Pence comes out swinging at Trump following Jan 6 indictment: 'Should never be president'

Former Vice President Mike Pence didn't parse words when reacting to former President Donald Trump's indictment by Special Counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday.

In a statement released following Trump's indictment on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Pence accused Trump of putting himself over the Constitution, and said a Trump candidacy would serve as a distraction from President Biden's "disastrous" record.

"Today's indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States," Pence said. "I will have more to say about the government’s case after reviewing the indictment."

Trump took too much advice. I hope he gets a third shot, but he needs to be so careful. Too many snakes out there.

“The new indictment is legally untenable.”

Not in Tier #2 of the legal system.

One thing to note in that regard is, CONSPIRACY. Conspiracy charges are put forth when they have nothing else. Nothing concrete and there’s a chance someone can be intimidated into a plea or rolling over.

Read that Smith is asking for a speedy trial. That’s usually something a defendant asks for, not the prosecutor. A good prosecutor, with an air tight case doesn’t care about when the trial is, unless the defendant is a violent offender or there’s a risk they’ll run.

If smith does, in fact, want a speedy trial then I think that’s telling. Meaning his case in Florida is a dog. Bragg’s case is a dog. So, in order to prevent being embarrassed, prosecute him in DC asap. Convict him. Ineligible to run.

Then toss in the mounting evidence with the Bidens.

Amazing how disgraceful these people are.

No one cares what Pence thinks! He is DC. Part of the problem not part of the people!

Outside of Indiana, who would have ever heard of this turncoat if it wasn’t for Trump? He is absolutely dispicable.

Trump has been damn near spot on right on every hot topic he’s spoke on ever since early 2020 when crazy nancy was inviting everyone out to party in Chinatown San Francisco, Ca. He was right about Hydroxychloroquine and he wanted it used immediately. Even had Democratic State Representative, Karen Whitsett who’s life was saved with HCL in the Whitehouse praising HCL. He was right about hunters laptop and biden getting money from china. HE WAS RIGHT! No wonder the deep state wants him in prison....so they can kill him.

anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States," Pence said.

This statement is amusing, coming from you, Mikey.

One more person PDJT elevated to high position within the system who stabs him in the back. If not for Trump, Pence would be a robotic nobody, hanging out with “Mother” in a middle-class community.

If convicted, Trump will not be ineligible to run, but depending on the charges, if convicted, he will be in a DC jail. He can run from jail though.

If there was any doubt that Pence was in on it, that is over. The CIA and FBI agents and Pence led a coup with the help of Wray and Polsi. And of course they silenced Trump on Twitter. Jack Smith runs around and arrests Trump in three different jurisdictions. How can anyone see this any other way.

I will vote for Trump even if I have to write him in. The other candidates are in with Pence.

Chickenshit move by Pence. He proved he’ll cave to the Democrats. He’s done.

Pence for four years- “ we are making America great again.” Pence now- “ it was all a lie.”
