Here's why Pence is sufferin' in his jocks right now

Violation: 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (False Statements)

Page 9, Papadopoulos Indictment.

The agents further informed defendant PAPADOPOULOS that he needed to be truthful and warned that he could get " in trouble" if he
lied. The agents also advised him that lying to them "is a federal offense."

He's as dirty as the rest of them. He figured he had no chance in 2016, and therefore would never be called on his infractions of the law. In the immortal words of my idiot ex-governor, "oops."

How did that help him? I just thought he had an idiot pilot - reporters were saying that shit was happening all the time on that plane.

Nixon's.

It's a horrid thought knowing #46 could also be elected by one vote...

Putin's.

Strange times, these are.

A fantasy of mine is that it happens fast and furious after the 2018 election when the Democrats control congress.

I doubt it will happen - we live after all in a country stupid enough to have allowed the most stupid debt ridden failure billionaire to lead it - but it's a nice fantasy.

If there is a downside of a Trump impeachment, Pence is it.
