Interesting that in one exchange between Lev Parnas and another gang member, Pompeo is described as next in line for firing after Bolton.
I suspect Pompeo sees himself as an honest survivor, keeping Trump from going totally rogue. And an irritant, from the gang's viewpoint.
That's not quite how he appears from the outside, f course.
Barr, of course, is careful to make sure his position is defensible, but he's as bad as Trump, insofar as his brain isn't filled with moths and he still does what he does.
