"SNIP.......

Former president Donald Trump denied that he tried to force vice president Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results on January 6 last year.

Mr Trump’s words come a day after the House select committee investigating the riot at the US Capitol held its third public hearing, where Mr Pence’s former White House Counsel Greg Jacob testified about the pressure campaign the former vice president sustained at the hands of the president and his legal team.

Why don't you come in and tell them - under oath, naturally - just how much you didn't ask Pence to overturn the election. You'd get fantastic ratings, ratings like nobody has ever seen before, nobody will believe it!

You know you want to, Donald. Fuck those dumbass lawyers you hired. Do it.

You're smarter than everyone on that committee. Go to the hearing room and show them all. Do it, Donald.

never asked/said/did..never asked Russia to find Hillary's emails, never asked Zelensky to dig up dirt on the Bidens, never downplayed the pandemic, never said ingesting bleach was a possible covid cure, never disappeared 300,000 covid deaths, never asked the Georgia Secretary of State to find 11,780 votes, never conspired to overthrow an election, never asked Pence to refuse to certify the election, never incited an insurrection...and the granddaddy of all nevers..never told a lie...
