CIA Director Mike Pompeo made a top-secret visit to North Korea over Easter weekend as an envoy for President Trump to meet with that country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, according to two people with direct knowledge of the trip.
The extraordinary meeting between one of Trump’s most trusted emissaries and the authoritarian head of a rogue state was part of an effort to lay the groundwork for direct talks between Trump and Kim about North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, according to the two people, who requested anonymity because of the highly classified nature of the talks.
The clandestine mission, which has not previously been reported, came soon after Pompeo was nominated to be secretary of state.
“I’m optimistic that the United States government can set the conditions for that appropriately so that the president and the North Korean leader can have that conversation will set us down the course of achieving a diplomatic outcome that America so desperately — America and the world so desperately need,” Pompeo told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week during his confirmation hearing.

TRUMP chose Pompeo thinking two fat guys could relate to another.

Did he kill him, because he should have killed him.

He sent the head spy to tell Rocket Man we know more than he thinks we do.

Whoever leaked this should be fired, arrested, prosecuted and thrown in jail.
This goes far beyond than just simply shitting on Trump.

Could have been leaked by John Miller if you know what I mean.

Leave it up to WaPo to try and sabotage a peace effort.

I agree with you.
But... don't discount the possibility that Pompeo's people may have been the sources for the WP story. I'm not saying they were, but don't discount the possibility.

well there's still work to be done but this is incredibly big. I had hope for Trump coming in that he would think outside the box and not be beholden to neocon hawks. Imagine if he succeeded where Obama failed.
