President Pelosi has a nice ring to it! President Donald Trump dragged Vice President Mike Pence’s name into his growing Ukraine scandal on Wednesday.
The White House released a summary of a conversation in which Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. But Trump said he was not the only one to speak to Zelensky.
“I think you should ask for Vice President Pence’s conversation because he had a couple of conversations also,” Trump said.
Trump also said he and Pence would both be exonerated, and called the vice president’s conversations with Ukraine “perfect.”
Critics of the administration are now envisioning a scenario in which both Trump and Pence end up impeached. While it would take an unlikely sequence of events for that to happen, the reaction caused #PresidentPelosi to trend Wednesday night and Thursday morning, given that the speaker of the House would be next in the line of succession:

Trump is totally clueless about what exoneration means, he doesn't understand that getting away with something is not exoneration. There is no exoneration for Trump as far as withholding military aid to the Ukraine, he did damage by them not getting it in the timely way congress meant it to happen with.

Recall what happened after Nixon quit ? New prez Ford (the old VP) promptly pardoned Nixon. Maybe that's what old orange-head has planned, so he won't be charged. Ideas?

We'll see who caves first. Maybe someone will remind those two, that they CAN be indicted, tried and sent to prison after leaving office.

There is a backstop, Pence can’t pardon Trump for state felonies and the New York AG is locked and loaded.
