Pence's new lawyer is a close friend of James Comey. Looks like is Pence tired of commuting to the White House from VP residence.


Washington Post? @washingtonpost
Pence’s lawyer is the godfather of Comey’s daughter. That’s "the swamp" for you. https://t.co/Y1FPFDdeMg

1. You'd have to think Trump won't be happy to hear this.

2. Seems to me that represents a conflict of interest for the attorney. Wouldn't most attorney's

recuse themselves because of that?

3. Couldn't there be the potential...

For conflict of interest in this case?

If nothing else I can see how the base could go after Pence saying that Comey is trying to help his friend become president instead of Trump.

5. Isn't it a beautiful thing?

8. Considering how paranoid Trump already is

Yeah this could get 'interesting' and ugly really fast.

4. Could we be witnessing the first steps of a future Pence presidency?

God, what a scary thought!

6. Someone needs to make sure that Trump knows this

The Tweets would be beautiful to behold.

7. But, but Trump says Mueller is close to Comey, making Mueller "Very bad and conflicted"

Gee, how could Pence possibly trust someone who is close to Mueller? Doesn't he read Trump's tweet warnings?
