After Sally Yates delivered the information to Donald Trump about Flynn's conversations with the Russians and the possibility of him being black-mailed, why did he wait 17 days to fire Flynn? And during that time, he never discussed it with Mike Pence? Is that believable?
Pence went on national TV to assure people that Flynn had never discussed "sanctions" with the Russians. He lied for Michael Flynn. Reince Priebus did likewise.
Are we to believe that Mike Pence knew nothing about the warning from Sally Yates? Only after it became public did anyone take action to get rid of Flynn. Reportedly, he was fired for lying to the VP?
Does Mike Pence have clean hands in this scandal?

He is in like Flynn. (haha)
And I hope Flynn has Pence's cat in the bag. Time for the kitty to come out and play!

(10,023 posts)He knew he needed a new job, even if temporary. He knew Trump had been turned down by others. He knew Trump was at least as clueless as himself so he could appear as the smarter one. He knew Manafort. He knew Manafort had connections to Trump.
Did he know about the Russian connection from the beginning? Maybe. Did he know about the Russian connection in time to blow the whistle and stop it? He had to. He said something odd when reintroducing himself like- I am a Christian first, conservative/Republican second....I think he was convincing himself the ends justified the means in the eyes of (his) God.
