Bombshell, Pence led transition team and Flynn told them he was

[applegrove]

under investigation. WH denies it. (NY Times and CNN) If Pence knew something why didn't he do something about it and if Pence did not know, why not?

1. It would be one thing if he was an innocent bystander and was told,

he has no legal duty at that point, but Pence was the opposite, he was in charge of the transition.

2. Wow! - you mean Pence knew? - correct me - didn't E Cummings

tell him, Pence, in a letter about Flynn...

Which in turn leads me to the story of how Pence was selected as VP - wasn't (under investigation) Manafort involved in that selection??? - HELLO! -

applegrove - great question - if pence did not know, why not?

[applegrove]

3. That question was CNN's.

[malaise]

4. Of course he knew

Many ReTHUGs are involved. Watch the proceedings!

5. Pence also presided over his staff taking documents from the security rooms and carting

them around town. Probably took them to Kinkos where Boris and Natasha were waiting.

He's up to his eyeballs.

Which gives us Ryan. Ugh.

6. Do you think Trump will name Ryan as go if Pence goes down? I would

think Trump would nominate Christie. Oh i guess Ryan is next in line as House Leader? I'm not American so I Don't know all the ins and outs.

8. Trump gets to pick a new VP.

I doubt it would be Christie, as he has too much baggage to be confirmed, and Jared wouldn't like it.
It would be great if Pence went down before DT.
I'm sure Ryan would not want it for many reasons.

9. I think Trump will go before Pence, but as Speaker, Ryan is after Pence in the line of succession.

[Alice11111]

7. This is not actually new news...the media is just connecting

the dots. I think they can't get the stories out as fast as they are coming in. No administration in history has been so bold with so many corrupt acts. The Repubs are generally corrupt anyway, but this one is fast and furiously corrupt. It is triage to choose which story to work on next.

10. It's All Part of the Plan

It appears that all along, the plan was to install Pence in the White House. He's much more easily controlled by the Republican leadership and he certainly is extremist enough for their needs.
