Pence chief of staff Marc Short questioned by Jan. 6 committee

Source: ABC

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, has answered questions from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, two sources familiar with the deposition told ABC News. ...

Short's decision to answer questions from committee investigators rather than fight the subpoena issued to him is the latest reminder that several key players close to Trump are quietly cooperating with the Jan. 6 investigation. ...

In the six months since it was created, the select committee has interviewed more than 350 witnesses, received more than 300 substantive tips and issued more than 50 subpoenas -- for phone and email records, Trump administration documents, witness testimony and bank records, according to the committee's public disclosures and lawsuits filed by witnesses.

The panel has also received nearly 40,000 pages of records -- including text messages, emails and Trump administration documents provided by the National Archives in four separate tranches.

Promising people he’d pardon them for their crimes. I suspect a lot of the Jan 6ers aren’t going to fall for that shit twice(but who knows. Of course many will be in jail so can’t participate next time)
