Pence lied...

This morning on Good Morning America. It turns out that Flynn did talk about lifting sanctions on Russia before the inauguration, even though Pence said definitively that he did not. They showed Pence making the false statement, and followed up with the contradictory statement.

They (GMA) were not impressed.

Credibility takes a hit, but it won't remove the bastards from their stolen positions.

And we have Pence to deal with, this is the scandal that ties Pence to the Russians.

This is the post Trump investigation that prevents them (the republicans in congress) from forwarding their agenda.

The issue will be how much push-back it will take from the public (and congressional Dems, who need to get a lot tougher, IMO) before the Rs are tied up in nothing but investigations and scandal. With total control, it'll take massive public outcry to get anything done on this, and that means that the media needs to do their part in keeping the story front and center.

Coupled with IvanKellyAnngate have shifted attention away from Trump's bold
agenda and onto how lousy a job they've been doing in the White House.

Trump will implode damaging the Republicans in 2018, The Pence administration will be dogged with the Russian hacking scandal.

took office, he has been fired up on social media. He's generally pretty quiet. There's hope that if he gets fired up, then the rest of the Democrats will do something!
