Is Pence scared he's also a target,

[duforsure]

And why he recently suggested he might testify , if asked, for the Jan 6th committee?

[Mike Nelson]

1. I think not...

... he's been keeping his position as the possible "great white hope" of the GOP. He was playing both sides, as much as he could without breaking any law... I think he always kept himself on the sidelines, although he would have happily accepted the Trump coup, of course. He may be following the usual routine re the 1/6 committee... agree, lie, negotiate, lie, bargain, delay, lie, reschedule... oh, look, the House flipped and the committee dissolves. The clock ran out.

17. One problem with that scenario,

It's looking more and more like we will hold the House and possibly add seats to the Senate, but Cheney and Kinzinger will be off the J6 Committee as of Jan. 2023.

18. Yes his answer was very much a politician's word salad that really said nothing.

2. Before the safe was opened at Merde Largo,

i would have said no quickly.

I still say no, but ..

[Quakerfriend]

3. Yup, especially given the odd relationship

between Pence’s brother…Russia… and Manafort.

4. Pence' brother??

[Quakerfriend]

5. Yes, his brother's company makes military

equipment for Russia.

9. Gregg Pence...

Who is also a member of the US House of Representatives.

Nothing untoward about that.

[Tetrachloride]

7. I revise my opinion. Pence is a target but not necessarily

in the same senses as TFG

[2naSalit]

10. He's probably in a...

Branch of the RICO case upcoming.

11. Pence is afraid of Trump's cult.

Like the rest of us, he sees them threatening various individuals and their families. He also sees them showing up to homes and businesses, heavily armed. He doesn't want them coming after him, too. And, like the rest of them, Pence is a big, motherfucking coward, so being scared comes with the territory.

12. He is scared he is a target of the MAGA Cult .

[3Hotdogs]

14. I'm sure there are maggots that would physically harm him if they had access to him.

13. I listened to what Pence said,

it was a nothingburger to me, another distraction.

[kentuck]

16. Maybe?

His hands are not clean.

Of course, he is an opportunistic politician who still believes he will be the next president. He will not come out of his hole until he senses it is absolutely safe for him. He is not a profile in courage.
