It seems apparent from reliable sources that Mike Pompeo did NOT serve in the first Gulf War, but nearly half of his public bios--including his Wikipedia page--and contemporary write-ups claim he did. Is this something he's been content to leave uncorrected?

These idiots always get busted with this stuff. Pompeo has a hell of a resume without trying to inflate it through combat service. We could face a possibility that he doesn't get SecState and can't go back to CIA while the CIA nominee also struggles to get confirmed.

Hmm.. He was a Captain in 2-7 CAV, which didn't go. He probably told someone he served "during" Desert Storm and not "in" Desert Storm and he didn't bother to correct anyone.

Even the CIA is shitting on him

The CIA is the ones who brought it up.

They're promoting Bloody Gina though. I guess they have a dog in this fight.

Now this guy here, he's having a rough go of a political career:

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) was charged with a felony on Friday for using an improperly obtained list of donors from his charity during his 2016 campaign, according to the Associated Press.
Greitens was charged by St. Louis prosecutors on Friday for using a donor list from his charity, The Mission Continues, without the group's knowledge.
He already paid a fine to the state Ethics Commission because he failed to initially report the list as a campaign contribution.
The felony charge of tampering with computer data adds to a previous charge against Greitens for taking and sharing without consent a photo of a nude woman he was having an extramarital affair with in 2015.
Greitens has been facing calls to resign after allegations of sexual misconduct.

Greitens had a shining fucking future ahead of him until this shit. Navy SEAL up to the rank of LCDR, Doctorate in Philosophy from Oxford, switched from Democrat Party in 2015. Presidential aspirations would have definitely been there.

But I'm pretty sure he is fucked now, innocent or not.

President Trump's legal team is bracing for the possibility that Michael Cohen could flip on the president and cooperate with prosecutors, according to a New York Times report.
Cohen, a longtime personal attorney and fixer for Trump, has repeatedly pledged his loyalty to the president, insisting that he would go to any length to protect his former boss.
But now, as details of a months-long criminal probe into Cohen's work emerge, Trump's lawyers and advisers have come to terms with the idea that Cohen could ultimately cooperate with investigators.

What's he gonna flip on? Isn't this all a hoax or a witch hunt?
