Answer To A Question Asked On TV Yesterday, How Can You Explain The Craven Criminality of Pompeo?

Before Trump there was the criminal Nixon, there was Ronald Reagan, who I believe still holds the record for most appointees indicted and convicted of crimes done in office.  There was Bush I who in order to escape investigation needed to pardon a whole raft of indictable scum (William Barr writing up the pardons for him) and Bush II who lied us into the illegal invasion of Iraq based on lies, killing hundreds of thousands and empowering some of the worst actors in the Middle East, who did so much damage to the country and crashed the economy so his billionaire buddies could steal everything.  To whine that the criminal Pompeo is some kind of outlier when he's typical of Republican-fascism is ridiculous.
