Like Trump, Pompeo runs a meritocracy. Everyone *thinks* they know this woman better than the man who spent time with her in the interview process, knows the job he wants done and her qualifications, and who is responsible for the consequences.
But you all just go on second guessing from your La-Z-Boys, thanks for playing. The adults will continue to run things.
"...second guessing from your La-Z-Boys..." includes supposing Pompeo is incapable of effectively monitoring the performance of his subordinates and the timely production of results he expects. Not at all likely, given his history.
You are right bigbob. Every time something is posted here that I actually know something about, I see how ignorant half of my FRiends are. Me included, I guess!

Not “second guessing.” Just pointing out the FACT that this woman has a long history of directly and fiercely bashing Trump in the media, taking the Bush line on foreign affairs, immigration and trade. If you want quotes, do some googling.
In an intelligently run private sector organization, rewards and appointments go to people who are not just competent, but share the CEO’s vision. It’s not common for CEOs and managers to hire people who’ve been savaging them in the media. Rewarding enemies undermines your agenda, makes you look weak and feckless, and sends a signal to people inside and outside of your organization that they can undermine and attack you with impunity.
“But you all just go on second guessing from your La-Z-Boys, thanks for playing. The adults will continue to run things.”
So says the “Trust Sessions” qook. Sorry, your credibility is shot. Go back to playing in mom’s basement.
Point taken. But I have more time exposed to Kissel’s thoughts than any job interview would glean. She was/is a prolific writer and often talking head on cable. She is still a never Trumper and always will be. Pompeo is hopefully aware and will ignore her when appropriate.
