Pence suggests there is legal basis for investigating identity of anonymous op-ed writer

Vice President Pence on Sunday suggested there may be a legal basis for investigating the identity of the anonymous writer of a New York Times op-ed claiming to be part of the “resistance” against President Trump within the administration.

Pence said on “Fox News Sunday” that “we’ll find out if there was criminal activity involved.” His comments came after Trump last week said the Department of Justice should investigate the anonymous administration official’s identity.

“I think the president’s concern is that this individual may have responsibilities in the area of national security,” Pence said. “And if they’ve now published an anonymous editorial that says that they are misrepresenting themselves — that they are essentially living a lie within this administration and trying to frustrate and subvert the agenda the president was elected to advance, that’s an important issue.”

“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace pushed back against Pence, saying that the op-ed was “certainly troubling,” but that “it’s not illegal.”

Okay dipshit. What national security secrets were revealed. That Trump's unstable? We already knew that.

he also thinks PRESIDENT OBAMA should be "honorable" and not criticize IQ45 because he (PRESIDENT OBAMA) is now a "former" president and they don't do that kind of thing.

But, hey, it's OK to suggest that the "former" PRESIDENT OBAMA was not an American citizen, right?

What a 2-faced horse's ass he is!
