L. Lin Wood, an attorney who purports to be trying to help President Trump prove the election was stolen, made some outrageous, nay, insane statements on Twitter on New Year’s Day, saying that Vice President Mike Pence is a traitor and predicting that the VP will “sing like a bird” when he faces a firing squad.
The latest conspiracy theory to make the rounds (so far as I can tell) is that Pence has been surreptitiously leading the Deep State effort to remove Trump as the lawful president. The “evidence” revolves around a lawsuit filed by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Arizona Republicans claiming to be “alternate electors,” asking a federal judge to give Pence the power to overturn the vote of the Electoral College, which awarded Joe Biden 306 votes to Trump’s 232 on Dec. 16. They argue that the Constitution gives Pence the power to choose which slate of electors he will certify later this month.
A Department of Justice attorney representing Pence, the sole defendant in the lawsuit, urged the judge to reject the claim, saying, “A suit to establish that the Vice President has discretion over the count, filed against the Vice President, is a walking legal contradiction.”
“The Senate and the House, not the Vice President, have legal interests that are sufficiently adverse to plaintiffs to ground a case or controversy under Article III,” the filing argued. Pence “respectfully request(s) denial of plaintiffs’ emergency motion because the relief that plaintiffs request does not properly lie against the Vice President.”
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee, ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing and that Gohmert suffered no legally recognizable injury.

"If Pence is arrested, @SecPompeo will save the election. Pence will be in jail awaiting trial for treason. He will face execution by firing squad. He is a coward & will sing like a bird & confess ALL."
How many of you, after reading Lin Wood's rants are beginning to suspect that he might be a media or Democrat Trojan Horse planted to pretend to be Trump's supporter but is really there to provide cannon fodder for the left to paint all who say that the election has been stolen as right wing cuckoos?
Lin Wood is nuts
These stories make the FR read like a tabloid.
All the qtard stuff does.
I’m NOT joining your ‘throw Wood under the bus’
You and others seem very threatened by him....
Get a grip!....and stop fear monger ing!

The answer to your question is NONE HERE. As long as someone is bashing VP Pence, everyone here will be happy to support Wood.
I wonder what Hannity is going to say as he’s had nothing but glowing compliments for Wood all along...
Pence has been loyal to Trump. Both Pence and this Trump-appointed judge understand that the Constitution and federal law don’t give a vice president the right to just throw out electoral votes he doesn’t like.
And now Wood is saying Pence will get the “firing squad?” This is getting embarrassing.
Ohhhhkayyyy. What’s going on here?
Either Lin’s prediction about Pence will be true or false.
Simple as that.
Good comment.
To the degree this appears true - outwardly, yes.
I think some attorneys can get taken in by the media attention and start needing the fix. I think of Michael Avenetti, Gerry Spence, Gloria Allred, the guy who kept trying to remove God from the public fora, and many more who seem to gravitate to anything that will bring more publicity to them and, in doing so, lose a sense of propriety or common sense until they devolve to laughing stocks.
Attorney Lin Wood... I think he’s gone off the deep end..
Odd that President Trump hasn’t publicly distanced himself from Wood after this statement.
I knew Wood was nuts from day one.
Pence got an envelope. I’ve been suspicious ever since.
“All the qtard stuff does”..
Said the sheep.
