Pompeo on election results: 'There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration'

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo battled reporters over President Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the presidential election, predicting “there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration” despite the fact that former Vice President Joe Biden is the projected winner of the race.

The comment from Pompeo, a top ally of the president, came during a combative news conference at the State Department on Tuesday when the Cabinet member was asked whether the agency is prepared to engage with Biden’s transition team.

"There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration," Pompeo replied.

“We're ready,” Pompeo continued. “The world is watching what's taking place. We're gonna count all the votes. When the process is complete, there'll be electors selected. There's a process. The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly. The world should have every confidence that the transition necessary to make sure that the State Department is functional today ... and successful with a president who's in office on Jan. 20, a minute after noon, will also be successful.”

Trump WON.
There has been widespread fraudulent voting.
Demonrats are clamoring for Trump to concede so they won’t end up in JAIL.

This means that it time to book a flight to DC reserve a room and attend Trump’s second inaugural.

From the comments at the CSPAN Twitter video of Pompeo:

“There is no second Trump Administration Mike Pompeo knows this. Joe Biden won fair and square and fair. I’m sick of these people who do they think that they are they just can’t steam roll over all our votes that are cast legally. I hope the new AG will hand down indictments.”

Wow. Amazing how a person’s brain can be stuffed with deception. Facts: There will be a second Trump Administration. Joe Biden did not win fair and square. The poll workers who destroyed ballots for Trump are the workers who steamrolled our votes. The new AG will have nothing to arrest Pompeo.

He was very confident in his statement. He KNOWS he won. Probably knows things we don’t. Wouldn’t have said it so confidently

it is a cnn interview.

state department reporterette: it is a virtual statistical impossibility for what he is saying to become possible. (possibly paraphrased)

at this point, cnn is pure psyops.

glad to hear from pompeo that everything is under control, and nice to hear him stick it to the MSM in the briefing room with a dose of humor. and it is funny to contemplate that the outside world may understand the usa election process better than currently its own citizens do.

it would be nice to have an exit screening question for high school graduates:

complete this phrase by filling in the missing word: the ballot box, or the _____ box.

i wonder how many millenials and immigrants would be able to pass that one.

I agree. He didn't speak like someone who HOPES something comes to pass -- he spoke like something already HAS come to pass.

In the business world Trump did not surround himself with dunces. In the political world, it was something new and it has taken time for Trump to scrape off the rust. Nonetheless, he has a cadre of people he can trust, and Pompeo is an outstanding individual.

The little reported events in Spain and Germany are more significant than folks know. Pompeo is privy to ALL THAT WENT ON.
