BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: I’m told that Pompeo’s office in recent days asked State Department HR/IG if they could “discipline” officers for “failure to follow direction” if they cooperate with Congress.

This, I’m told, is PART of the IG’s urgent request to Congress.

State Department staffers were truly shocked by the directive, which the IG denied. It appears that Pompeo is threatening his officers if they comply with Congressional inquiries.

The IG for State was appointed by Obama. Not sure about the HR people but the IG and HR are in lockstep against Pompeo’s ask.

1. Maybe. The asking-for-credit part is a little weird though. :p

"For when this is confirmed please credit me as the founder of..."

2. Stedman is steering readers to his other twitter/facebook where he has Oct fundraising goal

He is hoping to get more "patrons" to directly financially support what he writes online

3. No kidding. eom

5. Stedman is independent and has been ripped off by corporate journalists

In the past.

4. I read that or heard that earlier today, though.

Either someone on MSNBC or someone here at DU mentioned how Pompeo was reportedly trying to determine if he could discipline any officers who comply with the inquiry.

I don't think this Stedman fella is the originator of that bit of news.

6. He's not. It has been reported today.

Rough transcript from Rep. Raskin on CNN.

Raskin about Urgent meeting: It appears to be in response to the letter Pompeo sent to congress. Pompeo intimates some kind of protective blanket he can draw down over the documents congress are requesting. He appears to think he can stop the witnesses to testify.

I could only find it on Facebook, sorry.
