"Not totally in the loop": Republicans fear Mike Pence has lost his spot in Trumps inner circle
‘Not totally in the loop’: Republicans fear Mike Pence has lost his spot in Trump’s inner circle
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/not-totally-in-the-loop-republicans-fear-mike-pence-has-lost-his-spot-in-trumps-inner-circle/
On the heels of Gen. Michael Flynn’s resignation it has been revealed that Vice President Mike Pence spent weeks doing television interviews delivering information based on Flynn’s statements. That information from Flynn has now been found to be a lie and intelligence officials and former officials revealed Flynn discussed American sanctions with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak prior to the inauguration.
Writing for the Washington Post, Robert Costa and Ashley Parker noted that no one sought to tell Pence that he had been misled for weeks, despite having the information. In fact, Pence only found out after the Washington Post broke the story that Flynn lied. Yet, aides to both the president and vice president report that the men speak on the phone or in person multiple times each day.
William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, asked if the ordeal weakened Pence and claimed that everybody is trying to figure out that fact.
Marc Lotter, a spokesman for the vice president, told the Post that Pence only became aware of the Flynn situation last Thursday. “He did an inquiry based on those media accounts.”

...wrong. They are happy to portray him as "out of the loop" so he'll be "clean" for the Presidency.
