A whistleblower complaint from a State Department employee about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s conduct, made public for the first time through a lawsuit and obtained by McClatchy, reveals that eyewitnesses made repeated attempts to inform executive leadership and legal advisers about his “questionable activities.”
The whistleblower said they had additional evidence to back up their allegations against Pompeo, according to a redacted complaint to the State Department inspector general’s hotline. The complainant said concerned parties were “blocked” from reporting the activity to the department’s Office of Legal Affairs.
“I directly witnessed much of the behavior,” the whistleblower wrote. Others, the complaint states, “tried on several occasions to obtain clarifications and guidance from senior leadership in [the executive secretariat] and from the Office of Legal Advisors, but were blocked from doing so.”
The whistleblower wrote that several people — whose names were redacted because of the ongoing inquiry — “were made aware of these concerns on repeated occasions.”
“To my knowledge, none of them ever took action to resolve the issues, and several of them specifically directed subordinate staff to continue facilitating questionable activities after the concerns were raised.” read more…

Pompeo comports himself more like a mafia don than a diplomat. Watching video of him in Ukraine, I thought at any moment Zelensky was going to kneel and kiss his ring.
