Pence's Time in the Barrel Soon

Bandit Aléatoire‏ @BanditRandom 2m2 minutes ago
#MikePence was head of the #TransitionTeam when #GenFlynn was hired. Pence was notified Flynn was compromised and ignored warnings. Pence's time in the barrel soon. Flynn is entering 1 guilty plea so far and is registered as a foreign agent for Turkey

from Grant Stern:

___ Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) sent a civil demand letter today to Vice President Mike Pence because he served as the head of Trump’s Transition team when Gen. Flynn was hired. Pence will have to provide documents and answers about what he knew, and when he knew it when he and Donald Trump hired the disgraced former National Security Advisor.

The Senator asked for details about Flynn’s involvement in two gargantuan international nuclear deals, his secret discussions with his Turkish paymasters to create secret propaganda, to kidnap a political enemy of the country’s dictator all of which Special Counsel Mueller is investigating. Blumenthal wrote four letters total, including the following sentiment:

“I am deeply troubled by these reports and the possibility that Mr. Flynn was acting as a lobbyist on behalf of foreign nations within the Trump transition and Administration,” Blumenthal wrote to Pence. “It is imperative that we learn the full extent of Mr. Flynn’s hidden lobbying for special interests or foreign interests while on the transition team and in the White House, as well as any undisclosed work he did for the Russian or Turkish governments, so that we may know his legal liability.”

This is what he requested from General Flynn as part of a fusillade of four demand letters in one day by the former Connecticut Attorney General.

That's why he gave Flynn such a good deal.

I don't think so. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029908526
This is all part of ratcheting up the pressure. I don't think Trump and Pence will do very well under pressure.
