Mike Pompeo Dismisses ‘Absurd’ Notion That Russia Has Dirt on Trump: He Understands Who We’re Dealing With

by Joseph A. Wulfsohn | 11:59 pm, July 19th, 2018

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sat down with Fox News anchor Shannon Bream and spoke about President Donald Trump’s recent summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Bream began by confronting Pompeo with allegations made by lawmakers that Russia must “have something” on the president based on his behavior at Monday’s press conference, something Pompeo called “absurd.”

“This administration has been relentless in its effort to deter Russia from its bad behavior,” Pompeo said. “We inherited a situation where Russia was running all over the United States. The last few days have been frankly, more heat than light. This administration has been strong in supporting the Ukrainians, strong and making sure that we protect them against Russian expansion in other parts of the world. We all recognize that threat is real. And President Trump has been strong in protecting America from Russian aggression.”

The former CIA Director insisted that Trump “understands” that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and that they have been meddling our democracy “for a long time.”

“He has empowered each of us to make sure that it doesn’t happen again in the 2018 or the 2020 elections here in the United States as well,” Pompeo told Bream.

1. Mike Pompeo! Get your head out of your ass!

Denial is a river in Egypt according to Pompeo.

4. Nah.

He apparently enjoys looking at the world through his navel.

[raging moderate]

2. The Republicons just defunded election security efforts.

Who does Mike Pompeo think he is kidding? The Republicons, and Donald Trump, are practically handing our Republic over to Putin.


We should all be out in the streets, with signs that announce what they did, chanting, "USA! USA! USA! USA!"

[hatrack]

3. Were you in the room in Helsinki? No? Then SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

You don't know a fucking thing.

[Turbineguy]

5. Actually Mikey,

Being a victim of blackmail is better than going along voluntarily.

[Lindsay]

6. Secretary of State

Baghdad Bob.

7. Look me in the eyes and say that... I don't care how well you can lie...

There is only ONE MAIN EXPLANATION for tRump*s behavior... in some way, shape or fashion tRump* is OWNED by Putin*.

1. Putin* is a KGB thug who specialized in recruiting, turning and running foreign assets in East Germany. He is crafty and ruthless, and used to eat people like trump* for breakfast every morning.

2. tRump* is a wreck of a businessman. No matter his bullshit, blather, and bluster, tRump* was pretty much a failure at most things he attempted to do in the business world to work through his "daddy issues." His father bailed him out so many times, it was somewhat of a joke in the New York business world.

3. tRump* is rumored to have (or at least used to have) certain sexual "proclivities." Just a reminder that he was accused by a 13-year old of sexual assault and rape... Yes, the alleged victim withdrew her charge AND WENT INTO HIDING. People tend to do that when threatened by unsavory characters, especially unsavory characters that speak Russian.

8. nobody's buying your shit anymore, mike

It's quite apparent who's the boss, and it ain't trump.

9. Liar liar, pants on fire!

Every one of them in this russian repug cabal is a treason weasel, except maybe Dan Coates. drumpf is the largest criminal fraud and traitor in th group and is doing the exact opposite of Coates lies. drumpf fired every single person on the cybersecurity staff, fired them so they wouldn't interfere with his and russias illegal stealing of elections. He is the largest danger to our country in it's entire history nd continues down this traitorous path to our extinction, his own great (so he thinks) personal profit and Russia's coming glory. The thing with Montenegro was no fake and isn't a small issue. Putin will invade an eastern European country either after he steals the mid-terms for drumpf or the general in 2020 and drumpf will refuse to send troops, violating our NATO agreement and fucking over all of Europe for his and his masters' gain. If these elections are stolen, we can also except Reichstag fire. state of emergency and suspension of the constitution. That is their ultimate plan, Pompeo is aware of the fact that drumpf is actively assisting the conspiracy and like all hypocritical russian repugs, just lies about it and their silence is part of the plan.

10. Reminds me of Norm on Cheers.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Russia Was Running All Over Us?

While you were a big shot at CIA, Mikey? Then what you're telling us is that you were incompetent.

Apology accepted, with reservations.

[matt819]

12. So much for thinking any of these clowns would resign

They are in lock step with trump. They are also either being blackmailed or they truly believe that our future is with Russia, not the liberal, democratic west. These people are far more than enablers. They are co-conspirators. Collaborators. Perhaps the analogy isn't precise, but this government is no different from Vichy France in WWII. You can argue about motivations, but this is a government of collaborators and co-conspirators in the destruction of America.

13. What does Putin have on Pompeo?

And Ryan
And Walker
And McConnell
And Jr.
And Malaria
And Kavanaugh
And Gorsuch
And Judge Kennedy
And Hannity
Well... I could go on.
