Mueller's team would have a notion.

(77,851 posts)The man who helped put Mike Pence a heartbeat away from the presidency is now facing federal charges.
Paul Manafort, who was hit Monday with 12 counts tied to alleged financial schemes, pushed for Pence to become Trump's running mate and even managed to talk Trump out of his doubts. As the Trump administration now works to distance itself from Manafort, his Pence pick stands among the best evidence of his impact as Trump's short-lived campaign manager.
Before Trump formally announced Pence as his vice presidential candidate, it was Manafort who made sure it happened, The New York Times reported last year.

If not, Pence doesn't have anything to be outraged about.

Does Mueller have Pence in his sights also because it is always the quiet second in command ones you should watch most closely as the loud leader struts about.
