6. Yep. And the tortured pretzel of a statement from the source shows the absurd line they are walking

"The source close to the administration, who requested anonymity as the White House denies the story, is now saying that Pence and his team were not made aware of any investigation relating to Flynn's work as a foreign agent for Turkey.

"It's also a fact that if he told McGahn that during the transition, it's also a fact that not only was Pence not made aware of that, no one around Pence was as well," the source said. "And that's an egregious error — and it has to be intentional. It's either malpractice or intentional, and either are unacceptable."


Well I agree that it's unacceptable, but the spin in here! To believe the source, you have to believe or she DOESNT know whether Flynn told McGahn ("if&quot , but DOES know that Pence was not made aware of it and neither was anyone around Pence.

it's a lot harder to prove a negative than to prove a positive, by the way.
