Did Pompeo want to leave the CIA?

[kentuck]

I thought he loved that job??

Did Trump get mad at him for sitting with the rest of the Intelligence leaders a couple of weeks ago and saying that Russia definitely attacked our electoral system?

Somehow, I think there is more to the story.

1. He'll do what he's told, and like it

Or else.

2. He's already done what he can over there...

he can do much more damage to the US as Secretary of State.

3. Pompeo was forced to admit russian interference. He was asked about it

But was reluctant to talk about it.

Pompeo is most likely a Putin stooge also.

4. No, this is a big jump up for him. The story is why was Tillerson chosen as SOS ?

5. It's *possible*

that CIA professionals didn't make Pompeo feel at home and cooperate because they knew he's a Koch-funded political toady who couldn't be trusted.

7. I like this optimistic possibility. Let us all hope. -nt

8. Pompeo is perfectly capable of kissing Donny Two-Scoops' ass wherever he's assigned.

He's like a utility infielder.
He can play second base, shortstop, third, whatever you need.
