Anybody getting a little suspicious of Pences' insistence that he was lied to and out of the loop

19. HE KNEW. He was in charge of transition team.

I will always have a hard time believing that he didn't know outright starting in August of 2016, or at the least didn't have heavy suspicions beginning in late October.

Clearly, the Republicans baked up his innocence and how he was duped by Flynn, and they have been planting those "17 days" type of talking points so that they can manage to salvage something out of all this once their tower of cards comes crashing down.

But regardless of the past -- he has to know NOW AT THIS MOMENT.

Everyone is saying that the media needs to investigate, that the FBI needs to investigate, that Chaffetz and other Chairs need to investigate.

But Pence is sitting RIGHT THERE in the Number Two Spot in the world -- with more resources at his disposal than any single other person and HE IS THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE. He should be asking a ton of questions and tracking down evidence.

His ongoing ignoring of the Russia problem shows complicity and that makes him part of the cover-up.

Covering up the crimes of the President is still a high crime.

He is the equivalent of a trained, armed, ready guard just watching the figurative rape of our democracy in front of his eyes, and he is pretending that everything is rosy.

HE IS COMPLICIT.
