1. The State Department that you were in charge of, Mike?

You grifting sack. You're surprised someone lifted your 6K bottle of whiskey? LOLOLOL Pathetic.

2. Petty Theft

He's thinking, out of all the crimes I committed, they're accusing me of this?

I'm sure he'll be held accountable. LOL.

3. Pompeo....I only had an office there, I only worked for the President.

State Department, not my responsibility. LOL.

4. I hope the janitors found the whisky, "assumed" it was a gift for them,

and drank it. But, I really think that the pot-bellied pig Pompeo stole it.

5. Uh---was Rudy ever left alone in the same room with this "missing" whiskey?

Just asking.

7. 👆😆😆👍

6. Maybe if TFG hadn't gutted the State Department...

Or maybe you drank it, Mike?

9. ding ding ding.....

I'd get a subpoena and check his bar.

8. Most of the people he interacted with on a daily basis would have been people he hired

or selected for their positions (deputies, personal assistants and whatnot). Their incompetence, if that is what happened (Narrator: "That's not what happened." ) is still his fault. Yes the State Dept is huge, yes most of the staff predated him, but no he did not ever lay eyes on most of them. The people around him the most were his people.

But based on his other public behaviors, we can surmise what happened with a moderate degree of confidence: he took it, kept it, drank it, because he's an entitled piece of crap who didn't care what the rules were because he didn't believe he had to follow them.

11. What in the world?

Would make a bottle of booze worth $6K? And why would Japan think Pompeo rated it?

12. Pissed away a long time ago.

[crickets]

13. Wow.

Yes, Pompy, we saw the "enormous incompetence at the State Department" while you were there. It had your name all over it. Nice try, but we all got to know you far too well. Shameless jerk.

14. Mr. First in his Class at West Point, ladies and gentlemen!

Doesn't quite grasp the concept of chain of command, and is more than happy to blame his office's shortcomings on his "incompetent" underlings.
