I choose lying for a 1000
My money says he ran a sloppy shop.
With the FBI turning over rocks my guess is we’ll find out soon enough.
My money says that he’ll hear this article title before the day is out.
Very catchy!
Great article pointing out that Pence is either as dirty as Trump or as stupid.
Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil.
The key word is EVIL
Pence’s debut as chief White House know-nothing
Nice, ladies !
So Pence says Pence left out of the loop.
An anonymous source close to the administration complained to NBC on Friday about a “pattern … vis a vis Pence, that he was never, either intentionally or unintentionally, made aware of the facts.”
No, he’s lying. The idea that he was kept out of the loop on all of these things in order to keep him untainted doesn’t make any sense because everyone involved thought they were the masters of the universe and would never get caught. Furthermore, he appears to conveniently have known transition details that were not controversial, so it’s hard to believed he had no inkling of other details.
I think the lie (not in the loop) and necessity of the lie were determined long ago, and even had to do with the selection of Pence for VP. Trump had many big problems - Russian connections, business dealings, the foundation, his temperament and ignorance, etc. - that would probably come out to one extent or another. The Republicans needed someone like Pence - a “righteous, Christian, respected, sincere, believable” (all in quotes, because all not exactly true) former representative and governor - who could sincerely, especially with his radio-show background, defend Trump when necessary, claim to be out of the loop because of Trump’s dictatorial my-way nature and Pence’s not-so-bright persona, and plausibly enough be the innocent Christian victim of left-wing hate and intolerance if challenged or called a liar. And to top it all off, he is a reliable, unquestioning Republican robot who will push through the destructive conservative agenda as told.
I guess you’re losing your money then.
What Did The Vice President Not Know And When Did He Not Know It?
Yes.
OT but it’s so refreshing to see a first couple who are truly in love after enduring 8 years of the icy relationship between the Obamas.

(5 feet between them and she sure seems to slap his hand away at the end.)
(Not to inundate you with replies, since I’m sure you’re going to get a lot of argumentative ones, but…)
If he was running this “sloppy a shop” when he’s surrounded by the Hole in the Border Wall Gang, I’m pretty sure he’d have to be aware he was enabling criminality, and probably said as much to somebody openly hoping for a quick impeachment so he could be President without all that voting business.
But if it goes down as fast and hard as it looks like it might, I’m pretty sure whoever the GOP leaves standing won’t really want to be there except to just get their name into 21st century American history trivia.
Or maybe he’s just rather simple minded and although heard or was told things, did not understand what they meant.
All of the options speak ill of Pence’s character and honor, but no matter what, he’s a toady!
Another tell is that he hasn’t ever appeared to be particularly troubled by the revelations. A VP’s job is typically to sit back and shut up, but daily evidence of a nefarious relationship between DT and the Russians should elicit at least a statement like “I’ll have to discuss this with the president.”
Pence is about as much out of the loop as HW Bush was out of the loop in Iran-Contra.
