The former VP has been subpoenaed by the Special Counsel.
He may have done the right thing on January 6th, but he has not done his duty since that day.
Is he going to join forces with Trump to fight the subpoena or will he finally do what he should have done a long time ago?
There is no reason why he should not come forward and tell what he knows. None.
His political ambitions, nor his love for his Party, are legitimate reasons to withhold information in a criminal investigation.
If he wishes to run for President, then he should be able to step forward for his country.

only because Dan Quayle told him no/Judge Luttig told him no...fast forward: he has since downplayed January 6, refused a sit-down with the J6 committee, self-righteously blasted Biden's mishandling of documents while have his own document dilemma, and he continues to suck to to Trump, the guy who thought a dead Mike Pence would be great for his co-opting the Constitution...Pence is a coward not a hero...he doesn't get a cookie because he did his fucking job..

(4,999 posts)If Pence has criminal information about Trump, which involves Pence, and SC has the evidence to indict Pence, then:
SC could grant immunity to Pence, removing Pence's ability to plead the 5th, and become a witness against Trump while not facing incrimination himself.
I don't know if that is the case, but Pence knows that Trump is the most vindictive, unstable man possibly ever to hold office, and it may be Pence's best strategy to take Trump down and clear a path to the whitehouse for himself.
He'd pickup a boatload of independent votes and never Trump repubs if he did that.

I just gotta wonder, if this lawsuit goes forward, what will Smith do? IF possible, i would like to see him ask the Supreme Court for a speedy ruling! Enough of this BULLSHIT Stalling!
