The Democrat-controlled House Foreign Affairs Committee has initiated contempt proceedings against Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, citing multiple controversies. (Mediaite)
On Friday, the House Foreign Affairs committee announced that it will begin work on a resolution to hold Pompeo in contempt of Congress. The committee cited Pompeo’s ongoing refusal to comply with their subpoena into his records as a primary reason why it is initiating the contempt proceedings.
In a statement, outgoing Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) — who chairs the committee — slammed Pompeo over what he called an “alarming disregard” for the law.
“From Mr. Pompeo’s refusal to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry to his willingness to bolster a Senate Republican-led smear against the President’s political rivals to his speech to the RNC which defied his own guidance and possibly the law, he has demonstrated alarming disregard for the laws and rules governing his own conduct and for the tools the constitution provides to prevent government corruption,” Engel wrote. “He seems to think the office he holds, the Department he runs, the personnel he oversees, and the taxpayer dollars that pay for all of it are there for his personal and political benefit.”
In a virtual press conference earlier this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) condemned potential Hatch Act violations during the RNC, but suggested that looking into such possible misconduct is not a top priority at the moment.
The State Department has not yet responded to requests for comment as of this article’s publication.

Just a bunch of dumb-a– democraps. Remember to vote in November so we can get Pelosi OUT!!! She is such a LOSER!
Pelosi needs to be removed from speaker job they selfish the only real important to them is there agenda is there wishlist.
She should be fed feet first into a wood chipper. And hope it jams halfway.
If anybody has the word “contempt” in their description, it is the Democrats! These are the worst of the worst and I pray all will be removed come November!
Unfortunately Mary Lou, the Democraps ate expected to win more seats in both houses. How the idiot voters can keep electing the dirty rotten libtards who treat the voters for like shit. Tis said the voting public gets the government it deserved.
I have not seen anywhere that can happen everything I hear is they are going to lose a bunch and I pray that happens
Wrong first name, but good Everly Brothers song from “Back in the day”.
TALKING ABOUT DISRESPECT OF THE LAW I IMAGINE HALF OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD BE PROSECUTED.
I think you should change the word to electrocuted!
AFTER THE COUP D’ETAT AND WITCH HUNT THE PRESIDENT SHOULD REQUEST FROM THE SUPREME COURT THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BE DISSOLVED FOR TREASON.
Just get a copy of every Democrat’s and the Rhinos off shore bank accounts and FINALLY show the people just how extensively corrupt the Democratic Party actually is.
Relentless, shameless actions – just can’t stand losing. Vote Republicans back into the house and unseat Pelosi and her soulless members. Again on the low road.
Wasting more money and time. Don’t these zombies have something constructive to do?
I’m reclaiming my time!! I think some finger pointing would be in order. Which finger? Read between the lines.
LOL! “You’d be the number one ‘Alpha Hotel’ in my book, ‘Congress Critter’!”.
Mike Pompeo is Doing an EXCEL LENT JOB. PRESIDENT TRUMP has a GREAT Group of TEAM PLAYERS. The DEMOCRAT Run CITIES SPEAK forTHEMSELVES. From SamuraiQueen.?
Democrats just never stop wasting taxpayer money. They all admitted under oath that there was nothing there with Trump and Russia yet taxpayers paid for that sideshow. It’s been years since these scummy democrats have actually earned their paychecks not to mention all the tax money they have wasted. They need to be held accountable for all this waste.

Now you seem to forget the Barr Durham investigation which found nothing after a year of traveling the World on your and my dime, and had to charge someone with something that the Dept. IG had already written up in his report, saying the violation would change nothing because there was so much solid evidence to support the FISA warrants. Now shall we hold Barr and Trump accountable for that waste
I suspect more will come of that investigation. There was also no justification for the FISA warrants as has been seen through the documents which are finally coming to light. The previous admin cronies were hellbent to interfere with a duly elected President through any means possible, including spying. Go troll somewhere else you dumba$$ libtard.
Are you familiar with this legal doctrine:https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fruit_of_the_poisonous_tree>,?
You are obviously on crack. Go to rehab before your mind permanently changes to mush. Reality is a blessing. Try to experience it before you check out.
Contempt of Congress? BwaHAHAHAHA!! As long as the Democraps are running the show, who, pray tell, has anyone with any sense, have anything but Contempt For Congress? 18% Approval Rating, that’s a historical low. In other words Representative Engle, you all SUCK!!!
And Engel, as I recall, u r effen history.
Good luck. This has to be enforced by the Justice Department and we have seen under Holder in Fast and Furious it is ignored.Any such action is dismissed when a new congress is elected. Congress, dependent largely on moral force to get respect for its subpoenas, no longer has much. “People just don’t see this as an institutional battle that concerns the system of separation of powers and Congress’s legitimate” powers, Constitutional lawyer Rozell said (George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government).
You should never annoy a tiger by grabbing him by the tail – they have teeth in the other end.
The Demon Crats are so worried that Trump will win again and spoil their Marxist agenda!
They just don’t get it, they’ll never learn…
TRUMP 2020 if our republic is to survive ??????
Delusional Leftist BS!
Eat shit, Engel
Hypocrites. How many of them voted to hold Eric Holder in contempt after the Fast and Furious debacle?
U got to be kidding, u corrupt dummycraps, commit every crime in the book, that’s why were going to vote a lot u radical.liberals out. Crazy piglosi,lying crying chuck the smuck schumer,D.frankenstein, a.Dipshift,M.Waters,AOC,Talib,pressley,Omar will all be gone after the election,with the republicans taking back the house. U can have some cheese with all that whining u will be doing.
Can I make a donation of huge crying towels to the demonrats?
The house is try to play court ? I don’t believe any of them have a law degree. And using that office to torture citizens seems illegal to me. Nancy is not the queen and able to “summon” people for her whims
How do you spell Pelosi…….C..U..N..T
We must get rid of all DemocRATS
FOR A FREE STRONG GOD FEARIN JESUS WORSHIPING COUNTRY W.GUN RIGHTS , RELIGUS RIGHTS VOTE REPUBLICAN, THE DEMO-RATS WANT USA TO BECOME A BROKEN DOWN SOCIALIST SHI–HOLE LIKE VENUSIVALA , AND OTHER DESSOLVING COUNTRIES, LEAD BY DEMO-RAT TYPE DIP SHI–HEADS
It can well be considered a point of honor and pride to held in contempt by this Democrat House. They have proven themselves without any value in support of American citizens, only seeking various nefarious ways to gain power for themselves. Fortunately, they have also proven very incompetent.
To be held in contempt by these lunatics is actually a badge of honor at this point. Way to go, Pompeo!
I will admit it. I have CONTEMPT for Congress. Any patriotic America should have contempt for Congress. Look at Schitt. He claimed almost one hundred times to have irrrefutible evidence of Trump’s collusion with; Russia. And has yet to produce ONE single detail or fact.
God help them. They will answer to the very God they don’t believe in Matthew 12;36i.
I hope Pompeo is laughing at this!
