Vice President Pence Faces Heightened Scrunity

[TexasTowelie]

Pence has remained largely in the background of the Trump presidency, often working behind the scenes on policy and other issues while Trump takes center stage. As Trump's fortunes have waned, however, those in his orbit are being reexamined.

Amongst the bad news for Trump last week was the indictment of Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. Manafort was found guilty last week on eight counts of financial crimes in his fraud trial.

It was Paul Manafort who chose Mike Pence as Donald Trump's vice president, with the president reportedly preferring Chris Christie for the role.

1. Unless Pence is blind and deaf, there's no way he didn't know about the Russia involvement.

2. I would believe that assuming that

The Trump Presidency can be proven to be tainted (which I believe it is by election interference) then Pence is just as tainted and illegitimate. He should no more be in office than should Trump and certainly should not assume the Presidency should that Office become vacant.

How this would be accomplished is still a question.
