Liar Liar

If Trump gets impeached we will be left with Pence as President. If you put the pieces together of his puzzle he is not so squeaky clean in terms of coming forward as to what he knows about the revolving door of people hired and fired so often in the White house. There have been questions about Flynn the first big shot to be fired by Trump and his disclosure that now he is considered to be a Foreign Agent because he is taking a pay check from another country now. Flynn’s lawyer said he informed the transition team of his new position.

Vice-President  Mike Pence was running the transition team when the new information about Flynn came in but then he says he didn’t know anything. That is plainly not true and it has been known that Pence was in fact told of Flynn’s new job.

Pence also told reporters that in no way Flynn had discussions with the Russians about sanctions during the transition. Not true.

Pence insisted that there were no contacts at all between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. Not true.

Pence insisted that FBI Director James Comey was fired because of an internal process at the Department of Justice. It had nothing to do with the White House’s needs or desires certainly nothing to do with Trump’s feelings about the Trump investigation. Which is what Pence told the American people. But we now know that President Trump gave Pence a letter outlining his rational for firing Comey. It  was  written the day before the Department of justice produced their reason for the firing of the FBI Director.

So, Pence’s Comey firing explanation was not only untrue but we can tell by the time line that he knew at the time he said yet another falsehood.

This week Mike Flynn’s son is now a subject of the Federal Russia Probe.  The investigation by Robert Mueller now wants to question the boy. The  national security adviser’s son has been found to spread the fake news about the Washington D.C. pizza shop on the internet.  The fake news story led to the bazaar incident where a man who claimed to be investigating rumors that Hillary was running a child sex ring from the back of the pizza place. He fired an assault rifle at the restaurant employees and threatened them. Pence says Flynn Jr. had no role in the transition team. False. Flynn was indeed part of the transition. We have now learned that Flynn’s son who at the time was the incoming national security advisor’s relation and who spread conspiracies on the internet has a government transition email and was spreading ridiculous stories from that email.

Mike Pence has a problem with the truth. We can’t trust or believe anything he says either. Pence has made bracingly untrue statements about the Russia investigation. Pence’s Chief of Staff has resigned and his Press Secretary has left too. No one wants to defend a known liar. Now Pence has hired a high powered private lawyer to defend him in the Russia Investigation. Pence has formed his own political action committee which is a move that no other vice president has ever had to do in history in the first year of his first term. Pinocchio needs a lawyer.

So the guy lies about a lot of stuff and then he wants to use campaign funds to pay for his personal attorney. If that doesn’t work out Trump’s new ethics guy is going to allow anonymous gifts from lobbyists to pay for their defense. This is such a shady dealing administration. It makes you feel sick. So they can use Russian money in their defense? Ugh!
