1. Did they hire Kushner

To get him some Executive immunity, do you think?

2. Maggie Haberman, now normalizing Pence

Haberman loves being contrarian -- and loves normalizing the criminal and ridiculous.

Oh, here's a good one on Haberman's flat-earth journalism: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/8/29/1564862/-Is-the-New-York-Times-Maggie-Haberman-really-this-stupid-or-just-pretending

Remember how she talked about Trump after his debate performance. Haberman (and NYT news) have a lot to answer for.

The NYT news analysis and investigative reporting continues to be top-notch.

3. The Pence story was never real.

It was all BS. Pence is in on the Russian collusion.

4. Disagree. They just didn't know about the evidence and thought they could get away with lying.

Once it became known there was a transcript, Flynn had to go and they claimed he lied to pence to save Pence's ass. They think there is no evidence Pence knew. Wait until that evidence is produced and they will say pence lied to Trump, .....

5. Then there will be evidence Trump knew, will say he lied to Bannon
