Regarding your point 1, as mentioned in my subject line, I don't discount that possiblity. On point 2, I just find that impossible to buy. The most

generous read I can give it is that they just didn't really view it as a big deal (notwithstanding their adamant protestations now that it was a violation of trust). I don't think lying really registers on Trump's radar because he does it all the time. It's just a form of communication. And I think it speaks more to the idea that Pence was somewhat on the outs. My guess is he was protesting and pushing for resignation along the way, but was being ignored until the news went public. At that point he had the leverage. Does it raise him in the eyes of the president in the sense that they see now that he was right and should be trusted? Who knows.

Or will he resent Pence for those same reasons. -- nm - Diva Feb 14, 14:40 3
- I don't think their Russian friends want Pence involved. CNN was reporting that the Russians were up in arms about Flynn's resignation. No official - pmb Feb 14, 14:48
- Everyone is expendable. If anyone becomes the subject of negative talk, they'll be gone. - TWuG Feb 14, 14:46 1
  - The entire administration is the subject of negative talk. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 14, 17:50
