Trump was privately pressing Pence to reject certain votes at the Jan. 6 proceedings and block certification of the election -- and Trump even suggested to Pence that perhaps he should skip the session altogether, Pence allegedly told Smith's team. But, according to sources, Pence told investigators that he "clearly and repeatedly" emphasized to Trump that rejecting certain votes would violate the Constitution.
"I told him I thought there was no idea more un-American than the idea that any one person could decide what electoral votes to count," Pence allegedly told Smith's team, echoing what he has said before in his book and other public forums. "I made it very plain to him that it was inconsistent with our history and tradition."
Pence insisted that in America, under the Constitution establishing three co-equal branches of government, election disputes are resolved by courts and elected lawmakers, sources said.
But, the sources said, with the pressure on Pence mounting, he concluded on Christmas Eve -- just for a moment -- that he would follow Trump's suggestion and let someone else preside over the proceedings on Jan. 6, writing in his notes that doing otherwise would be "too hurtful to my friend."
"Not feeling like I should attend electoral count," Pence wrote in his notes in late December. "Too many questions, too many doubts, too hurtful to my friend. Therefore I'm not going to participate in certification of election."
Then, sitting across the table from his son, a Marine, while on vacation in Colorado, his son said to him, "Dad, you took the same oath I took" -- it was "an oath to support and defend the Constitution," Pence recalled to Smith's investigators, sources said.
That's when Pence decided he would be at the Capitol on Jan. 6 after all

Pence has to say crap like this....HE HAS A BOOK TO SELL.
I was wondering about his recent statements about :
he hesitated about confirming the election”
What a balless jerk
Well, Pence, the closet homosexual, is an idiot.
He squished like a rotten tomato. True to form.

DAMN STRAIGHT!!
Mike couldn’t fathom what was taking place, even with all
the evidence in the world to point to. In his mind all
that stuff was happening, but that didn’t point to any
irregularities. There was no worry. It was just another
election like any other.
Isn’t this just the guy you want in a foxhole beside you?
Bullets whizzing by just above your head, but good old
Mike assures you it must be anything but hostile fire.
Pence simply does not have the stones to grasp what took
place, even to this day.
He’s certain he was given the right to certify elections,
but that didn’t mean he was only to certify if he was
certain that no malfeasance took place.
It’s baffling to try and imagine what ‘certification’
meant to Pence, if it didn’t mean declaring the election
above reproach.
Imagine that 3:00 am call, and Pence declares all those
bogies from Russia and China to be flocks of geese.
“Hey, to see those bogies as an attack would be
unConstitutional”
ABC is lied. Such #FakeNews
Woah 😳
Thanks for posting that.
Big load of fake news.
REFERENCE-—Section 702 is a key provision of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 that permits the government to conduct targeted surveillance of foreign persons located outside the United States, with the compelled assistance of electronic communication service providers, to acquire foreign intelligence information.
call Congress NOW
MESSAGE-—DO NOT renew 702. Let it expire December 31st, PERIOD. It expires if they do nothing, which is exactly what they need to do.
702 is the most abused section of The Patriot Act (*spit*), allowing the secret spy court (FISA) to allow unlimited spying on anyone the DOJ (FBI) wants without telling anyone. They created giant databases of everything electronic on everyone, and individual agents can go into them and track ex-wives, their neghbors, Presidents (Trump), their families, friends, anyone.
The whole Russia Colusion Hoax was so they could spy on Trump, using 702.
Call them now!
(202) 224-3121
Tell them your state and zip, they’ll connect you.
For crying out loud, can’t Pence just once hold his head straight. That leaning head is so unmanly. He is hind tit material. And his son, too.
Indeed. Pence’s political career is O V E R and he’s looking at sources of income.....books with hype and exaggerations, IMO.
Seems to me Pence is another Barr.
What did Trump see in this guy? He has junped on the liberal stage like he has been there his whole life.
ya ... youre a real fkn hero!... /s
Pence was in position to get rid of trump period, scumbag of history shame on trump for choosing this d##k
Obviously, 30-Pence pulled out this out of his ass. Seriously, how lame can he possibly get?
That first pic ... The only time I’ve ever seen a smile on sourpuss Karen Pence’s face.
It always was interesting to watch her in the presence of Melania. Major stink-eye; the hate and jealousy just oozed out.
