Pompeo’s official response to @NPRKelly interview doesn’t deny her account of his bullying & cursing. This is an attack on news organizations from the top US diplomat, someone who is supposed to defend press freedoms. It’s obvious he’s playing to an audience of one — Trump.
@NPRKelly Pompeo also undermines his credibility on the facts of the episode in the statement. There is little chance @NPRKelly, a Cambridge-educated expert on Europe, would have pointed to Bangladesh if he asked her to identify Ukraine on an unlabeled map.
A former US ambassador said of Pompeo: “He’s like a heat-seeking missile for Trump’s ass.” From New Yorker profile of Pompeo — “The Secretary of Trump” — by @sbg1. newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…
@sbg1 Here's our story on Pompeo's extraordinary diatribe. He said the news media was "unhinged," but many people say it's the secretary of state who appears unhinged. And some note that he appears to erupt more often at women journalists. nytimes.com/2020/01/25/us/…

New info on Trump pressuring Ukraine for favors: White House froze Pentagon aid to Ukraine just 90 minutes after Trump had his July 25 phone call with Zelensky. And Trump may have begun asking about the aid on June 19, after seeing a news story on it. nytimes.com/2019/12/21/us/…
The new details come from emails released by the Pentagon to the Center for Public Integrity, which had filed a FOIA request. Michael Duffey, a political appointee at OMB, emailed the Pentagon with order to hold the aid. @SenSchumer says the emails show Duffey should testify.
OMB and the Pentagon had no comment on the emails. An administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, argued the timing of Duffey's July 25 email was a coincidence. They said there had been ongoing email exchanges about holding the $250 million in aid.

Thread on must-read story: @nytimes got leak of 403 pages of Chinese Communist Party docs showing how leaders, starting with President Xi Jinping, organized internment camps to detain 1 million+ Muslims for months or years. By @austinramzy @ChuBailiang. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Officials created a script to answer questions from Muslim students returning home to Xinjiang from elsewhere in China or abroad who were worried about their missing parents. Students were told their parents were being taught about "radical" Islam & couldn't leave the centers.
A local official and longtime Xinjiang resident, Wang Yongzhi, complied with the policy but then refused meet quota for rounding up Muslims. He was purged by Chen Quanguo, party chief of Xinjiang and a Politburo member. Some Chinese have praised Wang online following this story.

NEW: @SecPompeo enabled Trump's hijacking of Ukraine policy. Pompeo has spread conspiracy theories & failed to defend veteran diplomats from Trump’s attacks. Now he faces political peril in the impeachment inquiry. Detailed story of crisis w/ @SangerNYT. nytimes.com/2019/11/04/us/…
Many career officials at State Department say morale is at an all-time low and that Pompeo has done more damage to the 75,000-person agency than Rex Tillerson, the oil executive appointed by Trump whom department employees reviled.
Pompeo's trips to Kansas, his adopted home state, have also come under scrutiny. He flew there 4 times this year, 3 on taxpayer-funded official trips. Many people say he'll run for Senate, and that the trips are a shadow campaign. Sen. Bob Menendez asks for an investigation.

I've posted this interview with @SecPompeo for a few months now, as he refuses to answer if he’d been in prior contact with @RudyGiuliani in Feb 2019 while both were in Warsaw.

It was a simple question to answer.

🇺🇸

Now we know why he didn't want to answer.

He knew that Giuliani was up to no good in Ukraine with Parnas, Hyde, etc, under Trump's orders.

And if he answered that question, it would tie him into the plot to intimidate, or possibly assassinate, an American ambassador?

🇺🇸

Now, the questions are ... was Pompeo truly knowledgable and complicit in this plot? Agreed with the plot?
