CNN: Will Pence be Trump's scapegoat?

[ffr]

If Vice President Mike Pence is known for anything, it is loyalty to the President and operating serenely in the shadows. Now it seems that loyal service to the errant Donald Trump is forcing him into the harsh light of the Congressional probe into the President's alleged attempt at political extortion of Ukraine.

Confirmation of Pence's role came Tuesday in sworn testimony provided by Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the European Union, to the House Committee on Intelligence.

Sondland now says "President Zelensky had raised the issue of the suspension of US aid to Ukraine directly with Vice President Pence."

...now, Trump could make a dramatic, diversionary move in an attempt to save himself, framing Pence as a liability. Sometime soon Trump could step into his reality TV role and declare, to Pence, "You're fired." He could then welcome a new vice president -- Nikki Haley, anyone? -- who could help him in the fight for re-election. - CNN

As the heat is turned up on Pence's roll in bribery and extortion, the top NSC official at his September 1, 2019 meeting with Zelensky resigned effective today, not coincidentally DURING Pence's aide's (Jennifer Williams) testimony before the impeachment inquiry yesterday.

The GOP is like a pill dissolving in water. No defense and nothing left but shouting for what amounts to their treasonous actions.
