Drumpt and Pence both caught in lies about Russia.

snip:

WASHINGTON ― U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies have confirmed that President Donald Trump’s campaign aides and associates had constant contact with Russian intelligence officials before the election, directly contradicting public statements made by top administration officials.

On Jan. 15, shortly before Trump took office, Vice President Mike Pence repeatedly said on television that there were zero contacts between the campaign and Russian officials.

“Just to button up one question, did any adviser or anybody in the Trump campaign have any contact with the Russians who were trying to meddle in the election?” CBS “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson asked.

“Of course not,” Pence replied.

Pence also answered “of course not” when asked a similar question that day by “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace, adding, “All the contact by the Trump campaign and associates were with the American people.”

Trump himself also denied these interactions, according to NBC News on Jan. 11:

Trump did not specifically address questions regarding whether members of his staff were in contact with Russian officials during the campaign. When NBC News repeated that question to Trump afterwards as the president-elect approached the elevator to exit the room, he answered “No.”

This is not Pence and Drumpt repeating Flynn's lies, but their own. Both are fucking Putin boot lickers.

The man can't open his mouth without spewing another LIE. He just can't help himself!

impeachment for Trump and Pence, jail for them also as well as all the actors involved.

Remember Russia hacked only the DNC and obviously passed all info on to the RNC that was curiously not hacked.

Not to mention a do-over on the fake election is in order.

at all, with the documented regularity and frequency is enough to trigger an independent prosecutor investigation.

Will GOPers concur? Nope. Not until Trumpy's approval rating matches that of the GOP Congress. (Although it's possible that when Trumpy's numbers hit an approval rating under 40% the ground may start to shift. Some polling data indicates that Trumpy's at 40% right now.)
