Suddenly, Pence suggests, investigations into the president have expiration dates
By Philip Bump May 10, 2018

...“What I think is that it’s been about a year since this investigation began. Our administration’s provided over a million documents. We’ve fully cooperated in it and, in the interest of the country, I think it’s time to wrap it up. ..

What Pence is really saying is that a politically inconvenient thing should go away. There’s not much more to it than that, and one need not read too far into things to get that message.
What’s striking, though, is how far that deviates from recent Republican attitudes toward investigations into their political opponents.

There’s the Benghazi investigation, of course, which extended from the attacks in Libya in 2012 until about a month after the 2016 election. It was instrumental in affecting the 2016 election, not because it implicated Hillary Clinton in her role as secretary of state but because it exposed the private email server she used during that period, leading to the FBI investigation that reemerged right before Election Day...

...Republicans seized on “Fast and Furious” as a significant scandal in the early days of the administration of Barack Obama. Beginning in January 2011,..

...That wasn’t the end of the investigation. When Attorney General Eric Holder refused to provide documents related to the investigation, he was held in contempt by the House. That was in June 2012, about 18 months after Congress first started asking questions.

Among those voting to hold Holder in contempt? Pence, then a member of the House from Indiana.

The probe kept going...

....Of course Pence wants the probe to end. Were he still in the House and were the investigation focused on a President Hillary Clinton? One can suspect that Pence’s measured response to an interview question would not be that the probe needed to end “in the interest of the country.”

Pence calls on Mueller to wrap up' Russia probe - BBC News

US Vice-President Mike Pence has urged special counsel Robert Mueller to "wrap up" his investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

He said the White House has "fully co-operated" with the probe, which is looking at whether US President Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia.
===============================================
Getting a little ahead of yourself there, Mike? With all the information about Michael Cohen & his links with Russian oligarchs just coming out, why the rush? What about the firm run by the oligarch's relation setting up alt-right web sites before the 2016 election? Getting a little warm in the WH?

Pence is the republican establishment poster child for mendacious hypocrisy. He is arguably a greater threat to what reasonable people regard as reasonable than Trump is.

but at least Pence doesn't convey the fifth grade vocabulary, the child like impulsiveness, the immaturity, and the outright contempt for morality that Trump demonstrates on a minute to minute, 24/7/365 basis ....................

But it wasn’t just Benghazi. There was also the investigation into a failed 2009-2010 ATF program nicknamed Fast and Furious,...

....Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the likely successor to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), told Fox News’s Sean Hannity explicitly on Tuesday night that the Clinton investigation was part of a “strategy to fight and win.”

He explained: “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought.”...

I don't think so; most people I know want to know what the heck happened in that election. "IF" we can't have honest, fair and above board elections without outside meddling then we don't have a Republic. Everyone needs to just shut up and let Mueller do his job. Pence, Avenatti and especially the president need to stop. IF the administration had no involvement with the Russians or "whomever" then they have nothing to fear and in fact should be championing Mueller's work.
