CIA Director Mike Pompeo did not disclose last year that he owned a business linked to a Chinese government-owned company, McClatchy reported.

Pompeo — who was recently nominated by Trump to be secretary of State — failed to disclose his business’ ties to a Chinese government oil and gas company in the questionnaire he was required to fill out to be confirmed as CIA director by the Senate.

That omission could be an issue for him during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday to be secretary of State.

Senators did not bring up his links to the Chinese government during his confirmation to be CIA director last year. He was confirmed by a 66-32 vote, with 14 Democrats voting in favor of his confirmation.

Pompeo will need at least a few Democrats to support his confirmation. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has opposed his nomination, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will not be present for the vote as he continues receiving cancer treatment.

2. The Repubs will have no problem with it.

They'll just ask him if he has any problem being objective about China. He'll say no. So they'll confirm.

Just like they would ask Trump if anyone on his team met with the Russians about working to interfere in the election. He'd say no. They'd say "Okay, then. That settles that."

11. That asshat is a Trump YES man through and through.......

Still remember when he was a Rep from Kansas and voted to roll back restrictions on the amount of mercury that coal plants could spew out. Then he voted to keep GMO food from being clearly labeled as to what the hell was in it.

He's a piece of SHIT,always has been,always will be. He'd LOVE to get a War going................

12. And Why?

Why did Pompeo not disclose information required of him in his confirmation questionnaire? Because he’s a typical Republican sheister. Lie, conceal, cheat until you can no longer. Then continue lying as if you have no clue why you’re being asked to explain. Then, there’s Bolton. If you ask Bolton a question, you’ll never know when he will throw a box end wrench in your general direction.
What a mess we’re in.
