Pence said he only just heard about it in a FOX news interview.
BUT, Elijah Cummings sent a letter about this subject to the Transition Team of which PENCE was the head.
So poor innocent Pence had plausible deniability about Flynn and Russia.
But then this whole Turkish thing... oh dear.

(82,849 posts)Rep. Cummings' letter didn't begin with "Pay to the Order of" so Mike didn't bother to read it.
Although I have to say that Spicer's lame excuse that the Trump administration expects people are making full disclosures on their questionnaire is just pathetic. This isn't like hiring some subcontractor for one of Trump's ugly buildings, this is the U.S. government, in charge of everything in the country. The candidate questionnaire is the starting point for checking up on a person, not the end point.

(1,353 posts)That he was a foreign agent...and of course didn't say that Pence knew or didn't know earlier... Just dodged the question.
Where is Rachel going with this next?? She's been amazing lately!

(92,382 posts)this everyday here. Rachel said this or that, with assumptions that their whole house of cards will come tumbling down.
The Democrats control zip, and everyone of trump's nominee's had no problem getting confirmed, even Flynn got confirmed. Sessions was caught in an act of perjury, and he isn't going anywhere

(80,708 posts)I'm thinking it goes somewhere, it leads somewhere. My gut feeling is, it has to, because it sounds like there's so much percolating under the surface, that so many of these things were done so blatantly, so shoddily, that it's only a matter of time, and not that much time at that.
But we're totally off the map, at this point. I have no idea what's going to happen.

(92,382 posts)significant, the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate.
When the break-in occurred in 1972, it took two years, but it moved along pretty consistently during those two years.
With the republican control of the Senate and House, along with the stacking of the justice department, I am sorry to say, but this isn't going anywhere in my view

(9,865 posts)...for being life-long grifters, they'd be better at lying. I guess the rich and powerful are so used to skating and getting away with anything and everything, that they become careless. Then one day, it really does get too big.
