"SNIP......


“As the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol rushes to gather evidence and conduct interviews, how far it will be able to go in holding former President Donald Trump accountable increasingly appears to hinge on one possible witness: former Vice President Mike Pence,” the New York Times reports.

“Since the committee was formed last summer, Mr. Pence’s lawyer and the panel have been talking informally about whether he would be willing to speak to investigators… But as Mr. Pence began sorting through a complex calculation about his cooperation, he indicated to the committee that he was undecided.”

20. Maybe Pence needs a good lawyer or ten.

[madaboutharry]

4. I have come to understand that doing the right thing

is hard for a lot of people.

[Thomas Hurt]

5. Hard to overcome the desire to be a servile toady eh?

[BluesRunTheGame]

6. "Mother" won't allow any of the women on the committee to question "Father".

The questions will need to be written down and read to Mike by his minister with the women removed to another part of the building.

7. Milquetoast

[Blue Owl]

8. To hang or not be hanged... what a quandry...

[keithbvadu2]

9. Still can't find a ride that he trusts?

[Emile]

10. He's torn between who he fears the most, Jan 6 committee or proud boys!

[milestogo]

11. Criminally passive and dumb.

[Bev54]

12. Pence will be the test case for Trump for a subpoena.

[Progressive Jones]

13. It's not only possible, but probable, that he's been threatened. nt

[UTUSN]

15. What a moral/ethical/decisive *leader*!

[everyonematters]

16. On Jan 6th he did the right thing. He might do it here.

Even if he doesn't, They seem to be getting plenty of information from those who are cooperating.

[L. Coyote]

22. If Pence witnessed a felony and did not report it, he did the wrong thing.

18 U.S. Code § 4 - Misprision of felony

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

17. I doubt he'll give testimony.

Too afraid how much he may have reveal that he actually considered participating the Eastman hatched plot.

[monkeyman1]

25. he's a private citizen now - subpoena him like the rest of them!!

[kentuck]

18. Pence is an opportunist...

He is waiting to see what pressure is put on Trump before he makes his decision?

[Harker]

19. Doing the right thing shouldn't be a "complex calculation."

It's easy.

[AleksS]

21. Two things:

#1) what calculations? You’re called to testify, so you testify.

#2) do any of these fools remember Benghazi? Did Hillary get to be “undecided” about testifying? Or did she step up and get grilled for hours and hours and hours?

I think #2 is what gets me the most angry. The free pass republicans get to pull nonsense that would get democrats absolutely destroyed is infuriating.

[gratuitous]

23. Let your yes be yes, Pious Mike

Or is your Christianity just a pose?

[DallasNE]

24. Earth To Pence, You're Not In Charge Now

You lost.

[Poiuyt]

26. Why the hell is he still protecting Trump?

Talk about abused wife syndrome.
