NYT: Trump knew about Russian interference two weeks before inauguration and still denied it

This article shows intent, unless Trump can argue memory defect or just sheer incompetence, which can be strong defenses for him, if he can push down his ego enough to strengthen them, which he can’t.

I love how his character defects could quite possibly take him down. It’s like a first-year undergrad in creative writing class tasked with penning a modern, supremely pathetic Shakespearean tragedy.

Btw folks, Pence would have very likely seen the same briefing. He is complicit in all of this.

Pence was brought into the Trump campaign by his good buddy Paul Manafort. I don’t expect him to get out of this without a few dents.

actually very good point. you almost forget about Pence being a thing

mobiusptc · 2018-07-19T19:22:54.421Z

right because Pence was going to get smashed in his governor race

Anybody see the list of 500 pieces of evidence that Mueller team released to be used in Manafort’s trial?

Absolutely. And has stood by silent, allowing this traitor to our nation to continue to work to divide our country and do untold level of damage. He is equally as guilty in my eyes.

Pence is the reason why talk of impeaching Donald makes me twitchy. I don’t want that man anywhere near the Oval Office chair either. Donald’s an idiot, but he’s an obvious one. Pence might be viewed as a return to sanity by some after all this, and that’s terrible. Hopefully they will both be gone in 2020.

I honestly would not be surprised if Pence is the one who leaks from the White House from time to time.

You always have to watch out for the quiet ones…

Remember, another great Republican, Spiro Agnew, had to resign in office as well as Tricky Dick. We can only hope.

True. Hopefully the taint of having served as Donald’s VP will similarly hamstring Pence’s future political ambitions.

Agnew was pretty much tainted because he was such a jerk. He was kind of like Trump with a mouth that wouldn’t stop saying stupid things. Pence is smart enough to be keeping his mouth shut. Still, if the country full out rejects the Trump legacy, he’ll be gone on a dime.

I think that anyone’s dreaming if they believe that Pence will survive if the fat man goes down.

I’m sure the Trump lovers in the right-wing media do. But I think it’s likely Pence’s activities will get uncovered by the mainstream press eventually. And then I think we’ll find stuff that he’s been hiding.
