1. Looks like Mikey is trying to

create a Narrative to protect himself from Mueller.

3. Yes, interesting how this comes out now .... "distancing" from Trump's gang of felons.

No doubt, Mike Flynn has given Mueller everything he knows about the lie that Pence did not know about the lies.

4. Appears Mikey

has assurance from the Religious Right to go in this direction. Pence Family has issues and this is a attempt to deflect away from Mueller. Treason?

[Me.]

2. I Wonder If Trump Knows

Ps. Reince has always been a liar and Trump knows that

5. Well that should be it. The campaign and Pence say he never made the offer.

Let it go people. Nothing to see here. We never hear a lie from the Trump WH and cohorts.

6. Pence's coup....

to replace Bannon's/Russia's coup? Too many coups around here.

7. FYI, the origin of the word 'coup'.

From Wikipedia:

Counting coup was the winning of prestige against an enemy by the Plains Indians of North America. Warriors won prestige by acts of bravery in the face of the enemy, which could be recorded in various ways and retold as stories. Any blow struck against the enemy counted as a coup, but the most prestigious acts included touching an enemy warrior with the hand, bow, or coup stick and escaping unharmed.[1][2] Touching the first enemy to die in battle or touching the enemy's defensive works also counted as coup.[1] Counting coup could also involve stealing an enemy's weapons or horses tied up to his lodge in camp.[1] Risk of injury or death was required to count coup.[3]

Escaping unharmed while counting coup was considered a higher honor than being wounded in the attempt.[1] A warrior who won coup was permitted to wear an eagle feather in his hair.[1] If he had been wounded in the attempt, however, he was required to paint the feather red to indicate this.[1]

After a battle or exploit, the people of a tribe would gather together to recount their acts of bravery and "count coup." Coups were recorded by putting notches in a coup stick.[1] Indians of the Pacific Northwest would tie an eagle feather to their coup stick for each coup counted, but many tribes did not do so.[1] Among the Blackfoot tribe of the upper Missouri River Valley, coup could be recorded by the placement of "coup bars" on the sleeves and shoulders of special shirts that bore paintings of the warrior's exploits in battle. Many shirts of this sort have survived to the present, including some in European museums.[4]

I have a BIG STICK I'd love to "touch" Trump and Pence with.
