http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/pence-insists-decision-to-fire-comey-not-connected-to-russia-probe/
Vice President Mike Pence said on Wednesday FBI Director James Comey was fired to restore confidence in the law enforcement agency and not because of any connection to its probe of possible Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election.
That was not what this was about, Pence told reporters at the U.S. Capitol when asked whether President Donald Trumps decision to fire Comey was related to the Russia investigation. The president took strong and decisive leadership here to put the safety and security of the American people first.

OP
Flynn was fired for lying to Pence, not Pence is lying to us. Fire him, lock him up.

Putin tells CBS News "we have nothing to do with" firing of Comey, says Trump is" acting accordance with his law" http://cbsn.ws/2dPL2bN

Certainly not with Federal statues. No matter how you feel about Comey, if President Obama didn't fire him for the crap he pulled, and if he hadn't been let go as part of Drumpf's transitional team, Drumpf has no legitimate justification for firing Comey at this point in time.
It's so f'ing transparent what corrupt Drumpf is doing. He might as well have asked Putin for a hypodermic umbrella and some polonium.

Pence has declared that he's a Christian first, a conservative second, and a Republican third.
Notice anything missing?
I wonder how far down the list "American" would come in.
