Mike Pompeo to keynote Florida conservative Christian event, raising ethical and legal questions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is slated to keynote a gala event for a conservative Christian organization in Florida -- an appearance that comes a month before Election Day and may violate legal and ethical guidelines.

Not only is the top US diplomat advertised as the featured guest at the Florida Family Policy Council's 15th Anniversary Gala on October 3, a "personal visit with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo" is included with a $10,000 table sponsorship. Tickets to a VIP reception featuring Pompeo are included in $5,000 and $3,000 table sponsorships and $500 VIP tickets, according to the organization.

This could be a breach of federal regulations, according to Don Fox, former acting director and general counsel for the US Office of Government Ethics (OGE).

"There is a provision in federal regulations that prohibits executive branch employees from misusing their office for private gain, and that includes the private gain of any other entity to include in a non for profit," said Fox.

5. We had better get rid of this guy

for good. We here in Kansas know how he is and he is as dangerous as anyone they have. He is smart and he does not give a flying fuck if what he does is wrong or illegal or will hurt our country. He doing what he is doing for Trump now but only to put himself in position to run next election. We must take this man all the way down. He will never run out of backing from Koch so we have to prove him criminal which should not be hard but times being what they it could be nigh impossible.

6. But...

Religious freedom. He just wants to hold dominion over you rubes, and Jesus is on Mike’s side. Ask Mike. He thinks he’s hastening The Second Coming. And I ain’t kiddin’!
