Mike Pompeo’s State Department stunt just ensured he’s going to prison if Trump loses the election
If you needed yet another reason to vote for Joe Biden in November, you just got it. Not only will Donald Trump go to prison if he loses the election, his criminal henchman Mike Pompeo just ensured that he’ll go to prison as well. Trump and Pompeo just ousted State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, seemingly hoping no one would notice because it’s a Friday night.
Unfortunately for Trump and Pompeo, it took no time at all for word to surface that the Inspector General was actively investigating Pompeo:
If @realDonaldTrump thinks that firing State Department Inspector General Steve Linick will stop the truth from coming out, he’s wrong. @POTUS just shined a big spotlight on @SecPompeo.
Mr. Linick could certainly testify or be interviewed, as well as those who provided him info. https://t.co/hRbCAlxUJA

Yeah, that’s felony retaliation. Mike Pompeo was already probably going to prison for his role in Donald Trump’s Ukraine extortion scandal. But now Pompeo is definitely going down. If he had any sense he’d be looking to cut a plea deal against Trump and save his own hide. Instead Pompeo just dug himself an even deeper hole. If we vote Trump out, all these thugs go down with him.
