Donald Trump is a liar, a blustering fool, and a con man. That’s who he was before moving into the White House. That’s who is after moving into the White House. It seems increasingly likely that he’ll be a liar, a blustering fool, and a con man after he’s kicked out of the White House.
But the guy warming up in the bull-shit pen isn’t just the uptight, lily white, hard right, ultra conservative he pretends to be. He’s also a practiced prevaricator who’s neck deep in everything that’s likely to send Donald Trump kicking and screaming into the night. Mike Pence, who by a total coincidence, created his own Trump-free PAC this week, is playing a game designed to leave him holding onto Trump’s dead-enders with one hand and a big writ of “I didn’t know” with the other. To get there, Pence is lying. About pretty much everything. Especially when it comes to what he knew about Michael Flynn ...
PENCE: “Well, let me say, hearing that story today was the first I'd heard of it. And I fully support the decision that President Trump made to ask for General Flynn’s resignation.” …
But just a day later, The Washington Post and others reported that Flynn had informed Trump's legal team that he might need to register as a foreign agent even before Trump was inaugurated. And late Wednesday, the New York Times reported that Flynn also had disclosed that he was under federal investigation for it.
Pence also dug deep into his store of radio talk show host pretense as he lied about his knowledge of why Comey was fired, but it’s in the Flynn scandal where he’s really excelled at blinking with waif-like innocence when it’s clear that he was on the inside at every step.
According to MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid, if President Donald Trump is impeached for his scandal tsunami and cover-ups, Vice President Mike Pence should be forced out along with him.
