There was no lie.  He was asked about the whistleblower's complaint and he said he hadn't seen it.  No lie in his statement.  [/quote]

He was asked about his knowledge of the conversations...

The conversations that he is just now admitting to being a part of.

Here it is:

RADDATZ: And I want to turn to this whistleblower complaint, Mr. Secretary. The complaint involving the President and a phone call with a foreign leader to the director of national intelligence inspector general. That's where the complaint was launched by the whistle-blower. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that President Trump pressed the president of Ukraine eight times to work with Rudy Giuliani to investigate Joe Biden's son. What do you know about those conversations?

POMPEO: So, you just gave me a report about a I.C. whistle-blower complaint, none of which I've seen. I can tell you about this administration's policies with Ukraine. I remember the previous administration was begged -- begged by the Ukrainian people to deliver defensive arms, so that they could protect themselves from Vladimir Putin and Russia. And they gave them blankets. This administration took seriously the responsibility of the Ukrainian people. We've provided now on multiple occasions resources, so that the -- the Ukrainians can defend themselves. We've worked on that. We -- we're working -- we'll see President Zelensky this week. We want a good relationship with the Ukrainian people.[/quote]

And, Raddatz stated information that wasn't true.  As we know, there was no "eight times."  Since Pompeo was part of that conversation, he knew this wasn't true. 
Given her question, he may have wondered if the complaint was about the conversation he was party to.  Or, a different one that he was unaware of. 
We now know that she was referring to the conversation he listened in on.  But he didn't know that at the time. 
His answer was perfectly fine.  And, honest.  
You don't answer a question for which you  don't have all the information.  [/quote]

BK fan girls are now Pompeo fan girls! You sure do love your privileged bad boys[/quote]

Nah. I happen to presume positive intentions.  You could learn a bit from doing that.  [/quote]

I like to do that too.

I'm often disappointed.  Pompeo's tactics inside State don't engender confidence.  "I really don't care, do u?" seems to sum up so much in this administration.
