    This guy opens a probe into Pompeo. Pompeo asks Trump to fire him and Trump does.

    I mean, how blatant does this have to get before the Right starts wondering what's gonna happen when a Dem retakes the WH?

    Turns out all those checks and balances we thought our govt had, were purely on the honor system.

    I think Democrats should worry about their next president being impeached over bs, or maybe having a supreme court nominee potentially denied a position over baseless accusations.

    Lots of investigating; not much legislating since Nancy took over the House. Way to waste two years of "leadership".

    If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody hears it, do the Democrats launch an investigation?

    It seems like Democrats are always launching investigations and Republicans never do.

    I thought you mentioned 6 years.

    Oh well, wait for Obamagate. At least it's going through the Department of Justice, not the 3-Stooges of Congress, Nancy, Chuck, and Schiff.

    You ain't seen nothing yet.

    LOL, Obamagate. Good luck with that. How depressed are you going to be when nothing happens and your Obamagate fantasy dissipates like a fart in the wind?

    We all kinda forgot about how Clinton and Obama left Americans die, thanks for bringing it up again because the world should never forget that they have blood on their hands. And when they blamed Benghazi on a video, did anyone call them racists for saying all it takes for Muslims to go out and slaughter people is a video?

    Anyway, on topic, my feeling is the left knows the liberal left wing propaganda machine known as the MSM will make this story their headline and not the corruption of Obama, Biden, comey, etc, because as we all know, and we heard them say it, the Obama admin never had a scandal, not one.

    Not terribly disappointed. I tend to just observe how things roll along in politics for entertainment. I don't expect the elites to be subject to the same rules that we peons are. It's fun to watch the rich and powerful play their little games with each other while they pretend they are doing something "for us".

    4 Americans die in Benghazi, cons support 4 years straight of investigations and want Obama and Hillary in prison.

    Thousands of Americans die each day due to to Trump's failure to take this pandemic seriously, cons reactions........crickets.

    But good luck with your new distraction #obamagate.

    By any chance, did you go out and ride the subway after de Blaise said it was safe? Did you put a relative in a NY nursing home per Cuomo? Or is it possible you were on board with calling Trump a racist when he tried to keep the China virus out of the country?

    Tell me two things:

    How did Trump mishandle the China virus?

    What would Clinton have done?

    Hmm, suddenly Trump lacks confidence in a bloke who has been there for years, including three-plus year of Trump's Presidency. What changed? Just that Pompeo thing. And, is it good enough to sack a bloke in such a senior position on the mere stated basis of generalised 'lack of confidence.' This should be just another nail in the coffin but, I'll bet we will hear all sorts of wailing, mostly, "What about *insert here any red herring*?"
