I remember when Obama was under investigation and Biden lawyered up. That was "very routine" too.

Hopefully no one needs the smiley for my thread title. But if you do, there it is.



Pence calls hiring of outside counsel for Russia probe 'very routine'

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/vice-president-mike-pence-hires-counsel-russia-probe/story?id=48070642

Asked by the media Friday about the news of his hiring of his own counsel for matters related to the investigation, Pence replied: "It's very routine. Very routine."

Pence has retained the services of attorney Richard Cullen to represent him in legal matters related to the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

A spokesman for Pence confirmed Cullen's hiring in an emailed statement, adding that the lawyer will assist Pence "in responding to inquiries by the special counsel."

"The vice president is focused entirely on his duties and promoting the president’s agenda and looks forward to a swift conclusion of this matter," concluded the statement by Pence spokesman Jarrod Agen.
