“Conflicting Accounts Between Pence and His Advisors

But Short and Jacob told the select committee a much different story. The two aides, along with Chris Hodgson, Pence’s legislative director, headed to Pence’s residence around 8:30 a.m., a few hours earlier than Pence claimed in his book. And contrary to Pence’s portrayal as the sole author of the memo, Short and Jacobs described the statement as “a joint effort.”

Short told committee investigators, “we were finalizing a letter that the Vice President would release publicly later that day. So we were making final tweaks to that together.” He also said the four men reviewed the document on a “laptop,” not on Pence’s desktop computer.

Jacob confirmed Short’s description of the morning of January 6. “When we met up at the residence that morning, we were really just trying to get the statement finalized,” Jacobs told the committee.

Neither man mentioned the story about Pence failing to save the document or how his daughter needed to retype it for him.

Pence also omitted a somewhat consequential piece of the morning’s timeline: an earlier phone call from Trump. Jacob told the committee that a military aide interrupted their meeting around 9:15 a.m. to tell Pence the president was on hold. Pence excused himself to take the call, which according to Jacob, lasted between “15, 20 minutes.”

Pence did not share details of the conversation with his aides. It’s also unclear whether Pence informed the president during the discussion that he was in the process of preparing a statement he would later release to Congress and the public....”

Mike is desperately out of touch with today’s reality.

If the GOPe keeps cretins like 30 Pence in its leadership it is tie to start a new political party.

Like the Capitol cop who killed an unarmed woman - and then called himself a “hero” on television - the heroes are coming out of the woodwork here.

Mr. Pence had a chance to serve the American people and the future of America in a most profound way but decided to serve himself, although how he thought he’d ever be elected president is beyond me. He’s too much of a go-along guy.

Mike McRomBush is a self-righteous pantywaist.

He named his book So Help Me God.

I bet all the consultants just ate that up (if they weren’t the ones recommending it).

Ron DeSantis admitted ... he has “no beef”

See how selective editing can change the message? It's a childish pursuit.

At the same time, I found this little game forcing the candidates to affirm Mike Pence to be extremely childish in its own right.

Pence: “There I was, in the middle of opening envelopes from the various states and reading their electoral votes when I suffered a MASSIVE paper cut. Then I had to personally hold the chamber doors closed as President Trump attempted to break into the room and steal the remaining envelopes while he screamed “I WON THE ELECTION, THOSE ARE FAKE VOTES!!””
