Well, Pence started with the false patriotism, so he was left with few scoundrel-saving tools.

“Williams described the call as ‘very positive’ and said there was no mention of investigations…”

Clearly, some damning piece of evidence in that call flew under Williams’ radar.

Something in that conversation is an existential threat to Whitey.

Pence hasn’t sweat this much since his browser hung on Grindr.

This is what happens when you don’t get any sleep and can’t rely on your staff to carry the ball to give you time to sort things out. You start commisserating with your cabinet and the press about light bulbs and toilets.

While Pence will not declassify the phone call, he was kind enough to let us all know it was the perfect phone call. As perfect as a call between two happily married, heterosexual males totally unconcerned about their masculinity could be.

Though I have to admit I’m confused why he won’t release it, it’s not like he was talking to a woman or something.

it’s because they have powerful backers and they know they’ll get away with their crimes. And they’re stupid. The powerful backers don’t want smart puppets.

And for some reason he wants the public to know too. For all their stonewalling, he’s been wrong-footing them the whole time. Seriously it doesn’t look good to retroactively classify stuff you’ve given in evidence.
