Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared for seven hours before a federal grand jury investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot Thursday — one day after a federal appeals court rejected a bid by former President Donald Trump to block him from doing so.
A three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, consisting of a Trump appointee and two appointees of former President Barack Obama, had issued a sealed order denying the 76-year-old’s appeal late Wednesday.

Spokespeople and lawyers for Trump remained mum on the development.
The former vice president and potential presidential candidate had said he would comply with a judge’s order to discuss the riot on the record as the federal panel weighs obstruction and conspiracy charges against Trump and his allies.
After four years of fealty to Trump, Pence, 63, issued a blistering rebuke of his boss’ calls to overturn the 2020 election, writing in his memoir “So Help Me God” last year that the 45th president’s “reckless words had endangered my family and all those serving at the Capitol and I know history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”

Pence was subpoenaed by Smith in February, prompting Trump’s team to attempt to invoke executive privilege to block the grand jury from hearing from the former vice president.
That request was blocked by a judge last month, though the court did rule that Pence could not be forced to answer questions about his presiding over the certification of the election results.
One line in the book about Pence’s relationship with Trump may have offered a clue to how his testimony would play out.
“For four years, we had a close working relationship,” it reads. “It did not end well.”

Judas.
While the doors WERE closed, observers reported hearing champaigne glasses klinking.
Pence is done.
Im sure his testimony was of no use to the scumbags running this shitshow.
There’s a little thing called a subpoena….
That would be 7 hours more than he ever defended Trump as VP.
Did Pence just become Liz Cheney the 2nd?
Has he officially announced a waste of time running for (p)resident?
So? The rule of law us dead.
Why would Pence not have executive privilege ? Did he just waive it or did he not even put up a fight. Either way it proves he is incapable of holding the office of the executive branch.
7 hours.. is that longer than protest.. turned FBI riot.. lasted
What law has been broken?
He fought and lost. Trump fought. He lost.
demonic family
Nope, he’s not the one who’s going to now be indicted (and a second time at that) and have to appear in Washington it would seem… I’m almost certain he sang like a freaking canary, and there’s not much Pres Trump can really do about it, except go under oath himself, and clear his name with 100% truth.
I don’t think he had a choice. He tried but the judge said no.
