The same snappy little one-liners, but maybe it would be prudent to wait, see what he has to say, THEN shitcan him or not.

Trump's insurrection conspiracy is collapsing under the weight of its own corruption.

I see people slow walking their appearances to testify, and people pleading the 5th.

We will only know later if he actually co-operates. He is a slippery slime ball who was a CNN contributor. Is he the one that gave them the information?

Trump barred Pence's chief of staff from the White House after the president attacked Pence for not trying to overturn the election

Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, Marc Short, was barred from the White House on Wednesday after President Donald Trump criticized Pence for refusing to attempt to overturn the election, Bloomberg journalists first reported.

Short said Trump barred him from the grounds because the president was "blaming" him for advice he gave to Pence, according to the RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Wegmann.

Pence was a weak, sycophantic and pandering VP but on 6 Jan 2020 he rejected TFG and did what the constitution required of him. It doesn't require praise, admiration or applause because he was only doing his job. But - just imagine the state you would be in now if he didn't certify Joe's win.

that he is in there lying his ass off. Hell, if nobody's getting arrested or charged for masterminding the attempted overthow of the government, what's the risk of lying? We have several Supreme Court Justices who got there by lying.
