I can see why Mike Pence wants the investigation to wrap up — because if he hasn’t been questioned by the Mueller team yet, that makes him a likely target. And that would make Mother very angry! (You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.)
Whatever. All of a sudden, media types have removed the Teflon curtain and noticed that Mike Pence is a much bigger player than they thought — even though lowly bloggers have been pointing this out for three years.
NEWS: @VP Mike Pence tells NBC's @MitchellReports of the Mueller investigation: "In the interest of the country, I think it's time to wrap it up, and I would very respectfully encourage the special counsel and his team to bring their work to completion."

On October 28, 2016, Mike Pence tweeted: “.@realDonaldTrump and I commend the FBI for reopening an investigation into Clinton's personal email server because no one is above the law.” https://t.co/CzprEZCBBB

VP Pence has now brought his sycophancy to a whole new level. With questions concerning which senior transition officials were aware of Flynn’s secret talks w/ Russian Ambassador still unanswered and new revelations every day, investigation must continue without his interference. https://t.co/gXFdZVc15h

George Will goes for the kill:
"The oleaginous Mike Pence, w/ his talent for toadyism & appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public." And to vote for the "lickspittle" GOP is to "ratify groveling as governing." https://t.co/gIWTEsuYPk— Steven Beschloss (@StevenBeschloss) May 10, 2018
Will Mike Pence be impeached or resign amid the Russia probe involving Trump? https://t.co/tPFyURLr9c

3/ The Cohen/Russian money also threatens Pence criminally. Vekselberg started paying in Jan 2017. My @Slate article offers timeline of Steele Dossier, Flynn and Kushner’s backchannel to Kremlin (Dec’16). Pence seems to have been part of cover-up. https://t.co/rUh4tkT9WK

“It’s in the interest of the country” for Mike Pence to go to hell and take all of his hypocritical Evangelical Christian, racist friends with him.
Billionaire plutocrat and warmongering Zionist Sheldon Adelson, recently gave Republican House incumbents running for re-election $30 million dollars. Adelson is one of Pence’s closest friends.
How much have the Fascist Mercer’s, Koch’s and Sinclair/Smith’s given to GOP incumbents in the current cycle?
Democratic Senator from Indiana, Joe Donnelly, has voted ‘with’ Trump 62% of the time. (Manchin’s
percentage is much higher.)
Has Adelson donated to Donnelly’s current reelection campaign?
Membership in the Democratic Party’s apparatchik certainly is flexible.
