Pence Gets His Revenge By Letting It Be Known That Trump's Impeachment Lawyers Are Lying

People close to Pence are still livid with Trump for his behavior and if people close to the former VP aren’t happy, it is a safe bet that Pence is also not pleased. Pence is going to run for the Republican nomination in 2024, so he isn’t going to publicly burn Trump and his supporters, but he can get revenge by making sure that word gets out that Trump and his lawyers lied at the impeachment trial.

He is too cowardly to come forward and speak for himself.

He is not deserving of any respect at all.

Pence probably knew all this information b at least Jan 7th. If that is true and he didn't enact the 25th how can anyone vote for Pence.

Is (in due time) write a memoir of his years dealing with DJT, exactly what went on behind the scenes including the insurrection. He’d never be able to run for office again but, if he told the honest truth, he’d write a best seller. He’s angry, so maybe...
Nah, he won’t. That would be violating St. Ronnie’s 11th Commandment, Thou shalt not speak ill of another Repug.

He was under investigation in Indiana for influence pedaling and suspected bribery for favorable treatment of his financial and political pals, or words to that effect. The investigation was dropped after Mike became Trump's VP candidate.

By reputation Mike has a long history of helping others who help him. So he might want to avoid telling one narrow set of truths while avoiding all the other "context" which may come back to haunt him.

Mike is one of those in the GOP who feel public business as a public official is best done via private email. Imagine what lies on a server somewhere waiting to be exhumed, eh?

stands a chance of getting the Repuke nomination if Trumpass runs in 2024. Conviction of the orange turd now should be motivation enough for Pence to publicly denounce Hair Shitler.

The other day I asked someone to change their headline and another DUer tried to shame me for it. Not having it. This is misleading and so are many others!

We are better than that.

Trump has dirt on every one of them via Putin. They are all traitors, some are directly complicit in the insurrection, and the rest are all indirectly complicit via the almost certain acquittal we are going to see. The compromises go back to 2016 and before. This ending has always been in the cards.

He'll use his campaign to pay all his legal bills and he'll intimidate republicans from coast to coast. Only trump humpers will get on the ballot, from the highest office, to dog catcher. Republicans can't see what's obvious to everyone else. You don't negotiate with terrorists.

The article that I read said sources close to Pence which in my book isn't Pence. Pence is scared, he won't say squat.

Big deal. Pence is a non-entity in the party of Trump.

If Trump is not taken down by the Southern District or the NY AG then he will run in 2024 or one of his cretinous off-spring will. If he runs he will win the GOP nomination. He might win in the electoral college. If his off-spring run they will get hammered.

Please let him start a third party. Anything to destroy the GOP.

How is Pence going to get his revenge by making sure everyone knows the stripped-down, leaner-and-meaner Legal Dream Team is lying, yet not anger the MAGAts and their MAGAtlord? Seems like those two things are mutually exclusive, to me.

Trying to disguise it by leaks from people "close to Pence" isn't going to do it. Even those dimwits can connect dots that big and close together.
