This gets better....Pompeo and his wife doing official business on private email.




Until the coronavirus shut them down in March, Sec. Pompeo and his wife held elaborate, unpublicized gatherings known as "Madison Dinners" regularly in historic Diplomatic Reception Rooms on the government's dime.
Officials involved in carrying out the dinners say all the information collected by the State Dept. during the invitation process, including the names and contact information for potential guests, is emailed back and forth to Susan Pompeo's private Gmail account.

These are fancy parties, she would have needed lots of gowns. And, maybe this was when Mr. Pompeo had to do all those dishes that Trump referenced. Somebody cooked that food, laundered those linens, and did those dishes. I want to know what their dinners cost us.

Petty, yes...but I am sick to death of these grifters.

Also, little Lindsey Graham is starting an investigation trying to dig up dirt on President Obama's staff. Why not investigate Pompous Pompeo? Nobody has to dig too deep, it is all out in the open, just so presidential doncha know? Fat bastard Mike, and his fat wife are so full of their own importance, it hurts. Do they have kids?

I suspect their passwords aren't terribly sophisticated, but who knows? Maybe some hackers can break in.
