So down goes Pence right?

Reminder: Mike Pence was head of transition when the @nytimes says the Flynn notification happened.

Pence is fucked

Back in March:


https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...30713a-05cb-11e7-b9fa-ed727b644a0b_story.html

So damned good. Pence owned himself.

 

[Sephzilla]

No. At most: Pence, Ryan, Bannon, Trump.

I think anyone associated to Trumps transition team is likely compromised in some way.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Nothing on Bannon yet

Either way, he's not sticking around.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Well there goes the last bit of hope that it was Obama's fault. He warned you, Obama warned you, you still derped; great leadership.

 

[~Kinggi~]

The IC responding to the WH and GOP with a Shock and Awe campaign this week...

its the only thing that works. Put up a blitzkrieg, repubs have no choice but to react in some way that commits them to fixing this shit while they are bewildered and reactionary.

 

[Boke1879]

At the very least. Flynn should be in fucking prison.

 

[Toki767]

I honestly wonder why Flynn took the job, knowing that he was under investigation, and weighed in on a decision where he could be viewed as having a conflict of interest? He should be smart enough to know that all of this was going to blow up in his face.

He clearly believed Trump when he told him he didn't need to worry about it.

 

[commedieu]

Well there goes the last bit of hope that it was Obama's fault. He warned you, Obama warned you, you still derped; great leadership.

He knew he wouldn't listen to him because he's a bigot.

Nice move.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Sorry for being off topic, but as I watch MSNBC nightly and they constantly have people on from the NYT, WaPo, WSJ, etc. and Fox News constantly attacks the mainstream media, I wondered what journalistic establishments do they regularly have on? I know they've had on true right wing nut jobs and conspiracy theorists, but what is common for them?

 

[Jerm411]

The entire thing is burning down and I love it....Pence and Ryan are completely fucked after today, down with the SS Trump they go....

Russians, Turks, who's next that we here about they were working for?

On 3/9, Fox asked Pence about Flynn filing w/DOJ as a foreign agent re Turkey. Pence: "hearing that story today was the first I heard of it"

And we all believe him, right? Right.

 

[Evolved1]

Prison is for poor people and pot smokers. Not rich white gentlemen trying to #MAGA.

 

[7DollarHagane]

what the fuck was so great about mike flynn that they had to have him.

This makes about as much sense as hiring an alcoholic to help run your new liquor store.

 

[Mahonay]

God damn the floodgates are just opening up.

This all started with Trump firing Comey. Lol that dumb orange bitch.

He was probably a key link with Russia.

 

[gutter_trash]

Trump is unqlified, period

I'm not a dentist, I am not qualified

Trump should just quit

 

[Randolph Freelander]

whatwas so great about mike flynn that they had to have him.

The people at rallies loved him, which was important. But not as much as they loved Trump, which was also important.

 

[FStubbs]

I always thought Pence was tied to Russia.

I mean, it was Manafort who chose him as VP. I always assumed that it was under the direction of Putin.

 

[Foffy]

God damn the floodgates are just opening up.

Thank God they did this.

Imagine we might have not even learned of some of this stuff for years.

There's total confusion and panic in the WH tonight. Not just among Trump's staff but Pence's too. Real concern Pence will go down w/ Trump.

Sign a deal with the devil...

 

[Escape Goat]

I always thought Pence was tied to Russia.

Pence covered the evangelical vote. Trump was a pussy grabbing, thrice married, new yorker who likely never touched a Bible. So that didn't play with the god warriors.

 

[greycolumbus]

Imagine tomorrow.

 

[NullPointer]

So this puts Pence on the hook, again, and further demolishes the latest line that Trump saw no need to listen to Yates because she was considered on the other side, politically.

Its just a litany of lies holding Trump and company up.

 

[KernelPanic]

They thought Pence would be more likeable to GOP(and Bible thumpers) as well. Trump wanted Flynn as VP at first.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I believe it was his kids that ultimately pushed for Pence, wasn't it?

 

[Foffy]

Imagine tomorrow.

I actually cannot.

I literally cannot.

 

[Kusagari]

I believe it was his kids that ultimately pushed for Pence, wasn't it?

They and Manafort were all pushing for Pence while other advisors wanted Christie/Newt.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Sign a deal with the devil...

 

[.JayZii]

I hope everyone's read "The Devil and Tom Walker", class. This will be on the test.

Hold onto that bible, Pence.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

So as an outsider;

How long before this whole disgusting house of cards comes down?
Is it realistic to say it'll be done before the end of this month?

No. This stuff can take well over a year or more.

But the pace has picked up over the last few weeks.

 

[Fancyarcher]

The walls are closing in on Trump & his team. Amazing!

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

"Error of judgement" move on guys.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Is it realistic to say it'll be done before the end of this month?

Not at all. This thing is just getting started, and by that, I mean the actual action. Hearings would probably take a year. This isn't as simple as "Pence, Ryan, and Trump testify". There are hundreds of people involved, more evidence to collect, and it all needs to be done by the book.

 

[Sephzilla]

Honestly at the rate things are going I have no idea how slow or fast this whole thing will take. Dirt is piling up on Trump at a rate that probably dwarfs Nixon

 

[geestack]

so we're getting president paul ryan now huh

fuck

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

so we're getting president paul ryan now huh

fuck

What in the world makes you say that?

 

[LegalEagleMike]

What in the world makes you say that?

the line of succession makes him say that.

Its a sprawling case just from what we know from public reporting.

Who knows how deep the rabbit hole goes?

And the investigation has broad authority and scope. Not only the collusion and questionable contacts and money trails, but also obstruction and anything else found in that process.

 

[EdibleKnife]

the line of succession makes him say that.

Ryan no doubt is as stained as the other's in Trump's inner circle. He's not coming away from this scott free.

 

[Deku Tree]

So does this mean that they flipped Flynn?

 

[Brandon F]

Trump is unqlified, period

I'm not a dentist, I am not qualified

Trump should just quit

He had that chance before entering office. Now he has done some real damage and deserves the punishment that is coming.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Nothing on Bannon yet

Bannon being Bannon is all we need to have on him

Yep. The length of this depends on how deep it goes. I'm worried it goes really deep.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

We're going to Flynn so much we'll be tired of Flynning, folks

That took me a half hour.

 

[Deku Tree]

but what about the deep state fighting back against all the swamp draining?

 

[DietRob]

NYT/WaPo need to pace this shit out. What will they have left for tomorrow?

Trump declared war on the intelligence community. There will be new shit every day until his perp walk.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

the line of succession makes him say that.

You really think Ryan is gonna come out clean in all of this?

 

[super-famicom]

Hahahaha
