BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: I’m told that Pompeo’s office in recent days asked State Department HR/IG if they could “discipline” officers for “failure to follow direction” if they cooperate with Congress.
This, I’m told, is PART of the IG’s urgent request to Congress.
There is written documentation.
State Department staffers were truly shocked by the directive, which the IG denied. It appears that Pompeo is threatening his officers if they comply with Congressional inquiries.
The IG and HR teams wouldn’t go along with Pompeo’s ask.
For when this is confirmed please credit me as the founder of @forensicnewsnet
The IG for State was appointed by Obama. Not sure about the HR people but the IG and HR are in lockstep against Pompeo’s ask.
.@Mimirocah1 @JoyceWhiteVance @eliehonig @jentaub @jesskcoleman @robertjdenault Legal ramifications here?
I’m told that @OversightDems received a report on this from a government employee in the last hour.
