Former Vice President Mike Pence said he would comply with the law if he were compelled to testify in former President Donald Trump’s trial in the 2020 election case.
he says that now… when the time comes, however, exactly what will his “compliance” look like?
sure, I believe he’d show up, but I also believe he’ll give mostly equivocations, pleas to the 5th, non-remembrances, and non-answer answers that mostly cover his own ass and deflect blame from the GOP than testimony that would give any real insight into or damning evidence against Trump or his co-conspirators.
If Pence had any desire to serve justice, he would have done so long, long ago.
What could he have done?
He seems like a straight guy in every sense of the word. I vehemently disagree with his politics but I am sure that he will testify truthfully.
For a start he could have testified to the Jan 6th House Select Committee…
I never said that I expect he’d commit perjury
You didn’t, but you put him in the same lump as Gaetz, McConnell or that woman who I refuse to name.
oh, I’d expect Gaetz to outright lie on the stand, and wouldn’t be surprised if he’s done it many times already. McConnell and She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Well, he’s smarter than that, and she definitely isn’t. She’d blurt out the truth and get nailed for it!
That’s certainly what he’s done in the media, but I’m not so sure that’s how he’ll respond when 1) he’s answering narrow questions crafted by an experienced attorney and 2) he’s answering questions after having sworn to God that he would tell the truth
the traitor also swore on the bible hed uphold the constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC
his displayed pattern of behavior for the past several decades has been a hateful, self-serving scumbag. why would that suddenly change now?
Pence? I don’t like the guy for his religious ideologies, but that man is furious at what Trump did to him on Jan 6.
I don’t think he’ll go above and beyond to bury Trump, but he won’t be putting impediments to the prosecution at all.
yeah, he hates trump, but he loves the GOP, and hurting Trump hurts the GOP.
and while I don’t think he’d hurt the prosecution, I have serious doubts as to how much he’d actually help them.
