Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday night would not say whether he believes special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is conducting a fair investigation of President Donald Trump and his campaign’s potential collusion with Russia.
During an interview on Fox News, host Laura Ingraham asked Pence twice whether he thinks the Mueller team is impartial, and the vice president avoided answering both times.
Ingraham told Pence that it appears that there are “loyalists” to former President Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton on Mueller’s probe, likely a reference to newly revealed text messages from an FBI agent who used to work on Mueller’s team criticizing Trump.
“Knowing what you know and probably what you’ve seen about some of these investigators who are still working in this office, do you have faith that this will be a fair and impartial investigation going forward?” she asked Pence.
“Well let me say, we’re fully cooperating with the special counsel, and we’ll continue to. But I have to tell you, it’s just not been a focus of mine or of this president,” Pence replied before telling Ingraham that the administration is focused on tax cuts and improving the American economy. “So we’ll let the special counsel do their job and continue to cooperate.”
Ingraham pressed further, telling Pence that some Republicans believe that the Mueller team is operating “in an unfair manner.”
“I can just tell you and your viewers that we’re just going to continue to cooperate,” Pence responded before again touting Trump’s focus on boosting the military and the economy.
Pence also told Ingraham that he has not been interviewed by Mueller’s team.
Watch part of the interview via Fox News. Ingraham brings up the Mueller probe near the 4 minute mark.
Ha. THAT’S whose ass he should be kissing in public—not Trump’s.
You either believe in and support the rule of law or you don’t.
This is the whole game, folks – the constant lies, the nosing up of the corporate state to please the fuhrer, the isolating and demeaning of “others” as enemies, the worship of military and flag, the culmination of hatred as a national religion.
The water isn’t just hot. It’s boiling.
I hope Mikey got a pass from Mother for his tete a tete with the foxy Ms. Ingraham. Was she, perhaps, just off camera with a rope around his…er…neck, in case of temptation?
ETA: I think yesterday’s little ode to His Orangeness shows where his “faith” lies.
Ha…he better respond in just this way or risk being strapped to a chair and dealt with by the Don’s henchmen…
Did you see that shit?
I am so glad it is all on tape because when he goes down all the cockholsters who were singing his praises will have some splanin’ to do.
It was so reminiscent of North Korea that all that was missing was some goosestepping sycophants chiming " Most exalted and Glorious leader who exceeds all with his benevolence and intelligence , you are god’s gift to this country"
