The ancient historians who covered the period of Roman history in Pompey's days were Appian and Cassius Dio. Plutarch wrote a short biography of Pompey. Cicero was not a historian. He wrote a few things about Pompey in his letters. He wrote about specific matters that were happening in Roman politics, some of which involved Pompey. Atticus was not a historian either. He was one of the people Cicero wrote his letters to. He did not write anything about Pompey.

Cicero earnestly believed in the ideal of the Roman Republic, one equally balanced by the consuls, the Senate, and the Triubunal of the Plebs (Plebians). Therefore, when Caesar defeated the consul Gnaeus Pompey, Cicero saw Caesar as a threat to his beloved Republic, as did many. And, although Caesar wasn't the monarchy-loving despot his enemies made him out to be, he was not above ignoring constitutional restrictions in order to do what he felt was best for the Roman people.The action that deeply embittered Caesar to Cicero occured in 45 BCE, when he was declared dictator perpetuo - dictator in perpetuity, or dictator for life. Cicero felt this only confirmed his suspicians that Caesar wished to usurp the Repulic of Rome and establish a monarchy. Cicero was never outspoken in his resentment of Caesar (may of his critics suffered somewhat grisly fates) but he was symathetic for plots to remove him from office. Despite this, he took no part in Cassius and Brutus' poorly composed plot to kill Caesar, and although he sympathesied with their aims, he felt the plot itself to be naive as to the aftermath of Caesar's death.

Cicero's goals differed from those of Caesar. Pompey and Crassus did not have any specific political goals, except for power when they were in the First Triumvirate. In fact after the end of the Triumvirate Pompey and Caesar drifted apart and Pompey ended up being Caesar's enemy. It i likely that Pompey and Crassus backed Caesar just because of his popularity. Cicero and Caesar belonged to two opposite political factions. Caesar was a popularis. The populares (plural of popularis) championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to improve the lot of the poor. Cicero was an optimate. The optimates were a conservative faction which supported the interests of the aristocracy.
