I just started to read this. Seems like she is trying to rewrite history.
The answer is simple. Trump fired Flynn. Pence had no authority to do so.
Trump tweeted about this months after it happened.
She wonders how Pence knew about Flynn phone call.
I know the answer to that. It was big news. It came out on Jan 12 Jan. 12 — The Washington Post reports that Flynn and Kislyak spoke on Dec. 29, the day that the U.S. announced new sanctions on Russia in response to the cyberattacks during the 2016 presidential election.
This is what caused Pence to speak to Flynn. On Jan 15 Flynn was interviewed on CBS and was questioned about Flynn's phone call.
So she got the timeline wrong. Nobody had to ask about how Pence was informed about Flynn's private conversations. We know this. Flynn spoke to Pence after the phone call came out in the news.
The idea that a mere FBI agent pushed Pence to fire Flynn is silly. Nobody at the FBI has influence over White House decisions. And we know it was a senior DOJ official who told the White House Flynn lied to the FBI. And Trump admitted he knew Flynn lied to the FBI which is a crime. A crime Flynn plead guilty to.
This is like the easier part of the Flynn affair to understand.
Thanks for all of this. I'm still waiting to know the end of the story regarding Pence. To this day, I'm still willing to consider that he acted without betraying.
