Pompeo failed to disclose ownership of business connected to China

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CIA Director Mike Pompeo did not disclose last year that he owned a business linked to a Chinese government-owned company, McClatchy reported.

Pompeo — who was recently nominated by Trump to be secretary of State — failed to disclose his business’ ties to a Chinese government oil and gas company in the questionnaire he was required to fill out to be confirmed as CIA director by the Senate.

That omission could be an issue for him during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday to be secretary of State.

Senators did not bring up his links to the Chinese government during his confirmation to be CIA director last year. He was confirmed by a 66-32 vote, with 14 Democrats voting in favor of his confirmation.

1. Why even give them the forms

if nobody is going to fill the out honestly and there are no repercussions for not having done so?

4. Oops, did Mikey have a senior moment and forget where he put his business?

Pompeo also seems to have forgotten to scrub his company's website that clearly states Sentry International, an oilfield equipment manufacturing, distribution and service company, has manufacturing facilities in Shanghai, China.

Too stoopid for words!

5. Is there any history of any administration being this "forgetful "

6. To be fair...

Who hasn’t forgotten their oil company in China every now and then?
