It is time for Mike Pompeo to step down as secretary of state. it's his obstruction of congressional oversight that's most worrisome. Pompeo has dramatically driven the department out of the legal lanes. An unaccountable foreign policy comes with considerable consequences for the country, as we have learned the hard way through difficult experiences like Iran Contra and Kissinger's meddling in Latin America.
