Which happened to be the same day that WaPo published a big piece on the matter.

NBC's Peter Alexander tweets:

quote:

FLAGGING: NBC News confirms VP Pence was only informed of DOJ warning regarding Flynn on Feb 9th, 11 days after WH & president knew.


Lol they weren't going to tell him but it looks like they finally were forced to.

Why didn't the DOJ tell Pence? Would that have been undermining to Trump?

He probably didn't find out until he watched the tv news, right?

Why would they? While he has a big role per Trump, he is still just the VP

The question is why is the DOJ listening in (perhaps illegally) on a private citizen's phone calls? Who in the Obama administration authorized it? We know Sally Yates (an Obama appointee) was likely the leaker of the info to the press, but who authorized the NSA to tap Flynn's phone calls in the first place? It has to go all the way up to at least Clapper. To me, that is the real scandal here, not Flynn's discussion of sanctions.

You contain leaks by informing as few as possible. There was no need to tell Pence until it became public. I would suspect that only Trump and Priebus knew about it.

This to me points to the DOJ being the source of the leaks. AG Sessions is going to clean house in that agency. My guess is that it happens quite quickly. I would fire every department head and deputy in the Justice Department. I would also accept the resignations of all US Attorneys Nation wide.

Can you imagine if this much scrutiny was applied to the prior admin.

They incorrectly assumed Trump and the White House would do the right thing.

You dumbasses thought Trump would run his staff like Trump Tower.

Instead, you got Trump Steaks, Trump Air, Trump University, Trump Taj Mahal, etc.
