment: I forgot everything.

  8. Pompeo? You mean the guy who publicly commented, at an official press conference, that there would be a smooth transition to a second Trump term, despite the fact that Trump had just lost his reelection bid? What could THAT guy possibly know about the insurrection? 🙄

    1. @Me MyselfandI After the blatant dishonesty of Trump, no Con has the moral standing to threaten anyone with Hell.

  9. I love how everyone involved in these things are mutli millionaires that decide to do a deep unforgiving crimes that could ruin them in mutliple ways (allegedly) but dont stop and think: “hey maybe i should buy a little bullshit burner phone, incase someone subpoenas my texts messages.”

    1. trump did in fact use burner phones on Jan 6. There is a 7 hour period where he did not use ANY phone, text or email on his regular phones or computer. Have you EVER known trump to go hours without blabbing about something?!?

  10. Maybe they want to talk to him about his public statement in Nov 2020 when he told the world, during a live recording, that “there will be a “smooth transition to a SECOND Trump administration” just days after Joe Biden was announced as president-elect.

    Mr Pompeo made the comments when asked by reporters if the State Department was engaging with the Biden transition team.

  11. Pompeo last statement I saw was before Jan 6 when he said the “continuance of Trymps presidency, despite his loss? Just as involved as Graham only he avoided scrutiny. Pompeo was up to his neck in his involvement with the former now criminally scrutinized president.

  12. Regarding the Jones phone records and other materials accidentally turned over to the Sandy Hook parents’ attorney, you left out a very important fact that the judge cited when making her rulings on those materials. The defense attorney was informed immediately that the link to the digital documents was likely an error, but failed to follow the process set forth in Texas law to get those documents protected and deleted by the plaintiffs after the fact. The phone records are a small part of a much larger trove of documents related to the case. The judge also indicated correctly that most of the documents turned over would NOT be subject to privilege and should have been turned over more than a year prior. The very records the Jan. 6 committee is likely interested in would almost certainly not be covered by attorney-client privilege, and even if they were, the privilege, under Texas law, is waived when they are turned over as discovery if the defense does not follow the procedure for reclaiming the privilege and protected them. This is disbarment-level incompetence, and Jones is royally screwed now. My understanding is that Roger Stone, Tucker Carlson and the other usual suspects are pretty nervous about what’s in those texts.

  13. He’s just avoiding a contempt of Congress charge.
    He’ll plead the fifth.
    But that’s ok , it’ll just solidify the proof they have.
    They don’t need his testimony, pleading the fifth will say it all without saying anything.
