QUESTION: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Merry Christmas to you, sir.
POMPEO: Merry Christmas to you as well, Mark. It’s great to be with you.
QUESTION: It’s always a pleasure. First, let me ask you this question: You’ve been Secretary of State how long?
POMPEO: Two and a half years and change after being CIA director.
QUESTION: CIA director, Secretary of State. These are two incredibly prominent positions, foreign policy positions. You’ve worked with President Trump for some time now. Enormous accomplishments by the President and you supporting the President’s agenda, and one of them is confronting China. You’ve been confronting China. You’ve been talking out about China. You’ve been explaining that China is a grave threat to the country. Do you think people now understand that, Mr. Secretary?
POMPEO: Mark, I think they do more than they did four years ago by leaps and bounds, and I think the public has become deeply aware of all the risks that the Chinese Communist Party presents. It’s a direct result of the good work that the President’s done along with the team that he assembled. They can see it, right? Some of them have lost their jobs to Chinese companies that stole their software, their intellectual property. Some of them see it in their schools. They see these Chinese students that are acting in ways that are deeply inconsistent with just somebody who’s coming to study.
So I do think there’s an ever-wider knowledge of that, and of course, we’re all still suffering from this virus that I think the world can now see the Chinese Communist Party covered up and foisted upon the world and – from Wuhan, and now we’re all suffering. Many lives lost and a huge economic impact on the world as well.

SECRETARY POMPEO: That’s right. I can’t say much more as we’re still unpacking precisely what it is, and I’m sure some of it will remain classified. But suffice it to say there was a significant effort to use a piece of third-party software to essentially embed code inside of U.S. Government systems and it now appears systems of private companies and companies and governments across the world as well. This was a very significant effort, and I think it’s the case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was the Russians that engaged in this activity.

The audio interview is at the Mark Levin Link.
Pompeo really didn’t expand on the Russia angle, nor did Levin really ask him to.
It was just in this one sentence that he mentioned it at all.
correct.
Is it possibly that some of Biden’s intelligence briefings contained disinfo to see if his team is leaking stuff to the Chinese and Pompeo’s comment was made to reinforce this disinfo?
Yes, that is true. And it is said that is why Biden is not included in White House Intelligence briefings now.
