The contempt resolution being drafted against Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is related to 'his transparently political misuse of Department resources,' Democrats said.

The Democrat-led House Foreign Affairs Committee announced that it will launch proceedings to hold Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in contempt.

Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said that Pompeo "has demonstrated alarming disregard for the laws and rules governing his own conduct and for the tools the constitution provides to prevent government corruption." The contempt resolution against Pompeo, President Donald Trump's second secretary of State, is being drafted in response to the Cabinet official's "ongoing refusal to comply" with a congressional subpoena and "his transparently political misuse of Department resources,"Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y.

Engel cited Pompeo's alleged refusal to fully cooperate with the impeachment inquiry into Trump, as well as the top diplomat's speech to the Republican National Convention this week, which was recorded in Jerusalem.

KevinWilliamB What? C'mon!

KevinWilliamB Even the strongly supporting of the rhetoric, US media, isn't taking this seriously - just another waste of time, money and political ploy. Why does it feel like members of the house are still in nursery school?

🎵🎵🎵tune for the day......you like you share🎵🎵🎵

He's on Americas side .

Thank you House Dems!

Very few House Democrats have a brain. When you get the House Democrats together it is a Clown Show. They are a circus

1Krohmer13 Satans Soldiers have lost their minds! Pelosi has got to go!

Subterfuge! Subterfuge!

So what

Hey, why not, that's their best effort since being elected.

Biden has Dementia

Nothing substantial will happen. Whatever action from the House will be casually ignored. Once upon a time something like this is grave news, but after perpetual outrageous things coming from Trump administration, no one bothers anymore.

He is a criminal

Cry babies LOLOL

Jmo but Dems need to stop useless proceedings... will go nowhere and while I agree, the focus needs to be on the election Dems

Drain the democrats from the house.. Drain everyone of them.

Need to buy gold and gold miners NOW. Shortages happening and India and china market is slow. Companies like Sandstorm are going PRINT money at over $1700 gold!

Democratic Party is so obsessed making the narratives/shows so the other party and the administration under that party “look bad”.

Lmao. Democrats don’t do sh*t. Just investigate rather than serving the American people

Not like they have pressing matters to tend to. Clowns.

So what r the penalties for contempt charges?

That’s the same Elliott Engel that got his behind wiped out by Alexandra. Weak!!

Dems a bunch of losers should be kicked out of town.

Pompeo was speaking in his personal capacity without any U.S. government support or staffing. This is political theatre from the left ... they’re getting desperate.

Lock him up.

Democrats will go after whatever gets in their way to do what they want. (Not what the Americans want) It's their way or else. They make up rules as they go along to whatever suits their wants.

Dems sure know how to waste taxpayer money.

Middle of a economic crisis, and the dems focus on more investigations rather than helping Americans.

Dems getting desperate.
