Pence parsing words, roundabout says that while tRump admitted it, I'm not going to.
Desperate Pence Tries To Save Himself By Throwing Trump Under The Bus On Ukraine
Vice President Mike Pence seemingly sought to put distance between himself and the president on Wednesday by claiming that he – unlike his boss – did not personally talk with Ukraine about getting dirt on Joe Biden.
In remarks to reporters in Iowa, Pence said, “I never discussed the issue of the Bidens with President Zelensky.”
He added, “The issue of aid and our efforts with regard to Ukraine were, from my experience, in no way connected to” any talk of investigating the Bidens.
The vice president is basically saying that, sure, Trump may have tried to extort a foreign power, but he had nothing to do with it.

We all know Pence is a world class liar, playing on his sad puppy-dog face. But while defending that, of course, he never had any wind of any discussion about the Bidens, even though it was in his briefing to talk with Zelensky about and he received notes from tRumps July 25th call from his aide, it NEVER REGISTERED in his mind when he read it.
Yeah, that may play well to your dolt base, but it's not going to fly when we haul you ass in front of one of the impeachment committees.
But anyway, in so parsing his sentences, he basically does not refute that the president did discuss the Bidens, which is an impeachable offense. Doh!
