The plot thickens, boys. Let's see how our resident Trumpers try to handwave this.

Questionable site, makes big leaps in logic without evidence to back it up.

Yeah, skeptical.

Its a copy of palmerreport.com so, take that for what you will.

The basic premise of it isn't exactly earth shattering. Pence was the VP candidate and head of the transition team, so of course he's being scrutinized. This blog just takes it to the extreme.

Ah, then definitely skeptical. Basic premise isn't the issue, it's reasonable that suspicion would fall on Pence as a result of this entire investigation and that his involvement in the campaign/transition team/administration will be looked into. But the article contained precisely zero information to back up him being seriously looked into obstruction - at least for now.

Well, it's a blog that, along with Mensch, likes to make claims and lambaste the media for being "slow and behind" on every story, and crow about themselves. The worst part is that they freely admit that journalists have different, and higher standards then their twitter/blog based "journalism", but still try and dog the media.

It's weird.

Losing T+P would be hilarious. Hello Mr. President Ryan.

Good site or not, from what we've heard that sounds like a real stretch. Pence didn't fire anyone, and I've seen nothing suggesting he or his staff have been questioned or search/seized.

[fengosa]

Here's a relevant article about Pence claiming he didn't know Flynn was under investigation which is something he was briefed on. There's an argument that by making misleading statements to the US public he was trying to sway public opinion on the investigation which could be perceived as obstruction. I don't know if its a stretch but I wouldnt call it a slam dunk either.

Valid info, but as we all know, it is not a crime to lie to the American people.

I don't trust this website.

The best way to look at people like Lousie Mensch, the Palmer Report and TrueFactsStated (and Patriobiotics) is "the way things may be". Maybe that shit is happening. Probably not. But perhaps there are kernels of truth. But don't get your hopes up.

Then wait for the Times and Washington Post.

By the way for people who have been PMing me, RoguePotusStaff is a total fraud account.

[Sunseeker]

That doesn't really seem like what the article is saying.

[Paranoid Android]

Meh. Let's be like every Trumpkin and run with the story. I mean they will cry fake news anyways.

Tough to implicate Pence, but he contradict himself when asked about Russian contact. I'm sure Trump kept him the dark.

Getting rid of the Orange Turd and the homophobe Jesus freak also. Love it!

Here's today's news on Mueller:

Mueller Is Said to Seek Interviews With West Wing in Russia Case

WASHINGTON — In a sign that the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election will remain a continuing distraction for the White House, the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is in talks with the West Wing about interviewing current and former senior administration officials, including the recently ousted White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, according to three people briefed on the discussions.

Mr. Mueller has asked the White House about specific meetings, who attended them and whether there are any notes, transcripts or documents about them, two of the people said. Among the matters Mr. Mueller wants to ask the officials about is President Trump’s decision in May to fire the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, the two people said.

That line of questioning will be important as Mr. Mueller continues to investigate whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice in the dismissal of Mr. Comey.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/12/u...a-priebus.html

So it's advancing, and he's homing in on the Comey firing, but Pence? Seems like speculation.

Let's just play fantasy world for just a second...

If Pence is implicated and resigns but somehow Trump escapes it -- what happens? I'm a bit fuzzy on my constitution when it comes to VP replacements when the President is still in power.

IIRC the next in line of Presidential succession is Speaker of the House, ie Paul Ryan.

Or, if the Democrats take back the house in 2018, Nancy Pelosi.

In the .00000000000001% that actually happens can you imagine the hardcore Trump supporters calling this basically a coup

It seems extremely unlikely but man would that be the funniest thing that's ever happened in politics.

A President couping himself.

That'd be like, Theresa May on steroids.

Democrats will take back the house in 2018 but there's no way in hell the Senate will vote to impeach them both of Democrats control the house so yeahm
