DAY 147: Even Mike Pence had to get a criminal lawyer because of Russia investigation

Even Mike Pence had to hire a criminal lawyer to defend him because of the Russia investigation. According to The New York Times, Pence didn't interact much with Trump's campaign before he was picked by Trump for his VP, but he could be called as a witness:

Mr. Pence has retained Richard Cullen, a former United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, becoming one of the most prominent figures in the Trump administration to have taken on personal white-collar criminal defense counsel.

...

But as the special counsel investigation progresses — focusing increasingly on the president himself and his actions in office — the vice president’s account as a possible witness may become more relevant.

Still, one has to wonder what exactly did Pence witness that warrants a criminal lawyer.

And by the way: the fact that Pence hired a lawyer completely contradicts Trump's Twitter tantrum thrown today:

They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice

Well, Mike Pence hired a criminal lawyer, so doesn't seem to think so.
