How Is Mike Pompeo Doing?

I just read a rather convincing and quite brutal assessment of Mike Pompeo’s tenure at the State Department.

Here’s one paragraph:

When the beleaguered and hapless Rex Tillerson was unceremoniously dumped by Trump, morale at the State Department had hit rock bottom and most observers assumed it had nowhere to go but up. This proved to be wrong — morale, by all accounts, has sunk to an even lower level. Trump’s disdain for the State Department, diplomacy, and America’s diplomatic corps bears much of the blame. But Pompeo is not blameless, and he should be held accountable.

The piece appears in CNN; you can read it here.
