ATHENS - The U.S. State Department has issued an initial response to a Democratic-controlled congressional committee’s request for documents related to the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Saturday.
“The State Department sent a letter last night to Congress, which is our initial response to the document request. We will obviously do all the things we are required to by law,” Pompeo said in a news conference in Greece. He did not elaborate on the contents of the letter. “We hope the Department will cooperate in full promptly,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said on Friday that the subpoena “changes nothing” and that it would be ultimately shown that Trump did nothing wrong.
Oh who cares?
Sure bet this is a lie.
Response to Subpoena StateDepartmen3 And VP SecPompeo . We know What you will sent from the White House ! Will be sanitized BS, Clean propaganda. Trump approved . No contempt , Sergeant of Arms ? Seriously ! BBCWorld AP cspan maddow CNNPolitics nytopinion snopes
Dr Evil...the dudes a warmonger and a snake
❤❤❤💌
He can’t do that, what will the media cry about tomorrow?
From the way he is talking, you know he is not telling the truth. He should resign and Trump should just go home also
State Department...
Hey Mikey .... seems you lost your way cadet....
Right! Unless Chairman Schiff says that got the documents related to the impeachment probe, I am reserving judgement if Pompeo is telling the truth. His credibility is non grata.
Yup, yup the checks in the mail, won't do that again, wanna buy some swamp in Florida
We will follow the law as we selectively choose to define it. Or redefine it.
Um yeah okay sure
You are a liar
With a finger
With all requested documents ?
Trump
Um, um, um. Dude’s lying thru his teeth.
Make copies for your records!
Does 'tearing up and pretending they never saw it' count as 'responding'?
Credibilty 0
Who knew Pompeo was such a snowflake?
W/ a big fat no or ?
Wow! That's deep!! Politics in D.C.
Crass, enraged and rabid politics!
He is so full of shit. Why do they protect Trump? In the end, they are going to be thrown under the boss. Are they not watching what is happened to people near him in recent history.
Well, he’s basing his conjecture on his Benghazi experience.
He's going down with the degenerate. Tick tock, tick tock!!!
Ignore them.
It's called oversight, don't any of these guys have a constitution Ask mr. Khan he will give them one
Only because he knows he has been caught in a cover up.
This guy doesn't know his right hand from his right hand regarding some thing, and this is one of them. Does he uphold the constitution? Apparently not or he would not be making the same kind of decisions as Trump. He's been bought off. Terrible for leadership.
Of course there is politics. It’s called the Constitution.
I thought it was to prove or disprove a serious allegation for the American people. Innocent or guilty. Seems simple.
Pompeo has sold his soul to the devil.
Yeah there *have been* congressional inquiries that harassed State Dept employees, namely yours when you were a congressman. Bet you didn’t think your own conduct would come back to bite you so quickly if at all!
G Tell us something we don't know! Impeachment is supposed to be political 🙄
Yeah, it's called the politics of the Constitution! SecPompeo
ImpeachPompeo
And your point is........?
He knows his job is politics, right?
what did he expect ?
Yes, there is Mike. It’s a. Political strategy to get rid of the greed, corruption, self-serving Republican administration attempting to steal our country for their own profit. Any other questions or comments?
And you all say there’s no brains in the White House. Shame on you
Well, you are all Politicians. Makes sense to me.
Mike - the Trump stench is a special vile broth. Once it is on you - It is on you for life! Nothing will ever be able to remove or mask the nasty smell!
He should be arrested for not complying with a subpoena.
It is shamfull to deny the right of the presidant of Democratic USA
Due process ...And he said he was there so hi a wittness and should be heard by congress ..
Really? So we're supposed to wait for the Republicans to do it?
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
No, the defense of Trump is purely politics. Because the things he’s done are indefensible for someone who’s primary responsibility is defending the Constitution.
Or Trump is a criminal.
Yes trump was extorting the new leader of a foreign country which is under attack by Russia for dirt on trump opponent. So yeah it’s political, but it’s also a crime.
SLUUUURP.
Failure to produce such records are an admission of guilt and obstructing justice in my book
They sure don't like pompeo or trump in Athens.
Pompeo seems to have something to hide.
Nope, just a phone memorandum and some emails.
pompeolies
Not for you to decide Mikey boy. ImpeachTrump
SecPompeo These are members Congress conducting an official inquiry. What you are doing it’s called obstruction of justice.
RepAdamSchiff The American people already knew this! Schiff is a liar an orchestrated this entire unethical BS! Schiff needs to charged with treason!
What a disgusting person Pompeo is. Where do these losers come from? How is they go from being deranged congress people to being Sec of State. Trump picked nothing but shitheads for his cabinet.
I does not matter a rats ass. It’s the law. Give it up or pay the consequences.
Impeachment is a POLITICAL matter! So yeah politics is behind the subpoena. That’s literally how it works!
Impeachment political? ... say it ain't so ....
Mike Pompeo thinks he's above the law
bunch of trump liars and cronies!!! traitors and crooks!!!! playing politics!!! what are you trying to do? kill america by trying to make us laugh to death !!!! lock up liar in chief and all of his demons!!
Pompeo in deep
Well...this definitely isn’t a golf tournament.
Unlike all the Benghazi subpoenas? Give me a break with your outrage.
Imagine if Cheeto von Tweeto was a person you were willing to go to prison for. He must have a walk-in closet full of skeletons.
Really? PompousAss came up with that thought all by himself? Wow he be clever!
Impeachment is a political process. But subpoenas from Congress are still obligatory.
Yes. These “politics” are called “The Constitution.” You should read it sometime!
And soon there will be judges and courts behind it
Duh. Impeachment is always a political process.
No SecPompeo ... there is exposing corruption and a corrupt appointee, realDonaldTrump lackey behind the subpoena issued. Try another lie.
民主党判国
Or for sane people, this is obstruction of justice.
As transparent as as pile of poo
Just another article of impeachment for old fat Mike.
Does he have a real say in what happens? Is his rank higher than the House of Representatives? This all makes him seem to be guilty of something.... is he hiding something?
Wow!Let’s just make it easy do the inquiry if in fact that’s all Trump was doing(still unconstitutional) because we know that’s not what he’s doing. He purposely uses the office of President of the U.S. that’s meant to be for humanitarian purposes and uses instead to be a tyrant
For this administration following the law is harassment. Or just an abstract concept like having a soul...
Start by fines for all who won't comply, then their healthcare should be next... GOPTraitors
Co- Equal branches of government.
For someone who was himself a Congressman and who participated in the Bangazi hearings, this is sad, and he knows better.
Obey the law and legal process like any other American.
Mike Pompeo is harrassing America!! Give up the documents! What have you got to hide
Another trump puppet!
Doing their job isn’t harassment. But I’m sure you’ll trick the idiots.
Benghazi Investigation Pompeo wants to speak with Trump Impeachment Pompeo.
Arrest that pompous man for obstruction!
if you have not done illegal then what is there to hide? Isnt that the mantra of republicans for patriot act? If you are hiding your extremism you are not patriot sir.
This ain’t a twitter feud Mikey. It’s called a “ subpoena”. “a writ ordering a person to attend a court.” You should know better.
Sounds like Trump and his corrupt minions are the ones who have been doing the harassing.
This from the guy quoted as saying in regards to America’s foreign policy “We’re Americas Bitches.”
You have no authority over what Congress does or not. You're just a hired hand, and an idiot!
Mike Pompous doesn't seem to understand that it's not harassment, it's upholding the law. No surprise really, as he's never really understood the idea of upholding the law
SecPompeo It means you’re over law? Also international laws I don’t think so
So amusing, no? Pompeo is totally unaware of what the Constitution specifies in this situation. He needs to resign. Or, better yet. The Dems need to start making arrests.
Pompeo is a coConspirator.
Jackass.
Will he comply? Will he go to jail for DT?
Not good enough, Mike.
Americans deserve a full House vote
More B'S, how do they look at themselves in the mirror?
...in other words. They buying time ...
I must have missed a step. How is the Biden investigation and the 2016 election related?
It looks like this
lock him up
Swamp rats have been known to feed upon one another
After Pompeo said 'we will do all the things required by law..' I know that is a complete and utter lie. Trump will fight this, but I think congress has the upper hand. They simply need to hold in contempt of congress anyone on the WH staff who doesn't comply and jail them.
Lock em up, Lock em all up! Then throw away the key...
Fundamental to this statement, if you are trying to get help from Ukraine investigating corruption and election interference from 2016, why is it happening in late 2019, after Joe Biden is connected to the 2020 election? Timing = politics AND corruption
Hope it's 'go to hell.' Vote an up or down first.
None of this foot-dragging. “an initial response” is NOT what is required.
Biden will tweet...Russia, China, Ukraine, North Korea, Scotland and Saudi Arabia (trump calls them' the kingdom') ' IF YOU ARE LISTENING ' send us all you have on the Trumps. Including all signed documents from each of their lawyers.
Put this man behind bars with the rest of his cronies
And the initial response was....nope, Not sending a thing Coverup ImpeachTrumpPenceBarrPompeo
cate_long Why do you keep referring to this request as a subpoena?
Unless his response includes the full set of documents, he should be arrested for contempt of Congress. As soon as he lands in the US.
Good response about principality but not acting to reply to those .
SecPompeo is nursing sore fingers!!
SecPompeo will end up in Prison. Maybe not this year but soon. Enjoy your free time Mikey. Maybe you'll share a cage with Cohen.
As a member of Congress, Pompeo made clear there was no place for politics in American diplomacy. Nor, he said, would he tolerate “dithering” by an Obama administration State Department that he called “deeply obstructive of getting the American people the facts that they needed.”
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Pompeo is a sad joke.
He said, 'No'
Arrest him if it's non-compliance. This is not a request.
Another fraud
Inherent. Contempt. The only way to deal with criminals is to treat them like criminals.
J Edgar GRUver would be proud. What’s in your closet Secretary?
I think this one is going to get himself in legal trouble... just sayin.
Hey Mikey ... guess you forgot the code ..,
Mike Pompeo has received his talking points
Looking shiny and sweaty
Pompeo has decided that he doesn’t have to comply with the law. These people are corrupt and they are out of control. God knows what they are doing as we sit here...
Hope it is a two fingered salute.
Dear mr pompeo not turning over documents, let me just introduce you, bug meet windshield!
Come on back and testify mikey
Good. Let the investigation proceed
2 words
Obstruction!
Initial response: 'Catch me if you can.' RaptureHeadAroundIt
And what was that...lemme guess.... 'no' LockThemAllUp
Pompey is a traitor and he’s in on the corruption with trump, pence and God knows who else...
I saw it............
I suggest you remind them to do so.
