Vice President Mike Pence distanced himself on Thursday from revelations of Trump fixer Michael Cohen’s millions of dollars in contracts with various entities, including the American affiliate of a Russian company and large corporations like AT&T and Novartis. Pence called Cohen’s situation a “private matter.”
“You now have the President’s lawyer getting millions of dollars from companies that he says he can get access, including one company that had a Russian connection,” NBC’s Andrea Mitchell asked Pence during an interview that aired Thursday. “Is that draining the swamp?”
“Well, what I can say is that that private matter is something I don’t have any knowledge about, and I think the White House issued a statement saying the same,” Pence replied.
Earlier in the interview, Pence said of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe: “It’s time to wrap it up.”
Sure, Mike. It’s a private matter, it’s just kind of out there somewhere, vague, hazy, like the Van Allen belt, who even knows what it is, it hardly matters to anyone but a few specialists. You have to hand it to Mike, he can tell an outrageous howler with that look of bland bonhomie on his face as well as anyone I’ve seen. I’ll bet he’s the kind of liar who can beat a polygraph.
I wonder why the VPOTUS is so concerned about the business dealings of some random real estate guy?
I wonder why he would care enough to even comment.
I wonder.
Liar. Traitor. That’s all I have to say to that sub-human Mike Pence.
Utterly shameless with no attempt to hide.
Last week Franklin Graham said pretty much the same thing about Trump banging a porn star and paying her hush money before the election - a “private matter”.
There’s so much haze in Mike Pence’s head even San Francisco residents would be afraid to drive in it.
