Pence just threw himself all in.

[Maru Kitteh]

Press conference now: "I was elected with the President in part to drain the swamp, and I think the American people deserve to know if the Vice President and his son profited from his position."

Called the phone call "appropriate."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He doesn't want to be kicked off the ticket.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. He just kicked himself right into the impeachment inquiry.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. That he did.

Nobody ever accused Mike Dense of being the smartest guy in the room.

[Maru Kitteh]

16. True! He has managed before this to play that to his advantage, pretending he was just

a babe in the woods. Pastor Pence.

He must have figured they will find out his guilt anyway, might as well throw the last of his chips on this steaming pile.

[H2O Man]

2. Recommended.

Good. Let's drain the White House and administration, to prepare for the Democrats taking over.

[NightWatcher]

4. Translation: jr, eric, and ivanka are guilty and have gotten way more than $50,000

[Thekaspervote]

5. Hey idiot.. it's already been determined there was no wrong doing on the part of any dem

Candidate, or family.

Just more shit stir to throw back up ... got anything else??

[lagomorph777]

6. Looks like he got stuck in the drain.

But Trump is still circling.

[lame54]

8. Yes Pence - we want to know if the Vice President profited from his position...

You are the Vice President

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. I believe that Pence's brother was a Cummins Diesel Sales Exec with sales in Russia/Ukraine?

Might be some exposure there.

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. "All in" really defines the moment.

Wonder what Putin has on Pence? How many more National Republicans will follow his lead?

[Maru Kitteh]

18. I think his feet were already stuck in the cement. He has only the hope of Trump's ability

to foment violence and outrage left to save him.

[Politicub]

11. They're all going all in. Including right-wing citizens.

It’s frightening how Trump has decided to double-down on asking a foreign power to intervene in the presidential election.

He knows he’s going down because he’s guilty. I don’t know what the excuse is for all of the other GOP elected officials, unless they think this is their moment for destroying the republic in favor of a right-wing dictatorship.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. "unless they think this is their moment for destroying the republic in favor of . . dictatorship"

This is what I've come to fear. A complete and total power grab.

[ScratchCat]

12. This alternate reality must be a hoot

You know, the one where the American people have no right to know what is in the CURRENT PRESIDENT'S tax returns, and where no entity has the right to investigate the CURRENT PRESIDENT, but its of upmost importance to investigate a former VP because he is running for President against the CURRENT PRESIDENT.

I mean, does anyone really fall for this nonsense?

Pence is already up to his arm pits in this, so this is the position they will take because its "impeachment insurance". The Senate will not remove both an allow Pelosi to be POTUS.

[Joe941]

13. If trump is impeached then so should pence. Here comes president Pelosi!

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Uh, we know the current president and his family are profiting from his position.

[imanamerican63]

21. You took the words right from my computer!

[Doreen]

15. President Pelosi seems to be on her way

more and more.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. The facts are in. Biden & Biden did NOT profit. Manafort & tRump did. . . . nt

[Talitha]

20. "appropriate"? Wow, Pence is definitely 40 books short of a Bible.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Lol!

[NCLefty]

23. What a great christian, eh? Lying for jesus, just like they taught ya...

Drain the swamp... if there's one Trump phrase I'd like to ban after this, it might be that one.
