The Real Cover-Up Is Republicans Trying to Cover for Pence

[TomCADem]

What is the most consistent talking point you will hear?

Flynn mislead or lied to Pence and apologized.

There is no mention of Trump. Republicans are setting up their safety valve in the event they ditch Trump, which means pushing the talking point that Pence was somehow kept in the dark.

1. They're afraid of losing one of the few repugs

who at least looks presidential, even though he's a religious nut job

6. It is Uncanny How They Volunteer This TP

This morning on NPR a rep from Texas repeatedly refused to say whether Flynn had gone rogue, but did go out of his way to say that Pence had been mislead.

2. Yep, they're pulling out the stops to portray him as a poor victim who was mislead nt

[Egnever]

3. Yup. They are trying to contain this.

By pretending it was a rogue act. If you buy the idea this was a rogue actor I have lots of bridges for sale.

4. We know that Trump was looking for a VP to do his work for him...

...but isn't Bannon running shit nowadays?

[FSogol]

5. Pence is a gullible chump, bad judge of character, & can't tell when he's getting played by Putin.

He should resign too.

7. YEP - and the media whores are guzzling it up

its stone cold obvious.

8. I just do not believe Pence was 'out of the loop"!!

Serious question, guys: Were you knowingly lying, or did your national security adviser feel comfortable lying to you and causing you to make false statements? Are you dupes, or liars?

We are way ahead of all of them -

10. the long knives are definitely out, and people are jockeying for position.

i think i might have mix some metaphors, there....

11. Pence is their boy... they always assumed tRump*s shelf life was limited...

...they would rather work with Pence anyway... he already knows the secret handshake and has the decoder ring. tRump* was only good for what the Congressional rethuglicans could manipulate him into doing...

Rep. Jason Chaffetz --R, Liar/Hypocrite/Traitor, UT-- will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into a Congressional investigation... it might just hit too close to home for comfort!
