Pence found out that Flynn lied to him by reading it in the Washington Post.Huey » 17 Feb 2017 12:58 pm » wrote:I have no problem with Trump not saying anything, if in fact he didn't.
It looks like 45 would never have told him if not for the leaks.
You have no problem with 45 allowing his VP to sit with that false information and continue to make statements in public that were not true?Vice President Pence first learned that former national security adviser Michael Flynn had misled him about the nature of his contact with a Russian official on Feb. 9, a full two weeks after other White House officials were briefed on the matter, an aide to Pence said on Tuesday.
The timing indicates that Pence would have become aware of the controversy around the same time that a Washington Post report was published, detailing the degree to which Flynn had been in contact with the Russian ambassador to the United States on the issue of sanctions, Pence spokesman Marc Lotter said
“What I would tell you is that the vice president became aware of incomplete information that he had received on Feb. 9, last Thursday night, based on media accounts,” Lotter said.
“He did an inquiry based on those media accounts.”

I'm much more troubled by the fact that if not for the leaks we would not know what these clowns are up to.Huey » 17 Feb 2017 12:58 pm » wrote:I am much more troubled by the fact that transcripts were leaked by the intelligence community and the fact that Obama in his last weeks in office expanded the amount of allowable agencies that could receive the raw transcripts. Does any of that trouble you?
45 seems to be more than willing to lie to his own VP, Chief Of Staff and Press Secretary.
