Pence has not ruled out 25th Amendment, source says
CNN ^ | January 9, 2021 | By Jim Acosta and Pamela Brown

Posted on 01/09/2021 8:04:52 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Vice President Mike Pence has not ruled out an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment and wants to preserve the option in case President Donald Trump becomes more unstable, a source close to the vice president says.

The source said there is some concern inside Pence's team that there are risks to invoking the 25th Amendment or even to an impeachment process, as Trump could take some sort of rash action putting the nation at risk.

As of Saturday evening, Trump and Pence still have not spoken since the Wednesday incursion at the US Capitol that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer, another source told CNN. The President has also not made any public comments denouncing death threats that have been posted on social media targeting Pence.

However I dont believe Pence wants to go this route.

If he doesn't, it's because he thinks it would not be successful, and then he'd be in deeper waters than he's already in.

The president has a 48% approval rating after the Wednesday fiasco. The VP and the rest of the GOP like him are signing their own dismissal papers for good.

I’ll stick with the first report - and a source that’s NOT CNN.

What’s with the idea of a dead capitol police person? Does anyone know if it’s true, or what happened?

What if Pence was playing a role?

You and I know that if he would have decertified the votes, the media and even GOP elites would be screaming bloody murder.

All optics folks.

I believe the statements made by Barr and other Republicans denouncing Trump for his language is just a show too.

Because they know what's coming.

This coming week is when the covert war with the Deep State and Global Elites breaks out onto the surface. I strongly encourage FReepers to go to the grocery store, pharmacy, gas station, etc to get prepapred for the explosive next 10 days.
