Vice President Mike Pence, when asked about the firing of of former FBI director James Comey, said it had nothing to do with the investigation into Russia.
“That’s not what this is about,’’ he told reporters at the Capitol. “The president took strong and decisive leadership here to put the safety and the security of the American people first.’’
I am going to have say as politely and as possible, that I severely disagree with the statement from this man. It attempts to paint a false portrait of the greatness of the man to whom he owes his political life, because his last one in Indiana was going down the toilet. It attempts to camouflage the selfish motivation of the current man in the Oval Office.
More simply, it is an weak attempt to put lipstick on a pig.

Note though, how he speaks in platitudes, offering no specificity on how the president arrived at his decision, and completely ignoring the question of the timing of the decision. I listened to the full 2:03 minutes he spoke on the topic, so I know, he said nothing during this time. He is a skilled politician.
He knows how to (i) remain above the fray and (ii) continue the charade in order to show loyalty to his boss. And why shouldn't he?
He is next in line for the crown. He can just bide his time and let it come to him.
