Pompeo: NIH, Some in State Department Suppressed COVID Probe
Newsmax ^ | June 4 | By Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 06/04/2021 7:58:50 AM PDT by RandFan

Ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is accusing the National Institutes of Health of trying to suppress the Trump State Department's probe into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and says there were even some people in his former department itself that wouldn't work to support the efforts into an investigation.

He also told Fox News' Laura Ingraham Thursday night that comments made by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci sound almost like he is parroting Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

"It should come as no surprise to anyone that there were folks at the State Department who didn't like President (Donald) Trump, didn't like me, didn't like what we were doing and were going to work to thwart our efforts," Pompeo, now a Fox News contributor, told Ingraham.

In addition, Pompeo said he was dealing with "internal debate" from the National Institutes of Health, where "folks were trying to suppress what we were doing at the State Department as well."

The State Department, however, did release documents on Jan. 15 of this year, shortly before Trump left office, that "demonstrate some of the central facts that we now know that lead to overwhelming amounts of evidence" that proves the coronavirus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic "probably" came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

State Department was his. Is he trying to cover his u-no-what or is government just too big?

The politics of destruction and extreme partisanship are like a virulent disease that is far more dangerous than COVID. Its rampant and is destroying the country.

So we’ve all been lied to, what’s new. This is the most corrupt government in the history of mankind. Add to that, they have the most advanced and powerful tools ever know. They have been steamrolling us since Reagan’s time. It was the final nail in our coffin when bush was inaugurated POTUS. Not that we had much choice with gore or lurch. The DHS is over 250k strong and they have an anti-American mandate.

I wonder how long this bureaucratic swamp has been building up? Obama couldn’t have swapped out all fedgov employees with leftists. Or could he? If so, then repubs in senate/house have some blame.

Yep...Pompeo should have, at the very least, spoken out.

But he chose silence and no action.

That speaks volumes of his core Swamp values.

“State Department was his. Is he trying to cover his u-no-what or is government just too big?”

All of the government bureaucracies are huge and over the years have become heavily infested with democrat/socialists career employees. They have developed ways and means to subvert the will of Republican appointed staff, and they do.

This has been a problem with every Republican administration. Attempts to terminate them fail because the government labor union over the years has acquired strong contract language which protects them from being fired.
