Earlier this month Pence flew to Poland and on 9/1 he met in Warsaw with the Ukrainian President

Earlier this month Pence flew to Poland to fill in for President Trump in meetings with European leaders on the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II. On September 1st, he met in Warsaw with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

I want to run out and get. Tom LoBianco - "Piety and Power.". Sounds fascinating. Especially the "donation" of $750k to the Vice President's residence. Supposedly deemed for restoration...yet Karen Pence was witnessed complaining that they needed money for "living expenses."

They've got the goods on Trump. I wonder what they want from Trump to keep silent. There are definitely tapes.
