    Pompeo violated ethics rules by asking staff to carry out personal tasks, watchdog finds

    I worked for the federal government, I would not have done any of these personal tasks for that fat pig and his sow wife, not even getting him a cup of coffee?!! I hope the staff that did this were ass-kissers, bootlickers, or brown-noses?!!

    Washington (CNN) The State Department's independent watchdog found that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his wife Susan Pompeo violated federal ethics rules by making over 100 personal, non-work related requests to department employees -- from ordering gifts to booking salon appointments and taking care of the family dog.

    The Department's Office of Inspector General "found that both Secretary and Mrs. Pompeo requested that the political appointee and other employees in the Office of the Secretary undertake work of a personal nature, such as picking up personal items, planning events unrelated to the Department's mission, and conducting such personal business as pet care and mailing personal Christmas cards," according to the report. "OIG found that such requests were inconsistent with Department ethics rules and the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch."

    The report, which was published Friday, also noted that the Pompeos directed one of their employees to use State Department funds "to purchase items, such as gold nut bowls, for when the Pompeos visited the homes of friends or attended dinners held in their honor by private U.S. citizens."

    The release of the report comes as Pompeo has given strong signals he may be planning to run for president in 2024. The former top US diplomat recently traveled to Iowa and joined Fox News as a contributor.

    The watchdog agency opened the inquiry into the Pompeos' possible misuse of taxpayer resources in 2019 following a whistleblower complaint.

    What a shock! The appointee of one of the most corrupt IMPOTUSx2, engaging in ethics violation! Who would have ever expected this?

    Example number five billion of why you do not put people who hate government in charge of running the government.

    They have no interest in effective, clean government. They simply view government as a way to enrich themselves, accrue power, and lord themselves over the serfs.

    If he wanted servants, why didn't he just hire his own? surely he's got the money. What's the matter with him? Doesn't he know right from wrong?

    That fact that #TRE45ON appointed him answers your question.

    It's hard to believe that his bio claims that he graduated first in his class at West Point. Apparently the principles that they instill in cadets did not stick with him.

    Democrat President ,Lyndon Johnson, used to frequently make White House staffers watch him while sat on a toilet in the Executive Mansion and emptied his bowels. He also used to fart loudly (at will) during meetings with Cabinet members in the Oval Office.

    Like all Democrats he was a revolting, vulgar pig.
