I knew Pence was dirty but the depth of it is rather stunning.
To think of what we were up against in 2016.
We really were blindsided & never stood a chance.
Pence will not walk away from Mueller's wide net.

(28,458 posts)hazard a guess that alot of the upper level ones might be in with them neck deep because what they wanted more than anything was more power and I suspect some of them might have been willing to cut a deal with the Russians to get it.

(6,288 posts)Pence has stayed out of the spotlight, laid low but his time is coming. His corrupt purpose in this mess is being revealed also.
None of that rot at the top was ever clean

(55,097 posts)just about broke not long ago. Manafort was also broke and suggested Pence for VP. How do all of these supposedly broke millionaires getting big bucks from Russia remain broke? It does not add up. Am I being dumber than dirt?
FakeNoose
(41,479 posts)He's laundering money for the Russians, and those lists of bank accounts don't belong to him. He's using that to buy properties in the US and invest in stocks, bonds, etc. That's how the laundering gets done. They're trading dirty Russian money for clean US dollars.
People think he's rich, but that belongs to Putin's buddies. Manafort might have some money but he'll be broke soon.
Well this news about Pence is something I didn't know, but it doesn't surprise me. Why else would he be interested in hanging out with these hoodlums if he wasn't one just like them? They're all going down, the sooner the better.

(55,097 posts)I wonder if during the Cold War how this would have been treated by the GOP and the media. Of course there wasn't Twitter and Facebook also basically doing the same thing...selling our country to an enemy.
FakeNoose
(41,479 posts)The Russians have figured out how to beat us at our own game. That's what's happening here.
And the Republican Party has helped them do it. They think that the Russians don't believe in communism any more, so they're our friends now. What a delusion! It's not all the Russians, it's just Putin and his extremely wealthy buddies. They're using the idiots in the GOP who are only too happy to oblige.
When Trump got elected people were saying well at least Pence is honest. He's an asshole but honest. Now we know he's just as dirty as the rest of them.

(2,550 posts)5 Facts About Mike Pence's Close Ties to the Koch Brothers Not Included in Jane Mayers New Yorker Article
This is a guest post by Scott Peterson from Checks and Balances Project.
If youve read Jane Mayers deep dive into the ties between the Koch Bros. and the Vice President, The Danger of President Pence, youll understand why its the high-water mark of reporting about their relationship.
Yet there are several facts that arent included in the New Yorker article. Here are five facts worth knowing in addition to her excellent work.
Fact #1: the No Climate Tax Pledge was a key tool for the Kochs to turn what had previously been a bipartisan issue into a weapon that ignores the science behind climate change and helps the bottom line of Koch Industries.
The No Climate Tax Pledge was issued by Americans for Prosperity, which is itself controlled by the Kochs and funded by them and their network of donor allies. The pledge claimed that it would draw a line in the sand to guard against unrestrained growth in government at taxpayers expense hidden under the guise of environmental correctness. Yet a climate tax that would tax fossil fuel carbon pollution has bipartisan support even by Exxon as the most efficient way to solve the problem of a rapidly heating planet.
Fact #2: David Kochs Largest Personal Campaign Contributions Go to Mike Pence
Since signing the Pledge, David Koch has demonstrated his appreciation by giving more money to Mike Pence than any other candidate. This includes $200,000 to Mr. Pence when he ran for governor of Indiana (along with his running mate for Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann) in 2012, $100,000 to Pence individually in 2016 (before he withdrew to run for Vice President), and nearly $10,000 in political contributions from Koch Industries for his gubernatorial runs since 2011. These amounts do not include funding hidden through other sources, such as the Republican Gubernatorial Campaign Committee.
