If you're a senator on the committee & you've either heard rumors or just have a hunch that Pompeo may have gone there, do you ask that question in an open session?https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/986402137902067712 …

You have to.

At least I would think so considering he's nominated for SecState, and may get an unfavorable out of committee.
-
My answer: You use that info to inform your Qs to him about North Korea. But otherwise, if you bring it up at all, you do that somewhere other than in the hearing room. Unless I'm missing something as to how it would benefit the Dems to ask him that without warning in public.

This isn't just improper, somebody's head should roll for this. Trump is dispensing with everything.

Do you need something to be outraged about every day to feel alive? They're working on peace and denuclearization and rubbing your underbelly isn't always gonna be their priority before getting shit done

Absolutely no reason for it to come up in the confirmation hearing-

Which disclosure rules would've forced the admin to let Congress know about it? And even if they knew, wouldn't this be classified up the wazoo, preventing it from being brought up in a public hearing?

Leaving the distrust against the current admin aside, it seems like a completely standard and legitimate tool to have covert diplomatic negotiations.

The more trouble thing is that Pompeo was acting as Sec'y of State before he was Secretary of State. He was acting in an unauthorized capacity, while still the head of a spy agency. It wasn't disclosed in a confirmation hearing. There has to be some sort of conflict of interest

Shocked that@Kim would meet with anyone other than Trump. Doesn’t make sense.

It was either Pompeo or Ivanka, and Ivanka was busy.
