In reply to the discussion: Any thoughts on if PENCE KNEW? [View all]ChoppinBroccoli
(3,781 posts)50. There's No Way He COULDN'T Have Known
When Trump wanted to pick somebody else as his running mate, it was Manafort who told him to pick Pence, a guy he'd never met before. Pence was the head of the transition team. He signed off on EVERYTHING Flynn and Manafort did. If Pence didn't specifically authorize all their Russian contacts, then he certainly knew about them. And if he claims to not know what they were doing, he has to be the dumbest, most incompetent leader of all time. Either way, he was either in on it or he's so dumb and incompetent that he's unfit to run the Slurpee machine at 7-11, let alone the country.
