you'd think that at some point, self-preservation would kick in.

But, the people we are talking about are arrogant beyond our capacity to understand. They really believe that they run the world and can do whatever they please without consequences.

Hopefully, they are dead wrong.

with his generals and the ways his staff tried to constrain him while publicly expressing support for him, I believe he will testify truthfully.

Remember this from 11/10/20? I’ll never forget it.

Pompeo Promises 'A Smooth Transition To A Second Trump Administration'

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is insisting that the U.S. election has not been decided. He also predicted that President Trump will prevail, backing Trump's reluctance to begin the transition to President-elect Joe Biden's administration.

"There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration," Pompeo said during a briefing Tuesday. "All right? We're ready."

The secretary was replying to a Fox News reporter's question about whether the State Department is preparing to work with the Biden transition team – and whether a delay could raise a potential national security risk or hinder a smooth transfer of power.

Because his personal Gawd guides his every move. He's special, one of the Elect and had a right-hand seat to Jesus in his version of Heaven.
The man is clever, not smart. And certainly not wise. Because the devil in his conscience is really his master, not any sort of supreme being.

He won't talk to the J6 committee because they're beneith him, and he's maybe just clever enough to figure out how to avoid talking to the DoJ if cornered.

will do whatever he thinks is in his own best interest. Behind all the grinning and the aww-shucks-I'm-just-a-god-fearing-guy-from-the-heartland spouting is a prick with a monstrous ego.
