Why? He’ll just lie and won’t be called out for it.
FTA-——“Mike Pence will be one of our best witnesses at trial,” Trump atty Lauro told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “I read his book very carefully, and if he testifies consistent with his book, then President Trump will be acquitted.”
<><>“Number one: Mr. Pence recognizes that John Eastman, who was giving legal advice, was a renowned legal scholar,.”
<><>“Number two: Vice President Pence recognized that there were discrepancies and fraud in connection with the Biden election win. He wanted it to be debated on Capitol Hill; Mr. Trump wanted it to be debated in the state legislatures.”
<><>”when Pence testifies, Biden’s [weaponized] government will not be able to prove ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ that President Trump had corrupt or criminal intent.”
“I cannot wait until I have the opportunity to cross-examine Mr. Pence, because he will completely eliminate any doubt that President Trump firmly believed that election irregularities had led to inappropriate results,” Lauro continued.
There is no way in he!! I’d every vote for Mike Pence.
Human nature being what it is, I do not expect Pence to be at all supportive of Trump.
Pence is a disgrace to Indiana. Just ask General Flynn what he thinks about Mr. Pence.
Good to see Trump’s lawyer playing head games with the enemy.
so why don’t they just put him on the witness list and push comes to shove, treat him as a hostile witness?
So Trump’s lawyer thinks Pence will be their star witness.
OK, then.
Good luck with that plan.
“I know we all have got our doubts about the last election. I want to assure you that I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting irregularities. I promise you, come this Wednesday, we will have our day in Congress! We'll hear the objections. We'll hear the evidence.”
— Pence, 01/04/2021
This quote by Pence proves that President Trump had a "reasonable" belief that he won the election.
If Pence says that "we all have got our doubts about the last election" and that "I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting irregularities" just two days before the January 6 rally, then prosecutors can't say that Trump either knew he lost or knew he was making false statements about winning.
Even Trump's Vice President was publicly expressing "doubts about the last election" and mentioned "concerns of millions of Americans." There is no way that prosecutors can single out President Trump after this, though they will try.

Pence is such a pompous ass. Looking at him makes me sick.
