Mike Pence is all-knowing about the White House when he needs to be — and also completely out of the loop when it suits him.

In an interview with NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell, for example, he tried to play it both ways in the span of 60 seconds.

Asked about the most recent bombshell in a series of scandals about Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen — that he sold multiple corporations access to the Trump administration for millions of dollars — Pence was dismissive and ignorant.

“That private matter is something I don’t have any knowledge about,” Pence said.

The very serious allegations are certainly not a private matter; they implicate the Trump administration directly. Both AT&T and pharma giant Novartis have confirmed payments to Cohen in exchange for access, and Novartis admitted its CEO had dinner with Trump after making its final payment to Cohen.............................

1. SHUT UP PENCE....Go back to your NO TALKING FOR A YEAR..

[Wellstone ruled]

2. So Pence says,if you want access,

it is going to cost. Double think.

3. I guess they have let him out of his office so he can prepare to be President

when Trump is out of office. Lord help us all if that happens.

4. He reminds me of Stone in that photo...

draw glasses on his face and add a natty shirt and tie. If his head were pointy he could double for Stone. He is just as big a liar and complicit if not directly involved in collusion as Stone.

5. First Rule Of Getting Out of Hole, Mikey

Quit digging. On second thought, here's a bigger shovel.

6. I should think so, Pence.

I mean who wants the whole world to know how the tRump administration does business? Gotta keep SOME things private, huh? Another lying sack of sh*t. DC is overrun with ‘em. Can we call Orkin to run out the vermin?

7. If Trump had dinner with the CEO of Novartis after last payment was made...?

Then he cannot argue that he knew nothing about it? Did Cohen set up the meeting with Trump? Or did Trump invite him on his own?

There are still a lot of questions.

8. He knows better.

I think Mike needs a ride on the seat of heat. He has been hiding from his part in the conspiracy for about 6 months too long.

9. Sounds totally believable... if you're a two year old! nt

10. Dense is equally as odious as his boss

If not more so. Miserable liar with an extra dose of religious insanity.
