    Let’s talk about Mike Pence. Our corrupt VP has managed to stay off the radar for three years, hiding in the wide shadow cast by Trump. Time to put him in the spotlight. [THREAD]pic.twitter.com/OgVNS6ygKO

        1/ When tapped by Trump, Mike Pence was an unpopular governor on the way out of a job. There were scandals: He regularly used his personal AOL account for government business, and he used campaign contributions to pay his mortgage.

        2/ Indiana was sick of him—and BECAUSE of him. His signature achievement as governor was causing an HIV outbreak in the state. Read this.

        3/ Pence ended federal funding for Planned Parenthood because of his Draconian anti-choice stance—AND THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACE YOU COULD GET TESTED FOR HIV IN SCOTT COUNTY, INDIANA. Retrograde religious beliefs have real-world consequences. Moving on…

        4/ In 2016, Mike Pence is an abject failure. He’s mired in scandal, he’s violated campaign finance rules, and he’s needlessly caused a major AIDS outbreak in his state. But because he hates gay people, the Evangelicals think he’s boss.https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mike-pence-supported-gay-conversion-therapy/ …

        5/ In 2016, in short, Mike Pence is DESPERATE. His political career appears over. What will he do now? What would Mother say? And THAT'S when Paul Manafort came calling.

        6/ Manafort, as is now clear, was dirty. He was working for the Russians then. He’s STILL working for the Russians, in his prison cell, instructing Giuliani how to properly treason. Paulie recognized the desperation. He pegged Pence as a politician who could be easily controlled.

        7/ Trump famously did not want Pence. Manafort arranged for his campaign jet to be “stalled” in Indiana so Trump could meet the governor. He ran an “op,” basically. The rest is history.

        8/ Pence’s function was, and is, to stand by Trump & affect calm by lying in a radio-friendly voice. He’s very good at this. As a liar, he’s head and shoulders above the rest. An example of an egregious Pence lie:https://twitter.com/ddiamond/status/884162507291676674 …

        9/ So: Putin picked Manafort, Manafort picked Pence. Pence worked closely with Manafort’s deputy, Rick Gates, long after Paulie Walnuts resigned after his fishy Ukraine ties became too damaging politically. (Oh the irony!)

        10/ You will recognize the name “Rick Gates” from the Mueller Report. Gates flipped and is a key government witness. And, again, was in lockstep with Pence for months.

        11/ After the Kushner coup, Pence usurped Chris Christie as head of the Trump transition team, which is basically a Rogue’s Gallery of future inmates. His deputy? Moscow Mike Flynn!

        12/ Mike Flynn was dirty, and many people warned Trump and the transition team about this. Yates, Cummings, Obama himself. Trump hired him anyway. And Pence went along for the ride.

        Pence is not getting nearly enough scrutiny in the media for his hands on role running the transition. Reminder after the news out the last 48 hours: he lawyered up very early this year. https://twitter.com/adamparkhomenko/status/910857530410139648 …

        16/ In 2018, Trump asked Pence’s longtime Chief of Staff, Nick Ayers, to replace John Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. Ayers resigned to spend more time with his family, as one does when one is 36 and offered the job of a lifetime:https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/nick-ayers-trumps-once-likely-replacement-for-chief-of-staff-john-kelly-wont-take-the-job/2018/12/09/5ecf5a10-fbf9-11e8-ad40-cdfd0e0dd65a_story.html …

        18/ So it’s no surprise that Mike Pence was in on the Ukraine call, the Zelensky shakedown, and all the rest. He knew about Trump’s extortion, just as he knew about Flynn. Pence must go BECAUSE HE KNEW, AND HE IS THEREFORE A TRAITOR.

        19/ Again: Flynn's guilty plea means that Pence either knew or is a moron. And I don't think he's a moron. Not in that sort of way. All evidence suggests that he knew damned well what he was, and is, doing. #PenceKnew.

        Is there any good reason not to subpoena Pence? VP doesn't enjoy the protections the president has. Subpoena him and hold him in contempt if he doesn't show. We need to know who Pence is working for: the American people or Donald Trump.
