Only the dems are asking pertinent questions. This entire process is a joke. Rubio sounded like he was campaigning again. Did he even get a question out?
If he is an American, he is in a position to answer.
Don’t confirm him!
Waffle waffle... The GOP playbook.
Pompeo does have the liberty to discuss who can the president fire and who he can't.
since the president is there head boss yes he can fire Meuller and take down the fraud of a special counsel.Fbi heads are corrupt and so is the doj heads.Obama ruined all 6 agencies
Yes you are, its a comfirmation hearing!
So in short, yes to all three questions.
Senators grandstanding and showboating are sickening.
Another dumb question !
