So drumf/Bannon threw Pence under the bus today?

WH: The transition team knew about Flynn's Turkish connection$
Pence (head of transition team): I am learning about this just today


Sounds like drumf (well, really Bannon) is turning this into "If I'm going down, so are you and I'll make sure YOU don't become POTUS when I am forced out".


Because don't you think the common sense thing would have been all of them saying before this came out: "Hey, let's all hold a meeting and get on the same page here before we respond and before Pence makes appearances on the news shows".

I think Bannon (you know, the real POTUS) fired a warning shot towards Pence...like "we can and will take you down right along with us".

Wonder how much of this is a fallout of that scream fest meeting that CNN caught on video when their cameras were pointing thru the Oval Office windows and Bannon got left behind when drumf went to Florida last weekend?

1. Rachel covered some of this tonite.

2. Do you have any link to the "scream fest" meeting?

I didn't know it was captured by CNN. I'd love to see it.

5. There was a clip shown on MSNBC

a few days ago. A pool camera was pointed at a window of the Oval Office allowing you to see Bannon yelling and waving his arms around.

8. Here it is

The report first starts to talk about it and then they show it.

11. Thanks very much!

Man, wouldn't the audio have been great??

3. Could be true

but maybe Pence really DID know about it? He's certainly no more trustworthy than trump.

[triron]

6. He did. Rachel's coverage tonite implied that.

10. Oh I didn't mean to imply he didn't know

Maybe throw under the bus was the wrong phrase to use...I think they ALL knew about it but Pence probably was not given the heads up that the WH was going to publically admit the transition team knew.

What better way to have Pence hang himself than to let him be denying knowledge in an interview when it has come directly from the WH that the team knew...the report I saw specifically said "The White House has said...."

So does Pence now backtrack or does the WH try to say (once again) that Pence was "lied to" (by who..the whole fucking team?). Or do they just say nothing and let it be covered in a few news cycles that "Pence lied during the interview" and Pence gets the WH message loud and clear that he better not be making any hidden plans to take office once drumf is gone...because IF I remember correctly a VP can act on the 25th amendment himself and call for impeachment, yes? Bet he won't now.....

14. Oh... I see what you meant now

Thanks for clearing that up. I would love to see Pence go down early like Spiro Agnew.

[Amaryllis]

15. Oh, what a tangled web they weave when first (or thousands of times) they practice to deceive...

4. President Ryan - here we come. nt

9. He definitely thinks he's sitting in the catbird seat

[KittyWampus]

12. not going to happen.

[unc70]

7. Too much contradicting Pence already known widely

All it takes now is just waiting for various members if the cabal to slip up like Pence just did about Flynn. Bannon is at the mercy of Trump or some insider saying or doing something that implicates Bannon in something.

13. Pence was running the cover-up, I mean, the transition.

It's not the crime, it's the cover-up.

I think Mikey's in trouble. He sure did choke on his denial...like it had a bone in it.
