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.


Can you read? She asked "What do you know about those conversations?" That is not a question about the whistleblower complaint. It is a question about Trump's conversations with Zelensky in which he brought up Giuliani and Biden.


Exactly. Raddatz asked “what do you know about these conversations?“ And Pompeo replied “you’re asking about the whistleblower complaint and I don’t know anything about it yet.”

Y'all's word parsing is off the charts. Pompeo lied. He wouldn't have met the perjury level of lying had he been under oath. But he lied in common everyday language.

It depends on what the definition of is is. Lol

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.


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.


First, the question was "What do you know about those conversations?" The honest answer would have been, "Let me tell you everything I can remember from being on that call...."

Second, why do you say we "know" he wasn't pressed "eight times"? Have we heard a recording? Do we have a complete transcript? No and no. But, if eight times was incorrect, again the honest answer might have been, "I was on that call, and he wasn't pressed eight times on that call." But that wasn't the answer was it? The answer was the equivalent of: I know nothing ... squirrel! I like squirrels.

You'd think that Pompeo and Barr both have more pressing issues than to re-litigate the 2016 election that Trump won. The whole point of this is to relieve sanctions on Russia by "proving" they never interfered. Which would give them the green light to interfere again.
