I just read that according to the below source, his security detail cost American taxpayers $2,000,000.00 per month! (Two million dollars per mo.)
NewsNation obtained sensitive but unclassified documents that show the cost of protecting Pompeo and one of his aides ballooned in 2021 from nearly $700,000 to more than $2 million each month. About 90% of those public dollars go to Pompeo’s security.
That $2 million mostly covers “vehicle and travel costs for Pompeo’s security agents and his own extensive travel for paid speeches and public events,” according to the documents obtained by NewsNation.
It’s not uncommon for former officials to go on book tours or travel for paid speeches, retired Diplomatic Service Agent Mark Hipp said. But when there’s a credible threat, announcing when and where you’ll be somewhere puts lives at risk, he added.
“There’s a stark difference between a national security mission that’s important for us and then a discretionary trip,” Hipp said. “In all things, especially if there’s a threat from a state sponsor, you’d have to be concerned.”
That’s particularly true when the trip is for personal gain, Hipp said.
Pompeo nets about six figures per speech.
“Most secretaries if not all pretty much do this stuff,” Hipp said. “It’s to what extreme they do it.”
Below is a look at just some of Pompeo’s domestic travels from April to July of 2022. Many of the appearances were announced ahead of time, a factor that Hipp said makes security’s job more complicated.
NewsNation learned that before this year, Congress limited how much it spent on security for former state department officials to $15 million annually. After Pompeo’s detail nearly doubled that amount, Congress rewrote its budget, this year providing as much as $30 million.
Pompeo, according to data obtained by investigators at News Nation, travels continually to speak and be a guest at places all over the world for which he is paid (according to them) about $100k per appearance. Here's a snippet from his 2022 travel calendar:
From March 5 - June 28 he attended 23 functions, each paying him for his appearance.
23x $100,000 = $2,300,000.00 received by Pompeo over 115 days.
$2,300,000.00 divided by 115 days = $20,000.00 PER DAY!
He gets to make $20,000.00 PER DAY, while the taxpayers paid for $67k per day in security!
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? And, why is he in such demand?
Senate Majority leader Thune is similar to Pompeo, I think. Evangelical Christians — a lot of conservatives support Israel as part of their theology. the 1948 creation of the state of modern Israel is as solid to many just as Q posts have markers that have meaning here at GAW. Daniel chapter 9 verses 24-27 talks of Seventy Sevens and the interpretation is kind of wild.
Another example of evangelical proofs.
Example: Mark Twain visited the land around Jerusalem in the 1800s. When he arrived there, the Jewish prayer for the day was something like “God hear us, have mercy.”. Mark Twain = Samuel (he hears God) Clemens (Mercy, clemency). ____ Jonathan Cahn on utube talks about this stuff and how Trump is like one of the kings in ancient Israel.
Well said. Included is Ezekiel 36, Zechariah 31, Isaiah 53, etc. All prophecy to be fulfilled for God’s remnant of Israel. Gentiles, the church, will not be in the earth to witness it, of course, because we’re looking for Christ, not antichrist (the rapture).
thanks for sharing those chapters, I have not read those chapters from his perspective , I have friends who have this perspective of God protecting Gentile followers by taking them up to Heaven , and a few who think God’s protection will be through 7 years. It is important to be ready.
Has there actually been an 'official' announcement of this? All I have seen is simply based on reports by MSM organs from anonymous sources 'familiar with the matter', as they usually say about just about anything.
His security detail may have been removed, but I don't know that this is "official".
Trump was on video, during an EO signing blitz in his office, when asked about this. He said, “SSS security doesn’t last forever”. As to the risk to Pompeo he said, “There’s risks to everything.”
However, I think it needs to be emphasized that the revoking of the security details is evidence or proof that Pompeo is dirty. Some people are asserting that, which I think it patently ridiculous, myself. At some point, security details have to be removed. Leaping to say, "Look! His security was removed! That's proof that DJT thinks Pompeo is a dirty deepstate scumbag traitor!!!" is idiotic. IMO.
Also, the security was maintained during the Biden era, JUST LIKE so many critical and important EOs that Trump put in to place, and which Biden mysteriously refused to rescind. Funny that, right?
Time to kick all of them off the gravy train. Give them what they need to do the job, and when their done serving the country, they can be like the rest of us. If they need security, they can rely on the 2A, just like us.
I've long wondered why people/groups pay people like this so much for a speech. What do they expect to get out of it, especially when the person is not in the government, and doesn't seem to have any power to do anything the person/group paying for the speech might want.

Any time stamp with that, fren?
Edit: 17:11
Doesn’t look like it. Bolton confirmed he lost his but I’m not seeing anything for Pompeo.
Right? Me either. It seems that in no way has this been publicly confirmed, either from Pompeo or from team DJT.
Edit: Trump appears to confirm in a roundabout statement. https://youtu.be/ttMxYsRlVaY?si=FHycHJirpkvGlg_C&t=1031
