Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Murphy: Steps you could take to frustrate investigation. You said I don't recall what President asked. Pompeo: Don't recall if he asked anything that date. I don't recall specifics. Have answered every question abt that meeting. Murphy: Also said never asked inappropriate.

        Murphy: Back to Q abt whether Mueller an attack on all we stand for. I don't believe why role in investigation prevents you from answering whether it's an attack.

        Pompeo: These are complex legal issues. It is a minefield. I want to be on the far side of the line to make sure I don't create challenges. Murphy: By refusing to back Mueller, you have sided with very poisonous attacks. Pompeo dodges by talking abt cooperation with COngress.

        Murphy: What statutory authority on striking Syria? Pompeo: Article II. Reams of law review. Highly fact based. Murphy: Give me one limiting factor. Pompeo: This has been tussle for awfully long time. Murphy: Normally, imminent threat, attack on US, no attack on US correct?

        Murphy: To extent there's not a limiting constraint on Article II power, we are all out of the business of declaring war.

        Just wait til they confirm him by a large margin. I no longer dare to hope this Congress will “do the right thing.”

        It won't be a large margin. His CIA margin wasn't big and more Dems won't support him now, plus they've lost some GOPers.

        I am also optimistic but I do totally understand why you are not - there is certainly justification for how you feel. I'm just hoping you'll be pleasantly surprised because you will enjoy that every bit as much as we will.

        The most disheartening thing since the election has been to discover that a large majority of Congress is unwilling to stand up to our corrupt president. AND they aren’t listening to “we the people,” they willfully ignore us. So yes, a vote against Pompeo would be delightful!

        It's to the point where no one even listens to what Trump is saying to them?
