Democrats Catch Mike Pence In Major Lie About Mike Flynn
Vice President Mike Pence keeps saying that he had no idea that Michael Flynn was a paid foreign agent for Turkey when he led the Trump transition. But Mike Pence’s story just isn’t adding up.
Mike Flynn, of course, is at the center of the quickly growing Trump-Russia scandal.
And in recent days it’s been revealed that Flynn warned the Trump transition. And who was head of the transition? Mike Pence, of course.
We have noted before that Flynn’s work Turkey was widely reported in public, again contradicting Pence’s credibility on the notion that he had no idea.
However probably the most damning piece of evidence that Mike Pence’s story just isn’t adding up is the letter that was sent to him by Democrat Elijah Cummings notifying him of the Flynn issue and asking him a series of questions about it.

The letter was sent to Pence in his capacity as the head of the transition because it became clear through public reporting the Flynn had been doing paid work for Turkey.
@RepCummings #VP now sticking to his claim, and his aide says of @RepCummings letter, “I’m not sure we saw the letter.” https://t.co/fp5p5OiUUz

But Mike Pence just keeps saying that he had no idea and that he never say Congressman Cummings’s letter. Well here’s the thing Democrats have an official receipt where Pence promises to review the letter “carefully.”
