During the on-stage interview in Athens, organized as part of the two-day visit, Pompeo insisted Trump had done nothing wrong and reprimanded journalists for probing his role in the July 25 phone call, saying reporters should focus on “things that matter to people.”
“I think they want to know about the relationship with America and Greece," said Pompeo. “This is what’s wrong. When the world doesn’t focus on the things that are right, the things that matter,” he continued, adding: “You see that’s not healthy. That doesn’t help democracies flourish. It doesn't help grow economies.”
If trump was trying to get Zelensky to take steps to end corruption, he would have set some criteria related to FIGHTING CORRUPTION in the Ukraine in order to get the US $$$. Instead the criteria was - investigate one of my key political rivals. ImpeachAndRemove
That has to be one of the biggest bs answers from an administration that shovels it thick on a daily basis.
Just like those weren’t campaign violations to keep women quite, they were payment for school tuition.
Oh thank god. Corruption in the Ukrainian energy sector was keeping me up at nights. This answer is perfectly acceptable and I’m changing my mind about impeachment. Now you’ll go down in history as a great Secretary of State. Move over Jefferson, Marshall & Seward....
BS
Ugh Not a chance.
How many ways is SecPompeo going to spin this? Maybe he can ask the “stable genius” with his “great and unmatched wisdom” for some more ridiculous “explanations”.
That’s effing hilarious PutinPeo
Off to prison with you! Liar!
Pompeo is an absolute joke. He goes from saying he did not know about the call, to being in the room when call was happening, to now toeing party line. These people will be on the wrong side of history when it is all said and done.
No, not at all
MORE LIES...Clown car is about to crash
As long as the corruption was already debunked and involved his political competition: any real possible corruption, he wasn't aware of and wasn't interested in rooting out.
Goddamn people; at what point does country come first? You can’t always win the arguement. You can’t always make the rules. But you can protect a system that allows the pendulum to swing and not be stuck on one side. That’s what makes America great. Not narcissistic sociopaths
Who is going to believe this lap dog!!!
Any normal person who has read the transcript would think Trump was holding aid back for a political favor. Americans are not stupid and not going to believe your bullshit any more.
Trump fighting corruption is a joke. Trump has been corrupt his entire life and his children have followed in his footsteps.
SecPompeo :President Donald Trump was actually trying to help Ukraine fight corruption. Hahahahaha......
What's next. The NY Mafia Crime families are trying to fight corruption in NYC?
Is Pompeo seriously arguing that the only corruption in Ukraine happens to involve one of Trump’s political opponents? And why is Ukrainian corruption such a big thing as opposed to corruption anywhere else? IsItOK
This lying sycophant must be called to account too!
And just an coincidence that it was Biden
Yeah, like John Gotti never wanted to steal a load of cigarettes, but just wanted to prevent people from getting lung cancer, huh? 🙄
EVERYONE knows that isn't true.
MLAT?
The corruption of one man?
For a price....
Corrupted trying to fight corruption? Nah!!!!
Oh please...smh
Pull the other one.
“I set everything on fire because I was TRYING TO PUT OUT THE FIRE”
Pure BS from Pompeo.
🤣😂😂☺️😅
I believe you.....NOT
To quote Seth Abramson: This lie has a shelf life of a few more days, until media reports on Trump quashing Ukraine's corruption probes of Manafort in 2018
No one is buying it. You need to find a new angle.
And when I say I believe your BS I’m not being sarcastic.
Back pedaling . Did some one call you?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. The DON of corruption doesn’t fight it. He bathes in it.
Too late Mike your lies have caught up to you
Only against his political rival?
It’s too late for laughable spin. He has been exposed for the self-serving hack that he is. He must resign.
OMG
I thought he was just joking. Or is that a different channel?
Oh Pompous SecPompeo carrying water for a failed man
SecPompeo throw any shit that you can invent at the wall, and go with what sticks?
Trump is corruption 🇺🇸
SecPompeo you’re a bad liar.
Shame on you SecPompeo
It sure didn’t sound like it based on transcripts provided by the White House. You guys have no credibility at all, none zero
MikePompeo4USA This is not true.
Huh!?
Exactly what realDonaldTrump ran on! Drain the swamp and if that includes Biden so be it!
. Frightening.
So Mr Pompous Pompeo, the imposter in the WH was trying to help Ukraine fight corruption. Then way doesn't he do the same to Israel where Netanyahoo is charged with fraud, in Saudi Arabia where the Prince has dodged calling for the murder of a resident American journalist?
At least we now know just how stupid Pompeo thinks we are.
Sure, do they think non Trump voters are as gullible as his supporters?
That dog won’t hunt.
Liar!
Laughable
How about calling out Putin for RussianInterference in our elections ? CriminalInChief asking Ukraine to find dirt on a political rival ! And China too. ImpeachmentIsComing
😂😂😂😂😂
SecPompeo corruption like this?
Sure Jan 😑
SecPompeo yeah and I have some swamp land for you to buy. Only your base is blind enough to believe that whopper of a lie.
Really? 😐
TRAITOR!
Bullshit Trump was trying to steal another election
Can we please tell these knuckleheads they missed the boat and got it all wrong. We need to move on as a country. So much needs to be done. No more dark clouds over the Presidency and his Cabinet.
LOL trump is the Corrupt one
What a f-ing LIAR!
Lololol
So sad and unbelievable!
Don't you understand that when the depth of Trump's corruption is exposed, your political career is over. I hate to be so blunt, but you've shown yourself to be spineless.
By directing them to investigate specifically his political opponent and the company on whose board his son served, rather than any number of other individuals or companies? This is entirely implausible.
Not true.
😳😳🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Right! 🙄🙄🙄
Say that a million times and it’s a lie a million times bigger.
Wow there is new spin 🤡👺👹
Is it constitutional?
SecPompeo nobody believes that. not even Trump.
Bullshit
Resign
Went from”I don’t know anything” to now defending him. Ya right. ImpeachTheMF Pompeo
Bullshit
Liar. Liar. Pants on fire.
Yeah, and the tooth fairy is real
Hsha
To little to late
Wow......
realDonaldTrump He did it. He admitted it. Impeach him!ImpeachTrumpPenceBarr
That’s soooo hilarious! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Pompeo is full of shit.
Yea because no one is worth 50.000 dollars a month that's bullshit little Joe getting paid that much shit that's over 600.000 a year !! No government person is worth that much that's just being greedy & needs investigated.
Ship of fools...lie to congress and go directly to jail
Liar.
MikePompeo4USA Who are you trying to convince of your INNOCENCE? TRUMP is the only one!
Mike, Mike, Mike. You KNOW better and when in Congress you would NOT have tolerated a fraction of this. What have you done that you are so worried about? Or were you never that principled to begin with? MikePompeo4USA
Nope
He should start in his own administration. Let’s count. Price. Pruitt. Collins. Carson. Flynn. I could go on. The fish rots from the head
Buuuuulllllllshit
Hahaha stop
If Trump EVER tried to stop corruption, he would have to annihilate himself!!!
You are an accomplice to this crime against our democracy.
Look at him. Does he have a conscience? Must hurt Pompeo.
What garbage! When has Trump ever fought corruption. He is usually the one who is corrupt.
THEN 👏WHY👏DID👏HE👏HIDE👏THE👏EVIDENCE👏ON👏A👏SECRET👏SERVER👏?
Pompeo has thrown himself on the Trump Pyre of Burning Reputations. Watching a career suicide for lying and totally bad judgement.
If he could name one single solitary individual trump has targeted in the name of “corruption” that isn’t a political rival, then I might entertain that notion. But he can’t.
Uh huh. Anyone wanting to fight corruption wouldn't allow his daughter and son-in-law to make all those special trademarks in China while our country is in the midst of a trade war with that nation.
Click your red slippers and go back to Kansas, pompous Pompeo. You’re becoming a joke.
The lies get worse by the minute. 😠
Did you see that brown stuff coming out his ears as he talked.
We are not that stupid
And monkeys fly out of my ass
Yeesh
Also, Politico is rated as an unbiased source. Now, Fox News viewers. We already know Fox News has been tried of Lying and found Guilty in a past case, regardless of how you spit in. That said, do you really think Fox is giving you the full story?
Bill Taylor, one of US Ambassadors to the Ukraine, said he was not going to be involved in this trump policy because it was corrupt.
Yeh and I have a bridge to sell ya.......
Oh please
Sure he was, what about all the corruption he and his cabinet are steeped in along with corrupt GOP?
Even with a recording/transcript u ppl aren't intelligence enough to make up your own mind. They told us we know where the WMD'S are.
But he needed a favor though.
You have learned to lie from the world’s best example and teacher of racism. Your next lesson will be Corruption 101. Rubio, McConnell,Graham and many other former GOP are now RUMPLICANS and have put party before Americans welfare without question. Vote no for all RUMPUBLICANS!!
Is there any end to the lies and corruption in this FailingAdministration? ImpeachTrumpPenceBarr
And they have to hide and deny until they can't.
Pretzel Pompeo. Twisted for Trump.
