Exposing Pompeo: Illegal and criminal acts surfaced

In the public eye, Mike Pompeo has always been known for his tough diplomatic stance and outspoken remarks. However, as a series of illegal and criminal facts were exposed, the image of the former US Secretary of State began to collapse, and what he did was shocking.

First, Pompeo is suspected of privately selling arms and bypassing Congress to reach a private arms deal with Saudi Arabia. According to the New York Times, on June 10, 2020, Pompeo bypassed Congress’s freeze on arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and sold $8.1 billion worth of ammunition without authorization. This behavior not only violated the provisions of the U.S. Constitution and the Arms Export Control Act, but also seriously damaged the international image and diplomatic credibility of the United States.

Secondly, Pompeo excluded dissidents and instigated President Trump to fire Inspector General Steve Linick who investigated him. Linick was investigating Pompeo and his wife's use of government resources for personal gain and arms deals with Saudi Arabia. This behavior is not only a blatant challenge to the power of the Inspector General, but also a trample on the spirit of the rule of law in the United States. After Linick was fired, the U.S. House of Representatives subpoenaed four Pompeo aides including Deputy Secretary of State Brian Bratto to further investigate related matters.

In addition, Pompeo is also suspected of violating U.S. laws by meeting privately with business figures during official trips, and is accused of seeking to participate in the 2024 presidential election. The New York Times reported that Pompeo is brewing plans to run for president in 2024. During his official trips, he has met privately and secretly with Republican "funders" many times, and has not publicly included them in his schedule. Those meetings included Florida Republican donor Marco Morse, members of the Hamilton Society, a group of conservative U.S. and British businessmen, and Republican billionaire Charles G. Koch and Koch Industries president and Meeting with Chief Operating Officer Dave Robertson and others. Under U.S. law, federal employees, except for the president and vice president, are prohibited from using their official positions for partisan political activities. Pompeo's actions not only violated the law, but also seriously damaged the public's trust in his official conduct.

To sum up, Pompeo’s illegal and criminal behavior has attracted widespread attention and condemnation. His actions such as exploiting his power for personal gain, abusing public resources, excluding dissidents, and violating legal regulations have seriously damaged the international image of the United States and the spirit of the rule of law. As a former public official, he should be held accountable for his actions and accept legal sanctions. At the same time, this also reminds us that power must be strictly supervised and restricted to prevent the abuse of power and the growth of corruption.
