I don’t think Pence will ever be president. We know at the very least that he knew about Flynn. I suspect he is into this mess at least waist deep and that we just don’t have the details yet.
The rumor is Pence, Priebus, and Ryan all knew about Flynn and the Russian money coming into the campaign. I think Pence started trying to cover his ass way earlier by insisting that Flynn be fired for “lying” to him.
Yeah, I’ve seen some of the talk. While I wouldn’t say my level of confidence in that is high, I simply think there’s too much going on to believe he isn’t involved in some of it. Would love to know if the rumors about Hatch receiving daily security briefings are actually true.
I haven’t seen that one. If he was next in line after all 3 of them go down that would make sense.
He would be after Pence & Ryan, yes.
Cool tidbit from Matt Vella, the Executive Editor at Time - “It’s been a decade since TIME did not have a cover line.”
Trump just can’t quit Flynn:

President Trump allegedly sought to submit federal ethics forms that detail his wealth without signing them, which could shield him from trouble if they prove to be inaccurate.
Trump’s lawyer, Sheri Dillon, reportedly told the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) last year that he should not have to sign the financial disclosure report because he was submitting it voluntarily, according to letters obtained by The Associated Press. The signature verifies that the forms are accurate.
The head of the ethics agency, Walter Shaub, responded that he would not accept the forms without Trump’s signature, a standard part of the reporting process.
Plenty of stuff about Trump is shady, but a lawyer being as cautious as possible isn’t out of the ordinary. If you don’t have to submit something you don’t. If you don’t have to sign something you don’t. Just like the folks who say don’t ever talk to the cops for any reason. Just better to be safe than sorry.
Ok so for some reason I didn’t know this
Some (possibly tin-foily) follow up (sorry it’s a Salon link - which I don’t read any longer - but I follow the writer on Twitter and she’s decent.)
