People close to Pence are still livid with Trump for his behavior and if people close to the former VP arent 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 isnt 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 not deserving of any respect at all.

(1,114 posts)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.

Nah, he wont. That would be violating St. Ronnies 11th Commandment, Thou shalt not speak ill of another Repug.

(7,895 posts)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?

(5,657 posts)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.

(15,645 posts)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.

(3,011 posts)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.

(21,334 posts)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.

(1,685 posts)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.

(11,563 posts)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.
