Defense secretary admits he did not see specific evidence of a threat to the four embassies.

Esper: The president didn't cite a tangible... he didn't say there was a specific piece of evidence. What he said is he probably he believed

Interviewer: Are you saying there wasn't one?

Esper: I didn't see one.

Imminent threat my foot . Pompeo is a liar.

What your link actually says: "I didn't see the intelligence about Iran posing an imminent threat to 4 US embassies, but I believe President Trump when he says there was one."

I'm quoting the actual words used in the video. If I could have directly embedded the video I would have but like I said, Twitter video sucks.

Esper: What the president said is that he believed, that it probably and could have been attacks against additional embassies.

Regardless, he's the Secretary of Defense and he didn't see specific evidence! Are you going to claim that it would compromise "sources and methods" to inform *him* of the evidence? Don't you think he should be told what that evidence was even after the fact since the "threats" are not gone just because Soleimani is dead?

Pompeo is a liar. Big fat Christian liar.

How do you know it's no Pompeo telling the truth?

Esper is saying he believes something because Trump says he believes it. It would be hard to prove someone is lying when they merely refer to their beliefs (though not impossible).

Here is what Pompeo says, however

"We had specific information on an imminent threat and those included attacks on US embassies. Period, full stop," said Mr Pompeo as he announced new sanctions against Iran.
