WH policy after the horse has bolted. Why didn't Pompeo say this a week or two ago. Clearly another hindsight moment.

Of course, he has... 😉 ”And hereby, I officially ask you about the bounty thing, my friend. Ok. Done. Whats‘s for lunch?”

.... and he didn’t inform his boss Trump or did Trump forget being told due to dementia? Pompeo is lying.

Key word in this is 'administration' even if POTUS did not question Russia on the Taliban Bounties

Proof or it didn't happen
