We've heard about everyone else, where's ANY info about Pence in the report? Is Pence in any of the redacted material?
No mention of him and no one thought to ask Barr or anyone about him.
Makes little sense since we all heard he might have ties to whatever.
Anyone?

(115,695 posts)because he was never part of the Trump inner circle, and even though he kisses Trump's ass every chance he gets, I don't think Trump trusts him or has much use for him. He might be up to his own unrelated dirty work, but unless there's something in the redacted parts, apparently Mueller didn't find anything significant that was related to the Russia investigation.

Mike Pence has to be shaking in his boots right now. Paul Manafort chose Mike Pence as Trumps VP for a reason, and now Robert Mueller is about to find out exactly why. Im willing to bet it wasnt because Manafort thought it was cute that Mike Pence calls his own wife mother

MIKE PENCE COULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT AND HE WAS HANDPICKED BY PAUL MANAFORT

I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of those mysterioso sealed indictments had VP Pence's name on it - he lies and he is an evangelical, waiting for and working towards the 'rapture' with pompeo. If manafort wanted him in the number 2 position, there's gotta be a corrupt reason why somewhere. Just because Mueller didn't mention pence in the Mueller Report doesn't mean pence has been forgotten.

(20,190 posts)Sucessful impeachment or Trump resigning gives us Pence, who would then get the support of centrist to right independents in 2020. All things considered, I think Trump is more beatable.

(13,485 posts)that he was a relatively benign concervative with no connection to Trump or his crooks. This would make him distant from anything Trump could get caught in. I have no doubt tRumps people all knew that there was a balancing game from the start where tRump would either succeed or get caught. They would want an untouched escape mechanism to fall back on either to get them out of jail or to continue the conservative battle plan. I think Pence was no mistake and he's dangerous to our cause.
