I don't know what's worse: Harvard law grad Pompeo claiming Barr's DOJ would decide legality of Trump delaying the election, or West Point grad Pompeo lying about having "fought" in East Germany.
@MatBabiak
Pompeo chooses his words very carefully. He could have said "served," but he said "fought" to boost his gaslighting about Trump removing troops from Germany, as if it's not what it plainly looks like: a gift to Putin that hurts our alliance.

There’s so much horrible stuff that goes on daily you think you’ve seen the worst they can do then morning comes and it starts all over again. I’m so tired.

Both are an indication of Pompeo's character and that he's yoked so tightly to Trump, he'll do anything to ensure he's re-elected. He is very dangerous. More so than Trump, because he's smart.

@KevinMKruse
To be fair Pompeo does not understand the concept of serving his country anywhere so it was a simple mistake for him to make.

I wonder if in addition to the LSAT, Harvard Law School might consider instituting psychological testing to exclude the sociopaths and pathological liars? There seem to be a surfeit of Harvard grads who are Trump appointees and advisors.
@PaulaChertok
@atrupar
Why does she say she is aware of that if it didn't happen? Did Pompeo exaggerate by saying he "fought" rather than stating he was deployed to East Germany? Either way it is disgraceful how quick Pomepo is to lie.

BFD! I survived the Bowling Green Massacre. (aka the SAT exam I sat for at Western Kentucky State University. Go Hilltoppers!)

@sara_dillon
There’s something seriously wrong with both Barr & Pompeo. Not to mention how badly they reflect on both Harvard & West Point! Do they teach students to ignore ethical considerations or what? Lately my husband & I have noticed the Harvard grads r especially ethically
challenged.

My regular reminder that admission to
#WestPoint
is quite political — in many cases, those admitted are the children of big donors to local Congress people. Mileage varies widely, just as with other so-called ‘elite’ institutions.

@KevinMKruse
why is Shaheen saying she's "aware of that," though.
heck - i guess that means i fought on the border of East Germany too!
gee.
@PaulaChertok
I was in Germany during the same time. Unless he went to Desert Storm, he didn't fight shit during that time. The wall went down without a fight. I've still got a piece.
