>I refer you to post 92. Pence, who was the one actually present and interacting with Flynn, fully believes he was lied to. His POV is far superior to yours and mine, because we’re only getting secondhand, incomplete accounts of what was said, and how it was said, in that interview.
>‘Pence was angry with Flynn for having misled him, and Flynn’s explanation of a bad memory was not convincing to administration officials. Their concerns were not over Flynn’s close ties with the Putin regime—it was the belief that Flynn had lied to Pence and other officials about the calls and was, at least initially, unrepentant about it.’
Wow that article just dropped my opinion of Pence like a rock. He either didn’t understand the political ramifications of doing the media’s bidding in dumping Flynn, didn’t care because he was upset, or intentionally did it to increase his own power. All displays of short term thinking on his part. Dumping Flynn was the first step towards impeaching Trump and Pence should be smart enough to know it. He should have put his ego aside for the good of the country and given Flynn the benefit the doubt.
We’ll have to agree to disagree. I hold Pence is far higher esteem than you do. If you can denigrate him to that degree, we have no common ground.
