Pompeo let the Govs know about the list that China has....naming each US Gov as friendly/not friendly.
How creepy is it, that this list is even in existance?
China,Iran,Qatar—they all have such lists.
They all have been trying to buy influence/data/business secrets.
Governors think they are all geniuses—so they play them like the saps they are in some cases.
Remember ABSCAM (1980)?
Not as creepy as, in view of the antics over the past ten or fifteen years at all levels, having to wonder if there's actually anybody who isn't on that list.
I've got at least two governors in and around Montana who I'd almost guarantee are up to their eyeballs in any graft or corruption you can imagine.
Maybe that is why POTUS tweeted about Coumo cancelled.
