By ALLEGRA KIRKLAND and ALICE OLLSTEIN Published MAY 22, 2017 6:00 AM
As wave after wave of scandal has broken over the Trump administration, one man has stayed suspiciously dryVice President Mike Pence.
Pence and his allies have repeatedly asserted that was not in the loop, not informed, not present, or otherwise not implicated in the various controversieseverything from former national security adviser Mike Flynns unauthorized lobbying for Turkey and conversations with Russian officials to the decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
An anonymous source close to the administration complained to NBC on Friday about a pattern vis a vis Pence, that he was never, either intentionally or unintentionally, made aware of the facts.
It has to be intentional, the source said of Pences repeated exclusion. But the narrative that Pences hands are clean strains credulity. In some cases, it is contradicted outright by reports and documents establishing that the Vice President was in fact involved in the key moments that have defined the first four months of the Trump administration.

And they want to pretend that trumpty is an aberation and pense will make everything "normal" again. That's the repub plan, and probably more than a few dems as well. They will all breath a collective sigh of relief when trumpty's gone and they can pretend that all is back-to-normal.
It's easier than contemplating the deeper rot.
