...but really, to expect Mike Pence to have the moral courage to do 11 minutes is a stretch. Or 11 seconds, for that matter.

if he wasn’t there to certify the vote he would have to explain why. That meant either claiming he was kidnapped by the SS, or admitting he left voluntarily. Neither was acceptable.

Assuming, of course, he was alive to answer questions.

He knows that it will not only take down Trump, but the entire new, quasi Republican Party of Fascists. He can't do that, because he will be out of a job forever. The DOJ/Garland investigation may turn out to be VERY similar to Mueller and his investigation's outcome and Report. Mueller was a lifetime Devout Republican, and knew if he came out strong with all the information, it would DESTROY the Republican Party he had been faithful to his entire life.

I am not sure about Garland and I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens with him.......................

The committee has no prosecution ability, it must go to the DOJ for prosecution.........

I suspect that this will all come to a head with the 2022 election if the Republicans take over the Majority in the House/and or Senate.

Be afraid, be very afraid.................

70 Million Trumphumper voters will have a hard time admitting they were conned and played as fools by the ENTIRE "Republican" Party and their existence is nothing more than a group of un-informed, un-educated cult members......

That's the question. He knew that they just wanted him off of the property so they could continue with the coop.

pence knew something was up, probably from what he heard and saw leading up to Jan. 6. If he didn't overhear the plan, he put 2 and 2 together.
