The relationship between former President Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence will take center stage at the Jan. 6 committee’s third hearing as it examines the “pressure campaign on Vice President Pence driven by the former president.”

“Tomorrow’s hearing is going to focus on former President Trump’s attempts to pressure former Vice President Pence to unilaterally change the results of the election in the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6,” a select committee aide told reporters.

More vapor ware. Nothing of substance, just he-said-she-said and off the cuff opinion from trump haters. But watch how they try to spin it into some kind of nefarious conspiracy…for laughs, eventually.

I hold Judas Benedict Arnold Pence equally in contempt with Poopy Pants Brandon for inflicting the myriad crises upon
our country and the world!!!

If it isn’t already DOA, I hope this focus will prove to be the final nail in the coffin of his ludicrous presidential aspirations!!!

Putt8ng “pressure” (whatever THAT is) is not illegal in the absence of real extortion.

Thud stupid circus needs to drop the tent pole and pack it up.

President Trump’s attempts to pressure former Vice President Pence to unilaterally change the results of the election

"Hey, Mike! Could you wave that magic wand and just change all the outcomes in that last election?"

What a gross mischaracterization.

People care about their vote counting being honest.

Even Jimmy Carter went around the world monitoring
elections that would be fair and honest.
Heck the wife and I have been pole watchers, and
captains at the state caucuses.

Dems don’t get how upset we are that this election
was stolen by a no good grifter and his dishonest
family.

Pence didn’t defent his oath of office and we
are all in deep do do and seeing our great country
and its decent people suffer because he didn”t.

How many times throughout history has the VP been pressured to scrutinize the counting of electoral votes, as those same electoral votes were questioned?

2016…Democratics were advocating for states to send alternative electors

Etc

Many times the “big lie” has played out. Most times when a Republican was elected

When did it become a crime to expect your vice president to do the right thing?

There is ZERO chance they'd make this a centerpiece if they werent sure that Mike Pence would not just say "nah, he never pressured me unduly." They already know he won't do that because, no doubt, they've already worked that out with him.

And this ... guy ... thinks he can win us over and become President? He's managed to get both sides to dislike him.

If he were the nominee Biden would be the easy choice.

I watched Pence at the last rally before the count. He made everyone think he was going to do the right thing.
