Mike Pence says he’d consider testifying before January 6 committee if invited
CNN ^ | 8/17/22 | Athena Jones

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he would give “due consideration” to any formal invitation to testify before the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, while hinting at potential executive privilege issues.

Pence made the remarks during a Q&A after a speech here at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics’ “Politics & Eggs” breakfast, a common stop for candidates considering a run for office.

“If there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it,” Pence said, after calling January 6 a tragic day for all Americans. “But, you heard me mention the Constitution a few times this morning. Under the Constitution, we have three co-equal branches of government, and any invitation to be directed to me, I would have to reflect on the unique role I was serving in as vice president.

Pence is desperate for an invitation from someone.

Thinking maybe he could finagle an endorsement from Kinzinger or Cheney at the committee.
That would be good for two votes.

What was Trump supposed to do? When you enter the swamp and the swamp creatures that surround you are lying, sniveling, rats that are the only pool from which to choose from - there’s no way around bad picks.

If Pence agrees to speak at this witch hunt then all he does is expose what he really is. That he’s quoted as saying he’d even consider it is very telling.

It really just exposes the fact that the swamp stinks more than we ever realized.

Pence showed his true colors when his actions showed himself to be completely disinterested in making sure the election was free, fair and honest. HE is not an honest person if his actions do not support the fairness of the election, which cheats all citizens out of an honest vote. That makes him a supporter of the rogue state and definitely NOT a servant of the citizens. Now, I consider Pence an evil person. He talked a good game for a long time, but his actions did not back up his words. Now, he is a political nothing to me . . . an outcast just the same as Liz Cheney.

What was Trump supposed to do?

Fire Fauci. Next, Trump should not have rewarded Milley and Wray etc. with nominations. How many members of the swamp did Trump fire? Compare that figure with the number of deep staters that Trump embraced.

That’s hind-sight. It’s tough to sort out when just about everyone around you is a swamp creature.

Posobiec spoke of Pence going to St Croix both shortly after Jan 6 and after Biden came to DC this week. Prior to J6,:Pence spoke of finding all illegal votes-as in 2 days prior to J6. See Posobiec’s feed. https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1551912755321511937?s=20&t=zrhlDta2vgSkKVVPvnzIgg

Pence had wanted to play for a POTUS nom in 2016

He’s been promised something

Much like chess, foresight is critical to being an effective leader. Over the past 70 years we have known about the swamp, formerly known as the shadow government. This should not have been a surprise to Trump. It was also quite evident that Fauci was a fascist fraudster. Still, he was kept on. Same goes for Milley. etc.

Julian Assange was exposing the corruption of the deep state. Trump had the ability to pardon Assange from the day he was sworn in. Yet, he failed to do so.
