Who Is Mike Pompeo?
Who is Mike Pompeo? by Jack in the Antipodes 11 November 2020 It seems like an odd thing to be talking about the US Secretary of State at a time like this, but Mike Pompeo is in some ways the most interesting person left in Donald Trump’s inner circle. So I want to give some background and then put into some context a couple of things he’s said recently that should have raised more interest than they did. First up, Wikipedia says that he was born on 30 December 1963 to parents Wayne Pompeo and Dorothy (nee Mercer). It doesn’t say what his parents did for a living but their family tree shows up nothing remarkable to my untrained eye, other than a great-great-grandmother on his mother’s side who was a Bechtel, and a great-grandfather on his mother’s side who was called Ulysses Grant Mercer. As Ulysses was born in 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War, I’d guess that it was a tribute to General Grant, who would have had the celebrity status in those days that we attribute to movie stars in the present. Miles: no, more likely they were related. That is what we have always found. And Bechtel links us to the Bechtel Corporation, the largest construction company in the US, which built the nuclear plants including Three Mile Island. It was founded by Warren Abraham Bechtel, Jewish, who on his maternal side was also a Bentz and an Alspach. Also a Greenawalt and a Moyer on this father's side.

HCOR Gov Ops IG Testimony 4-15-2021E PDF
Testimony of Liz Hempowicz, Director of Public Policy Project On Government Oversight before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Subcommittee on Government Operations on “Restoring Independence: Rebuilding the Federal Offices of Inspectors General” April 20, 2021 Chairman Connolly, Ranking Member Hice, and members of the subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to testify today about inspectors general. I am Liz Hempowicz, director of public policy at the Project On Government Oversight (POGO). POGO is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that investigates and exposes waste, corruption, abuse of power, and when the government fails to serve the public or silences those who report wrongdoing. We champion reforms to achieve a more effective, ethical, and accountable federal government that safeguards constitutional principles. Congress enacted the Inspector General Act of 1978 to create a system of overseers who work within—but independent of—federal agencies. The resulting offices are charged with detecting and preventing waste, fraud, and abuse, and with promoting economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in their respective agencies’ operations. Before the law’s enactment, these efforts fell to the agencies themselves, and were often under-resourced and low priority.1 It is important to ensure that the federal government is responsibly and faithfully executing the programs created by Congress and funded by the public, and the 95th Congress believed that the agencies had “clearly failed to make sufficient and effective efforts to prevent
