Pompeo Won't Say Whether He Owes Yovanovitch An Apology. 'I've Done What's Right'

Why does he owe her an apology? She was reportedly undermining US Policy in Ukraine. Same with the rest of the whining bureaucrats - if you don't work for the bosses goals and objectives don't expect blind loyalty.

That rumor was started by the corrupt, fired prosecutor. No credibility. You folks that think trashing her was the right thing to do have another think coming as does Pompeo.

This Trump administration is the most unprofessional bunch of Morons I have ever seen. If they were part of the private sector they would all be fired and sued for their low life attitudes. They all suck at what they do.

This incident will make the upcoming trip to Ukraine that much more awkward........

Sec. of State Mike Pompeo lashes out at journalist; NPR defends reporter | Boston.com


Who keeps a map with no labels available; not the first time he has pulled this???


The reporter should have shown Sec Pompeo an anatomical chart and asked him if he could find his balls!

Now who does he work for-
Trump who suggested that illegals be shot in the legs, and wanted alligators in a border moat

So yes an unmarked map would be part of his kit, along with a sharpie in case Trump wants to modify the map

He's her boss and people who had previously worked for him have since said they aren’t happy that he hasn’t stood up for highly respected diplomats like Yovanovitch.

Former Pompeo aide Michael McKinley and what he testified to months ago about his reasons for stepping down:

“The timing of my resignation was the result of two overriding concerns: the failure, in my view, of the State Department to offer support to Foreign Service employees caught up in the Impeachment Inquiry on Ukraine; and, second, by what appears to be the utilization of our ambassadors overseas to advance domestic political objectives,” McKinley said in prepared remarks.

She never did any such thing. That was all a total lie made up by Parnas and Giuliani in an effort to get Trump to fire her.

The president is his boss. See how that works?

As President Yovanovitch, one of Putin's very favorites and certainly Obamas. His only mistake was not firing her sooner.

But explain - specifically - why you claim she was the perfect ambassador immune from discharge as that apparently is your claim.

She should be prosecuted for divulging national security secrets, so should count her blessings. She might as well have picked up a phone and said "President Putin, this is my daily report of the status of American shipments of weapons to Ukraine. Let me give you the inventory and delivery dates."

"President Yovanovitch" ? She never did any such thing and if she had, she would have been prosecuted.

I see how it works. The fish rots from the head. Trump is out for # one and # one only. It seems as if it's rubbing off on the goons he hired to represent the USA. It's really disgusting.
 
Pompeo should testify before congress and prove to the people that he did what was right. Or are we still under the idea that nobody is answerable to the American people if Trump says so?


Trump's lawyers are from Sesame Street.

Mary Louise Kelly just happens to have an advanced degree in European studies from Cambridge and if 'pompous Pompeo' tried to humiliate her by dragging out an unmarked map of Europe challenging her to point to Ukraine, he got owned.

An attacker with NO evidence but her/himself for their own benefit should always be considered as nothing at all.

:roll:

He doesn't have to prove anything. She is a malcontent traitorous renegade employee who was fired, then sought fame playing a self-pity card. If she was doing her job correctly, she would not have been fired.

Apparently she lost the memo that Clinton is no longer head of the State Department and Obama is no longer president.

Except of course he does. He is the one claiming it was the right thing to do. Nobody else.

You want us to explain to you how this works? It's a lot more complicated than defending Nazis in Russia, Joko.

Ambassadors have no union contract for no discharge without just cause. Want me explain it to you? It is more complicated that you can't be fired if you know how to cry in self pity.

Mike Pompeo Won't Say If He Owes Apology To Ex-Ambassador To Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch : NPR
[snip] Pompeo has come under criticism — including, at times, from career diplomats in his own department — for failing to more forcefully defend Yovanovitch in the face of political attacks. During testimony before impeachment investigators, for example, Michael McKinley, a former senior adviser to Pompeo, said he resigned from the department in part over what he interpreted to be a "lack of public support for Department employees."

Immediately after the questions on Ukraine, the interview concluded. Pompeo stood, leaned in and silently glared at Kelly for several seconds before leaving the room. A few moments later, an aide asked Kelly to follow her into Pompeo's private living room at the State Department without a recorder. The aide did not say the ensuing exchange would be off the record.

Inside the room, Pompeo shouted his displeasure at being questioned about Ukraine and asked Kelly to identify the country on a map, which she did. He used repeated expletives, according to Kelly, and asked, "Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?" He then said, "People will hear about this."[/snip]

Yovanovitch toted Obama's water in Ukraine. She attempted to stop Ukrainians from investigating Americans in Ukrainian investigations of crimes in Ukraine. She presented to Shokin's replacement a list of names she expected to be immune from prosecution just 3 months after Biden had Shokin fired for investigating the corrupt company his son was working for.

Okay so if a US figure paid for by US tax payer money says they did the right thing, they do not answer to the American people. That your argument here?

I told you this is going to be a little bit harder than defending Nazis bitches in Russia.

Pompeo is losing it. Being a suck-up for someone who constantly lies, changes his mind, and generally ****s everything up isn’t easy.

Switcheroo and tried for a gotcha-moment ... and got an earful instead ... :lol:

"... she began with a lengthy conversation about ongoing tensions with Iran but quickly changed the subject to Ukraine.

"Do you owe Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch an apology?" Kelly asked.

"You know, I agreed to come on your show today to talk about Iran. That's what I intend to do," Pompeo responded. ...

NPR reporter says Pompeo shouted, cursed at her after she pressed him on Ukraine during interview | Fox News


"NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly lied to me, twice. First, last month, in setting up our interview and, then again yesterday, in agreeing to have our post-interview conversation off the record. It is shameful that this reporter chose to violate the basic rules of journalism and decency. This is another example of how unhinged the media has become in its quest to hurt President Trump and this Administration. It is no wonder that the American people distrust many in the media when they so consistently demonstrate their agenda and their absence of integrity.

It is worth noting that Bangladesh is NOT Ukraine. "
