Seriously, it’s been five years with this guy and I don’t have an ounce of Stockholm Syndrome. #RescueMe https://t.co/Q7SratHoJ6

If you adopt me, I know a lot of words already! Sit, shake, Saudi, Raytheon, Missile. Seriously, please adopt me.

Seriously. Have you ever seen a dog look this sad on their birthday? The truth behind this photo is that Mike actually ate my birthday cupcake. Not like I’d trust any food from this guy. pic.twitter.com/zn972uF7bS

Feel like we are learning more about aspects of Pompeo’s tenure as secretary of state that he has tried not to disclose in the four days since he had Trump fire the State Dept IG than in the two years before…

"On the government's dime," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been hosting dinners for "billionaire CEOs, Supreme Court justices, political heavyweights and ambassadors," @JoshNBCNews, @strickdc, and @dandeluce report. https://t.co/ARDCAV6Buy

— David Gura 🏡 (@davidgura) May 20, 2020

“I'm not in it for the fancy dinners in Paris or Switzerland or Vienna," Pompeo said in February, alluding to former Secretary of State John Kerry. The night before those remarks, Pompeo hosted another Madison dinner preceded by cocktails. https://t.co/2d3LeYxt2E

'The Secretary looks forward to continuing these Madison Dinners as they are an important component of the execution of his duties as Secretary of State," @statedeptspox says in response to our reporting

— Josh Lederman (@JoshNBCNews) May 20, 2020

“State officials … said they had raised concerns internally that the events were essentially using federal resources to cultivate a donor base for Pompeo's political ambitions—complete w/extensive contact information that gets sent back to Susan Pompeo's personal email address” https://t.co/eQhs2JNxTK

I have no opinion on whether the Madison Dinners actually served a diplomatic function🙄. I’m just here to say that I expected more of this invitation, which looks like it was created by a 12 year old with a dot matrix computer. Dolley Madison didn’t deserve this mess. pic.twitter.com/FnmgvjLCGm

"Two administration officials told NBC News that [former State IG] Linick made some type of inquiry last week, before he was fired, [about the Madison Dinners] to the Protocol office. One of the officials said Pompeo's office was then notified."

Susan Pompeo is under scrutiny after the firing of the State Department’s inspector general – an uninvited turn after relishing the relationships & perks of being a politician’s wife & one who is far more vibrant in the limelight than SecState Mike Pompeo. https://t.co/C33js7S7N4

In today’s toxic State Department, in an administration better known for its malice than its competence, anyone who has risen in these last three years will be forever suspect. https://t.co/yHR80NPDQT via @bopinion
