Rep. Elliot Engel, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced Friday the Committee would begin working on a resolution to hold Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in contempt after he spoke at the Republican National Convention this week.
Engel, D-N.Y., said the resolution was a result of Pompeo’s “ongoing refusal” to comply with subpoena records for “political misuse” of State Department resources.
At the convention, Pompeo broke with diplomatic tradition to deliver a speech from Jerusalem touting the president’s foreign policy agenda. The speech stirred an outcry from Democrats who claimed it violated the Hatch Act, but Republicans shrugged off concerns, saying that Pompeo appeared in his personal capacity and no State Department resources were used.

Give them the middle finger and carry on, Mike.
SIX, count them SIX Obama Cabinet persons spoke at the 2012 DNC Convention.
But we know the Dims are just (a) hypocrites and (b) politics 24/7/365.
I wonder if they will bring the same charges and investigate the 5 or 6 Obama cabinet members who spoke at the Dems 2016 or 2012 convention? Nah.
After Eric Holder answers for his contempt charges then maybe the democrats can try to enforce this.
two words about abuse of State Dept resources: Hillary Clinton
I did not know that.
/But Pompeo is a republican, so it is illegal in Nancy’s House!
That didn’t take long. I knew it was coming. The same will happen with Trump doing a campaign on the Rose Lawn.
I don’t think the American people pay any attention to the MSM BS anymore unless they are Trump HATERS and any misery they can bring makes these HATERS happy!! Regular Americans have had ENOUGH of the division RACE CARD and committee hearings constantly!!!
Pompeo’s speech, and the use of the White House doesn’t violate the Hatch Act.
These demonic traitors are just acting like a bunch of chimpanzees flinging poo around to see what sticks.
Whatever.
Count me among them. I don't even watch FoxNews. I have Right Side Broadcasting Network on youtube right now, waiting for the Trump rally. FreeRepublic provides me with enough news to keep me informed and regularly pissed off.
