Paul Manafort's Flip Is A Disaster For Mike Pence

Mike Pence also has a Russia problem
One of the most overlooked aspects of the Russia scandal is the central role that Vice President Pence played in the campaign and transition. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow has been hammering away that the Pence role in the Russia scandal for more than a year.

There Is A Manafort/Pence Connection
People like Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort know how involved Pence was in any potential activities with Russia. The nation is concentrating on how bad Manafort’s flip and cooperation is for Trump, but don’t ignore that each flip is bad for Mike Pence. The vice president isn’t going to escape this scandal unscathed. If Trump goes down, Mike Pence is going with him.

and I think we have to keep Pence propped in place until January, because if he goes down before that, Trump can name a replacement.

Just relying on my Spiro Agnew recall here......

And if he was involved with the OP ED written in any way it shows how corrupt he is trying to undermine trump for personal gains. Manifort could also expose his involvement and knowledge he had about involvement with putin and russia he's been hiding. Pence if he's shown to know by certain people, he'll turn against trump in a heartbeat on him too. Pence is another corrupt politician who'll be in deep , deep troubles soon. Was pence picked by putin as VP?

Recall, from that time reporting that Trump wanted Chris Christie, but Manafort kept Trump's plane in Indiana that lead to Trump deciding on Pence instead. The question has always been "why Pence?". Hopefully now we'll be able to find out.
