Bummer. IG meeting isn't going to destroy Pompeo's

[OliverQ]

career. Apparently it's basically nothing.

1. I know.

Sorry, but this is a terrible "look."

[BigmanPigman]

2. A nothingburder.

[Mike 03]

3. Yeah but we have to ask why the IG did this dog and pony show in

the first place? Does he take orders from Pompeo? Or was he genuinely trying to assist, but is just clueless? I don't understand what happened.

4. it could show that nobody wants to get caught with anything connected with trump or rudy or pompeo

give it to congress, get it out of our office

[Mike 03]

7. You mean like maybe the IG himself could be implicated?

So he pretends to help, but it's not really helping? Just to pretend like he's doing the best he can to help, even though it's not helpful?

EDIT: Sorry, my post is incoherent. I'm just trying to understand what you're suggesting. You might be onto something, if I'm understanding it correctly?

9. just thinking if this somehow ended up on your desk, you might want to get rid of it

even if it's not damning.

I'm sure with the impeachment inquiry a lot of these folks are freaked out.

[cilla4progress]

5. Yeah...

something strange. What's the story on the packet with Trump Hotel logo on it????

[Mike 03]

6. Just saw that a minute ago.

So it looks like this was just basically a trick. There was no sincere effort to help the investigation. At least that's what it looks like so far.

[ffr]

8. Did you ask yourself why Pompeo admitted to being with on tRump UKR call?

I don't know what came from DoS IG's secure meeting today, but I do know that for some unknown reason, Pompeo admitted guilt as a co-conspirator, now after covering it up.

[Claritie Pixie]

10. Not so fast. IG had a packet of disinformation materials with Trump hotel envelopes in it.

He didn't know where it came from, could implicate Pompeo.

We now know that disinformation to counter the true story has been created and was in the possession of a state dept. employee.

That's significant IMHO.

[Kingofalldems]

12. Exactly.

Looks like someone jumped the gun.

[Kingofalldems]

11. Got a link on that?

Specifically where it says the meeting was 'basically nothing'.

[Kentonio]

13. Yeah that's confusing.

It seems it was about state department leaders retaliating against staff for trying to cooperate with congress, which is about as far away from ‘nothing’ as it gets.
