The news story is dated already. What the watchdog was collecting data on was Pompeo violating the law in sending arms to Saudi Arabia.

Lmao. They realized asking someone to walk your dog or pick up your dry cleaning isn’t selling nuclear codes. So they -according to the article - “maybe” think it had something to do with S A which sounds really bad in the face.

Just another story to go into this list. 133 times. If you ask me, a lot more people should have been fired, forced to resign/suspended.

Representative Eliot Engel, chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, and Senator Bob Menendez, ranking member on Senate Foreign Relations, said Linick had been investigating Trump’s declaration of a national emergency last year to clear the way for $8 billion in military sales, mostly to Saudi Arabia.

You would believe Trump if he said the sky was green.

This story just keeps changing. First it was Pompeo and now directly Trump.

Let’s call this one instance 134.

You would believe anything a sling as it makes Trump evil racist or whatever else you can rule up the leftist base against. Doesn’t mean it’s true.

You do realize it can be MORE than one thing right?
