amid Capitol siege

Mounting evidence emerging as former president Donald Trump’s impeachment trial unfolds in the Senate this week indicates Trump may have been personally informed that Vice President Mike Pence was in physical danger during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege, just moments before denigrating him on Twitter.

Trump’s decision to tweet that Pence lacked “courage” — a missive sent shortly after the vice president had been rushed off the Senate floor — underscores how he delayed taking action to stop his supporters as they ransacked the Capitol.

Many of them were intent on doing harm to Pence, whom Trump had singled out at a rally earlier in the day, falsely claiming the vice president had the power to stop Congress from formalizing Joe Biden’s electoral college victory.

Trump’s tweet came at 2:24 p.m. that day — only 11 minutes after live television coverage showed Pence being hustled from the Senate floor because rioters were streaming into the building one floor below. The Senate then abruptly went into recess.

No surprise. Fat Nixon only thinks of himself.

1. Didn't GOP rep Mike Lee or the other GOP

rep Tommy Tuberville say that they told tRump that they were getting Pence hustled out of there at the time it was happening?

4. Yes. Trump roused the mob to blood lust and set them on the Vice President &the Speaker of the House

That is, both of his successors. If either of them had been spotted, they would have been murdered, and Trump knew it. I’ll bet he thought, in his evil twisted mind, that such an event would have allowed him to declare the martial law he so craved, and stay in power..

7. I want to know how much Pompeo was in on this because with Pence & Nancy out of the way and

Grassley sick most of the time. Pompeo would have been first in line after Trump.

10. I forgot about him.

He is never up to any good.

2. Pence Is A Coward

I'm actually sorry they didn't succeed, seeing how he has said nothing about Drumpf's actions since that day.

5. You think it was fitting for him to order the murder of his successor?He also set the howling mob on

...his other successor: the Speaker of the House. Did you see the videos of those men trotting around calling “Nancy! Come out! Naaaaaancy! Naaaancy!” It made my blood run cold.

6. I Didn't Say Anything About Nancy

And I don't condone that he aided and abetted in the pursuit of Pence.

I just think Pence is a Coward for not speaking out against the guy who essentially put a hit out on him.

He obviously doesn't care that he almost died, so neither do I.

8. He might legitimately still be under threat and intimidation.
