Mike Pence also has a Russia problemOne of the most overlooked aspects of the Russia scandal is the central role that Vice President Pence played in the campaign and transition. MSNBCs 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 Manaforts flip and cooperation is for Trump, but dont ignore that each flip is bad for Mike Pence. The vice president isnt going to escape this scandal unscathed. If Trump goes down, Mike Pence is going with him.

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?
