Mike Pompeo had security because Iran has issued death threats against him ever since Iranian "general" Qasem Soleimani (i.e., murderous terrorist) was taken out by a U.S. missile strike that was ordered by Trump (Pompeo was the Secretary of State). I do not begrudge security for Pompeo, but if $2 million per month is the real cost of such security, that is frickin' outrageous. Surely we can provide effective security for a helluva lot less than THAT!
