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.

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 -

(20,998 posts)...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!
