Special Counsel Robert Mueller is closing in on Trump from so many angles its hard to keep track.Its only a matter of time before Trump is removed from office. The only question is whether or not Mike Pence will go down with him and from the looks of it, he will.
Michael Flynn was the beginning of the end for the current administration. The New York Times is reporting that Robert Mueller is now asking for the White House to turn over documents pertaining to Flynns employment as a foreign agent and with the Trump campaign. Mueller is supposedly investigating whether Flynn was getting kickbacks from his time on the Trump campaign, which would be classified as fraud.
Why is this significant for Mike Pence?
Flynn has already admitted to the Trump team that he was a paid foreign agent, but he was still hired for the National Security Adviser position. Mike Pence knew Michael Flynn was a criminal, but claimed his innocence anyways.
Muellers investigation into these kickbacks brings up the question, did Pence know about those too? If Pence knew about these crimes then he committed obstruction of justice.
Co-founder of the Democratic Coalition, Scott Dworkin was on MSNBCs Morning Joy recently and shared his thoughts on Mike Pence taking the fall for hiring ex-General Michael Flynn .............

John Kerry has the same kind of face. It says,"Trustworthy. Ethical. Determined."

That's a big leap, from Tump's inner circle knowing about Flynn to Pence knowing.

I didn't read it all. I'm tired. But I don't see anything of substance there.
