Professor Jed Shugerman was quoted in a Vox article about the possibility that Vice President Mike Pence is guilty of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
As the New York Times reports, Pence was in the room where it happened. If, as reported, Trump read his draft letter to Pence, McGahn, and others, and if it that letter indeed was a “screed” about Comey’s handling of the Russia probe, then Pence and others had knowledge of Trump’s intentions. If Pence gave any feedback in revising the letter to cover up those intentions and to give disingenuous legal reasons for firing Comey, he is guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice and aiding and abetting.
