Watchdog group tells me it has received "flood" of complaints from CIA personnel about Pompeo pushing religion in the workplace, at times discussing the Rapture.

"The people that worked under him at the CIA that came to us...were scared shitless.”

Here's Trump's nominee for Secretary of State saying "It is a never ending battle until...the Rapture."

Characteristic of Rapture theology is the belief that Israel plays a central role in the "end times".

According to a travel disclosure form I found, Pompeo made an official visit to Israel in 2011. This was the *only* foreign trip he conducted until he became CIA director.

According to Pompeo's travel disclosure form, the reason for his trip was that he "has a special interest in Israel."

Pompeo's trip to Israel (which he attended with his wife) cost $27,532.38

The trip was paid for and planned in its entirety by the American Israel Education Foundation, a sister group to AIPAC, the US' premiere pro-Israel lobby group.

The American Israel Education Foundation is a "nonprofit educational organization" and therefore exempt from tighter ethics restrictions on congressional foreign travel.

Here were some of the events Pompeo attended while in Israel, per his itinerary:
-“Terror from Gaza and Sinai”
-“Hamas Next Door”
-“Hizballah Next Door”
-“Bashar Assad Next Door”
-“Defensible Borders"

Notice a common theme here?

Despite having spent a week in Israel, Pompeo's only listed meeting with Palestinian officials was two hours long

Last and most importantly: why does Pompeo's handwriting look like a child's lol

Update: 7 senate Democrats joined a unanimous Republican vote to confirm Pompeo, per NYT: nytimes.com/2018/04/26/us/…
