Did Indiana Mike Pence Know about Indiana Congressman Mark Souder's Affair?

It was Indiana Mike Pence who reported Mark Souder's Affair to the House Ethic Committee.

Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), the No. 3 Republican in the House and an Indiana colleague of Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN), informed the ethics committee that Souder was having an affair with a staffer after Souder informed him of the matter on Sunday, a Pence spokesman said today.

It's not clear why Pence went to the ethics committee about the affair.

CongressPerson Pence according to his official website was "elected to Congress in November 2000." More from the website, "Mike Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana, graduated from Hanover College in 1981 and earned his Doctorate in Jurisprudence from Indiana University School of Law in 1986." More from the website, "[h]e was.. awarded the Friend of the Family Award by the Indiana Family Institute, and the Distinguished Christian Statesmanship Award by the Center for Christian Statesmanship. In addition, he was recognized by the Inland Press Association for his work in advocating for the Freedom of Information Act, or federal media shield law."


It sounds more like the leak of Souder's affair was unstoppable and thus Pence stepped in to prevent an investigation. An investigation that might have involved finding how just who and how many in the Republican party knew about the affair but said nothing. More than likely Renee Howell was the trooper who sent Pence to the ethic committee. The sex scandal could no longer be contained to just a simple incident in the State Park.
