Pompeo Calls Ukraine Inquiry 'A Silly Gotcha Game' But Says He'll Be 'Responsive'
Source: NPR
Earlier in the week, Democratic leaders of the impeachment inquiry in Congress accused Pompeo of "stonewalling" their investigation by refusing to turn over documents. Congressional investigators issued a subpoena for these documents on Sept. 27, and set a deadline of Friday, Oct. 4 for turning them over. At a press conference in Athens Saturday, Pompeo said that he'd responded with a letter on Friday evening, which he called "our initial response to the document request."
"We'll obviously do all the things that we're required to do by law," Pompeo said. "We're going to be more responsive than the Obama administration was in the years that preceded this particular Congress."

Thats refusing to comply with a fucking lawful subpoena. He didnt object to the subpoena. He didnt file a protective order or a motion to quash.
Hes fucking lying."
Interestingly enough, the fact that he even bothered is in contrast to most of the rest of them who blew it off and still haven't complied with even an acknowledgement. Am guessing he is trying to manufacture a trap door to escape through after painting himself into a corner with super glue.

You proven to the whole world that you are incapable of governing. Resign.

That's why the President has these terrific security services to keep him informed.
Is Pompeo saying the impeachment process will take less time than the Bengazi investigation?
