VP Mike Pence checks in with the boss: a pause to refresh

Source: TheHill via GreenMountainDaily

In the face of multiple official investigations into Trump campaign’s possible Russian contacts heating up and a key vote due in the Senate to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) and trash Medicaid funding, Vice President Mike Pence Pence somehow found time to sneak off and have a private chat with Charles Koch.the koch machine

According to The Hill.com the first instinct of the Veep’s office was to deny the meeting took place. But it turns out while at a conservative Christian celebration in Colorado, Pence had an unannounced meeting with Charles Koch and representatives from the Koch brothers’ political finance and policy arm, Americans for Prosperity.

Pence, in town to headline a banquet celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Christian conservative group Focus on the Family, sat down with the chairman and chief executive of Koch Industries, along with key members of the Koch team.

The meeting was not on the vice president’s schedule released by the White House late Thursday.

A spokesman for the vice president’s office denied to The Hill earlier Friday that Pence would be meeting with the Koch brothers’ network. The spokesman did not respond to requests for comments late Friday.

I have to believe the Russrkies have the goods on McConnell but it's really hard imagining it being like Drumpf's golden flows. Also I'm sure there is some undeclared income passing around - that's probably why the repuglicans have worked to hard to eviscerate the IRS.

Pence was always the chosen boy...he could have never ascended so high had he not been hand chosen by Manafort to shore up Trumps "evangelical" credential. I think this was the plan all along.
