Will Vice President Mike Pence take the fall for hiring disgraced ex-General Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor?

“It’s really nonsense to think that Trump and Pence are not close with their NSA,” said Democratic Coalition co-founder Scott Dworkin on MSNBC’s Morning Joy (video below). “Pence is a hands on guy, he was leading the transition team himself.”

I think that Trump put him in a position where he can take the fall now.

On November 18th, 2016 the Democratic Coalition reported Flynn to the Department of Justice for failure to register his paid representation of Turkey as required under FARA.

That very same day, the House Oversight Committee’s ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) sent Pence a letter plainly stating that Flynn was hired by Turkey for political reasons — including to monitor the presidential transition.

The Democratic Coalition co-founder told MSNBC’s Morning Joy:

Mike Pence would have to be a straight up idiot to not realize that Flynn was going to register as a foreign agent, or the staff would have to be totally incompetent for him not to be aware of the situation.

Even though the Trump Transition was warned, they turned a blind eye when Gen. Flynn then lied on his application for Department of Defense security clearance.

Transition team Chair Mike Pence then appointed the unregistered Turkish agent to America’s most sensitive national security role anyhow.

If it wasn’t totally obvious that something had changed in Flynn, just recall that he was celebrating a Turkish coup attempt against autocratic leader Recep Erdogan in June, and then writing an op-ed advancing Turkey’s interests on election day in The Hill last November.

That was a major about face for Gen. Flynn, who made famous remarks that “fear of Muslims is rational” would seem otherwise to rule out supporting an Islamist leader in Turkey.

Mike Pence has flown under the radar during the Trump Administration’s failed first 100 days in Washington, D.C. and maintained a public profile as the least insane voice in the Republican regime.

But new reports about Gen. Michael Flynn’s foreign lobbying this week, revealed this week that there’s a major Russian tie with the cash he accepted.

The Siberia Energy Group’s owner has major ties to the Dutch company owned by a Turkish government official, who paid Flynn and caused him to register under FARA a month after being fired due to the media firestorm after his contacts with Russian Ambassador Kislyak were revealed.

Flynn also took money from Russia’s RT propaganda outlet for travel, and had a long dinner with Putin in Moscow for the tv station’s 10th anniversary, as well as a Russian airline that violated sanctions, and a Russian cybersecurity company with Kremlin ties.

“Mr. Flynn should be stripped of his military title, he should also be in jail right now,” Dworkin told the national news audience, “Anyone who helped cover it up, who helped push him through, they should be just as culpable as well.” He concluded:
