I’m guessing that Pompeo’s motivation is he wants Trump’s endorsement for his KS senate run.

But wouldn’t his West Point education have taught him that his first loyalty is to the nation? His desire for advancement clearly outweighs any scruples he may have. He is demonstrating that either he is a coward or, like Trump, cares only about his career and not about our country. Of course, it’s also possible, like others before him, that he believes that by cowering before this wannabe dictator he is protecting the nation from even worse.

If these members or former members of the Trump administration ever publicly came out and revealed what they know of Trump’s obeisance to Putin — they could succeed in actually bringing this traitor down but they may all be too compromised themselves to take this stand.
