Walls close in on Pence: Mueller hauls in thousands of emails from transition he led [View all]
Thousands of emails from the Trump transition that Mike Pence led are now in the hands of special counsel Robert Mueller. It was during this period that key decisions about Mike Flynn were made by Pence and Trump.
Mike Pence’s time as the head of Donald Trump’s presidential transition is coming under renewed scrutiny with the news that special counsel Robert Mueller has secured access to “thousands” of emails from the team.
Axios reports that sources say “many tens of thousands” of Trump transition emails are now in Mueller’s custody, including some from Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser.
The Trump team did not know Mueller had their emails until the prosecutors working under him used them as the basis for questions asked of the witnesses being questioned in the Russia probe.
Pence particularly may have reason to worry, as Axios notes that the accounts “include the team’s political leadership.”
The emails are said to include “speculation about vulnerabilities of Trump nominees.”

In the middle of this maelstrom, right next to Donald Trump, is Mike Pence. And now the investigator has the behind-the-scenes emails for the entire operation he led.
Pence is complicit, and he cannot escape the taint of this entire scandal. - ShareBlueMedia

Robert Mueller just pulled an ace from his sleeve, and Donald Trump's team just flinched
