In reply to the discussion: How Mike Pence is connected to Russia. [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)47. Our dear Rep. Cummnigs set a lovely trap for Pence a year ago.
Pence was head of the Transition team, so was the one who hired Flynn.
Cummings sent Pence a letter, warning that Flynn had been up to very questionable things.
Pence ignored the letter, as Cummings figured he would, and hired Flynn.
The top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, (Elijah Cummings) told then Vice President-elect Mike Pence in a November letter that the man Donald Trump had tapped to be his national security adviser was lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
Lt. Gen. Flynns involvement in advising Mr. Trump on matters relating to Turkey or Russia including attending classified briefings on those matters could violate the Trump for America, Inc. Code of Ethical Conduct, Cummings wrote.

It would be automatic, as Speaker of the House she'd be right after womenhater Pence.
