Washington Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday said that he asked President Donald Trump to remove State Department Inspector General Steve Linick be fired because the independent watchdog was"undermining" the department and wasn't performing in a way that the top US diplomat wanted him to.
"I went to the President and made clear to him that Inspector General Linick wasn't performing a function in a way that we had tried to get him to, that was additive for the State Department, very consistent with what the statute says he's supposed to be doing," he told The Washington Post in his first public comments on the matter."The kinds of activities he's supposed to undertake to make us better, to improve us.
SpeakerPelosi What's with the Klingon eyebrows?
SpeakerPelosi So would the same unhealthy pattern be labeled to Democrats for wasting literally Tens of millions of taxpayers dollars on bullshit investigations instead of doing what their actual purpose is in Congress and Senate?

SpeakerPelosi CNN - Chinese News Network, your clear alliance with the Socialist Democrats is disgusting. You appear to have been infiltrated by the CCP. You’re more loyal to communist China than you are the US. The Dem agenda is closely aligned with Chinese policy. Say that it’s not true!
SpeakerPelosi What's unhealthy for a democracy is having a 80 year old venomous, bat sht crazy Speaker of the House.
SpeakerPelosi Blah blah blah blah.... what else would you expect Pelosi say? Always bad, never good... anything coming from this woman is not credible. She should not be in the Peaker position... she speaks for no one but herself.
SpeakerPelosi What about the illegal selling of arms to SA 😮
He doesn’t work for him.
SpeakerPelosi But hey if he wants to kill himself why stop him? Lol
SpeakerPelosi 'All the best people'
mikepompeo you afraid they will find out the truth about your crimes You think realdonaldtrump will protect you from prosecution? Your wrong, people will find out and you will go to JAIL!!! Your just as CORRUPT as the President!!
Fired State Department IG was probing Trump administration’s potentially illegal Saudi arms sales
chenereewa Pompeii is no different than tRUMP, they’re BOTH PATHOLOGICAL LIARS.

Pompeo will never convince people that he knew nothing about being investigated by Linick. That’s why he had Donald to fire Linick. They have too much to cover up.
They can fire whoever the heck they want and for any reason. Obama fires all bush holdovers. You’re just propaganda and pure garbage 👍🏻
Just some deep state spring cleaning
.secpompeo in other words you wanted to keep ignoring the law and keep doing the crimes. Read the Constitution, pompous pompeo. When Congress says NO, it means NO. Trying to skirt around the NO is illegal.
Drain the swamp!!
If Pompeo was violating the law, the people have a right to know. Their taxes fund the government and IGs are in place to ensure the money is correctly spent. Pompeo can resign if he disagrees.
donlemon CuomoPrimeTime Looks like the I.G got fired by the one and only realDonaldTrump for uncovers deals being made w/ the Saudis and his puppet Pompeo was doing the bidding...but his staffers had to walk his dog and pick up dry cleaning so he can do these deals...
It's Mr. 'Pompous' that should be fired and he can take Trump with him.
In other words, investigating you, Mike.
Steve Schmidt is right. This administration is headed by a dunce and run by a confederacy of dunces.
And didn’t want to walk his dog and pick up his dry cleaning. 🤔
Translation....he was snitching on them
In other words he caught you abusing the power of your office
Again: trump appointed people are the only one’s under legitimate investigation, going to jail and getting fired. How can you clean a swamp when you keep defecating in it.
Maybe doesn’t know what the IG is supposed to do?
Oh Mikey, You fatfuck. Those of us that are paying attention see you. Nice try tho. SecPompeo
He wasn't playing ball... He was doing his job more than likely.
So he wasn’t corrupt enough for their standards.
What is wrong with that explanation Nuthin
No he didn't. He's just taking the heat after the fact because he's trump's bitch. trump says 'jump' and Pompeo says 'woof woof'.
And he was investigating your ties to Saudi Arabia..🤦♂️
That's the plan.
And they will win. ObamaGate
Pompeo is a disgrace to this country and as far as the rump is concerned, all he had to hear was that Obama appointed the IG and he fired him, just like he tries to undo anything Obama!!! Vote him Out!!!
This is a ridiculous waste of time & money. Both had fair trials. Both found guilty and both were given their sentences. Trump should stop interfering with the justice system! CARRY OUT THE SENTENCES AND STOP TRUMP FROM PUTTING HIS NOSE WHERE IT DOESN’T BELONG! Trump’s corrupt
FakeNewsCNN
Dr Fauci doesn’t know squat
After January they won’t be there to protect Stone and Flynn. They will be battling their own investigations and prosecutions. TheJusticeDept FBI senatemajldr
They will all go down..,eventually
