Right. That makes perfect, logical sense. Pompeo as CIA Director and Secretary of State in waiting defied the direct orders of the President and met with Kim Jong Un to take some pics.
I assume there is a real source for this statement? Not wording that can be twisted to mean what you want it to mean, but a proven source that backs up your claim that Pompeo was ordered NOT to meet with him and that Pompeo defied those orders and did it anyway.
I am open to being proven wrong.
If you are referencing this:

"Trump says Pompeo was not originally scheduled to see Kim Jong Un on secret North Korea visit"
"Outgoing CIA Director Mike Pompeo was not originally slated to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his secret trip to Pyongyang, President Trump said Thursday.
“He wasn't supposed to meet with Kim Jong Un. They arranged that,” Trump said during a phone interview with “Fox & Friends.” Trump said Pompeo and Kim spoke for more than an hour during the Easter weekend and “had a great meeting.” He added that there are “great pictures” of the meeting that he hopes to release soon."
That is
NOT what you said above. Please save that kind of thing for someone it will work on.
