Schiff: Pence Won’t Testify Before January 6 Committee Because ‘He Doesn’t Want to Alienate the Trump Base’
Breitbart ^ | 11/22/2022 | Jeff Poor

Monday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed former Vice President Mike Pence’s refusal to testify for the soon-to-be-defunct January 6 Committee because he was going to run for president and did not want to “alienate” the so-called Trump base.

“Why do you think he’s wrong when he says Congress has no right to his testimony?” MSNBC host Chris Hayes said.

“Because it’s — you know, at its base, the most basic, it’s not about what Congress has a right to — indeed, we do have a right to his testimony,” Schiff replied. “It’s what is his responsibility to the public and to the country. Former presidents have come and testified before Congress, certainly, a former vice president can.”

“Former presidents have come and testified before Congress, certainly, a former vice president can.”

I can’t recall any president except Lincoln testifying before Congress. Lincoln went in secret before the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War to scotch treason rumors about his wife.

They are in the minority now and need to shut up. We have heard enough from bug-eyed Schiff.

Not yet. They have a few weeks left to do a lot of damage. Expect some nasty parting shots at us.
