Finally, President Donald Trump chose to lob a verbal grenade in the general direction of his old VP Mike Pence last Sunday night — regarding Pence’s ability to formally contest the results of the stolen 2020 election. This was, for many Trump supporters, long overdue. Here is Trump’s statement on the matter: (snip)The reason that Mike Pence did not exercise the power to lawfully contest the election is because Mike Pence was never a Trump loyalist. He’s a GOP establishment loyalist. There were plenty of problems inside the Trump Administration, and Vice President Mike Pence was at the center of many of those problems. In fact,

A million thanks to Don Surber for recommending this article. The information in it on Pence’s perfidious attempts to remove Trump and the use of his staff to actively participate is all laid our here. It will knock your socks off. I begins with the firing of Mike Flynn for “lying to” Mike Pence. Do read it. Otherwise your comments will have no meat on their bones...

Thanks for posting OP.
Lots of info. Sadly, many of us trusted him, including the J6 protesters, now prisoners. A pox on this "religious" man. Judas and his 30 pieces of silver in exchange for the country.

I tend to give VP Pence a bit of a pass on these events. No court allowed the legitimate concerns about the 2020 election to be heard. I realize proving much of the treachery would be harder, but the opportunity never was given. By January 6, there wasn't much left to do outside of a coup, which obviously DID NOT happen or WAS NOT attempted that day.
Our RINO Establishment Republicans are willing to go along and play along to get their filthy lucre. Maybe Pence is a part of that group. But I'm not sure I would have done much differently that day either.

May I ever so gently call BS on #4's comment? Pence knew EXACTLY what he was doing, who he was installing on his staff, and ... WHO HE WAS AFTER.
His actions speak volumes as to his true character.

I haven’t trusted Pence since he was governor of Indiana and “unsigned” a freedom of religion bill which he had signed into law when the LGBT crowd came after him. The bill would have made it legal for Christians to refuse to participate in things like homosexual weddings by baking cakes, photographing, providing a venue and making flower arrangements, etc.

Trump didn't pick Pence as his running mate. The RNC did. That was the deal Trump had to make to get their backing. Pence was their ace in the hole.

On Jan 6, Pence WAS working the "Plan" there were 95 congressman and several senators that were just beginning to individually oppose the delivered elector panels from numerous states, the 1st panel had already been rejected and sent to a joint committee with the senate...EXACTLY...as the Law Requires. (Democrats set the standard by doing the same thing before accepting James K Polks electors, though in that instance they did it to get some trade offs, one of which was withdrawing all reconstruction troops from the south, and rolling back voting rights there, which led to unseating many Repubs from the south in the next election. returning all Negro Repub seats to racist, white, democrat hands for another generation)
All in all there were 19 objections that were going to be made/heard/decided,(IIRC) some would have been returned to the various state legislatures(some of whom, key swing states, had already ASKED for them back)
The problem is...after the capitol was cleared and congresscritters re assembled...the number of house and senate "Objectors" doing it bailed on the process and voted to accept the elector slates as is. On voice vote/acclamation.
"Mooting" the entire process, de facto, as well as in the courts.

I've never understood why Trump and Pence didn't hash this out well before J6. Trump seemed surprised that day. He should have known that morning what was going to unfold.

Further re #12, I imagine President Trump would have expected the VP to follow the law rather than deny it existed.

FTA: "The reason that Mike Pence did not exercise the power to lawfully contest the election is because Mike Pence was never a Trump loyalist. He’s a GOP establishment loyalist."
I guess its a quaint, out-of-date notion to expect our top government executives to be Constitution loyalists.

The question is: What has Trump learned for this and the many other personnel decisions that meant traitors were on the inside? There is no point electing him again if he is going to leave the administration for of traitor "resisters" in place.

The government is controlled by the entrenched bureaucracy and big money interests and the players change very little from one Administration to the next. Individual politicians have very little influence.

Might I remind all of you who believe Trump should have picked better personnel, he was an outsider. He had to rely on help from others to recommend people for the massive amount of positions that were required to be filled. It was easy for the GOPe/RNC to slip in their people in positions and they did so wherever possible. If you recall, we the people elected Donald Trump without a whole lot of support from the RNC or the movers and shakers in the party. Truth be told, most of them did not want Trump and we’re overwhelmed when he connected with the people, but I don’t believe they ever thought he would win. Nevertheless, we now find out that Pence’s office was a treasure trove of anti-Trumpers actively working against the President. Who hired them? Right, Mike Pence.
Also, Trump did hire good people. First of all, Mike Flynn was an excellent choice, but Mike Pence decided he had to go. Actually, I was shocked when Pence came out with the accusation against Flynn, but who is going to question the “ultra religious”, Pence? At the time I thought it was odd. Now, it makes perfect sense. The people ready and waiting to undermine President Trump had plenty of time to do their worst between November and his inauguration in January and they were quite busy.
Pence has a lot to answer for and I hope and pray that his every single betrayal will come to light so he will be exposed for the liar, schemer, and traitorous hypocrite he is.
By the way, if Pence would have honored the states who requested their electors be returned because of the anomalies they knew had affected the outcome of the election, there is a good chance the country would not be circling the drain right now. Pence hid behind a false narrative by contending he did not have the power to overturn an election. No one was asking him to do that. He was being asked to POSTPONE the certification in order that the states, who requested the extra time, could investigate the myriad of evidence that was coming out that proved there were serious problems with the validity of the count. Pence’s pious refusal on the grounds he did not have that power was an abject lie. He knew it and worst of all, every Republican who voted for those electors to be confirmed also knew it. Pence’s lack of courage and integrity gave us the worst President in modern history, maybe the worst President ever. When the country desperately needed men and women of integrity to step up, they did not. They were cowed by the democrats and insane media. That lack of courage mocks the sacrifice of every patriot from the American Revolution to this present day. Shame on them.

Trump’s statement might make sense to people who know nothing about our system of government. Congress, state legislatures, county and local governments all are constantly putting into law existing constitutional principles. So, no. That congress is working on a law to codify in statute what the constitution says (that the Vice President can’t “change the outcome” of the election) does not mean he did have the power to “change the outcome.” That’s just dumb. If there is an objection to a state’s slate from both houses of congress, the Veep sends it back to that state’s delegation. That’s exactly what Pence did. Here is another thing, I have heard for over two years, “no one is saying Pence should have changed the election’s outcome. Only that he not certify those state’s electors and make those state’s legislators fix it.” Yet here is Trump himself saying Pence had the power to “change the outcome.” (Oh sugar! What sort of stupidity am I dealing with here?!)

The DC swamp is VERY deep and Trump had barely scratched the surface. The "fix" was already in using the excuse of the pandemic to allow for mass cheating with ballots that could never be matched to registered voters. Unfortunately that worked so well we can expect it to continue and Republicans will never take several states. Liberals are quite crafty at manipulating language as they continue to rant about "democracy"? George Orwell's prophetic novels are in full swing. Take another read of "1984" and "Animal House."

Pence has always given me the heebie jeebies.
If I didn’t know who he was and someone showed me a picture and to guess what he wa, I’d say “furniture salesman.”
Or that preacher you don’t leave alone with your boys.

I judge a person by their actions/deeds - not their words and not how many times they go to church. Pence's actions says it all.
Sean Speicer is at CPAC this week and was on interviewed by local talk radio here in DC/MD/VA and he talked about DeSantis and why he wasn't at CPAC. Interesting and I won't try to paraphrase what Speicer said but go to the WMAL.com website and then the Larry O'Connor show podcast and hear for yourself what he said. The podcast usually posts later today or tomorrow. I will say that one thing Speicer mentioned was the importance of the R big money donors and DeSantis - that's what politics is all about these days: big money donors to both parties - not us We the People and what we want and is best for the country.

He has certainly earned the name, Judas Pence. A person is certainly entitled to his opinions and many people besides him had a less than stellar opinion of Donald Trump but why accept the position of Vice President if you did not support the man and his policies? We all thought that Pence should have protested an obviously stolen election but he kept his weasel mouth shut. The election process was illegal in at least six states so how is it not legal to protest it? It's because he did not want to stand up for what was right. Pence has paid the ultimate price of ending his political career but he also hurt Donald Trump and saddled us with Joe Biden.
I have found one thing to be true in my varied experiences, when a person constantly cites their faith in God and uses it to justify their personal conduct, they are usually lying and they are usually not as good and above reproach as they would like you to believe. Pelosi and Biden are prime examples but there are many others who commit this blasphemy almost daily; devout Catholics they are not. Some of the most famous preachers and mega-church hucksters are guilty of this practice. Pence is a poseur and an evil man for undermining Trump. FMP MAGA

Pence, hiding in the closet with wife and daughter during J6, afraid for his life. Is wife and daughter another office perk for DC employees, Mr. Pence? I would like to express by no appreciation for your not doing your job, and for all the Rino appointments you recommended to Trump, all of whom failed, and miserably. Apparently, they were just like you, Pence.

Mike Pence was put in charge of the administration’s Covid Task Force, but has never been held accountable for its utter failure. Why does his name never come up when we talk about the absurdities of mask mandates, mandatory Covid shots, school closings, etc.? He’s such a weasel.

I believe that it was only by the prayers of millions of Americans for President Trump that Pence and the Left did not get their wish of destroying President Trump. It is a miracle that that man is still standing today, alive, alert and undefeated.
Prayer moves mountains!
Thank you #21 for an excellent summary of what President Trump faced as an outsider in Washington D.C. He now has a graduate degree in a class in politics. We could call him Dr. Trump for what he has learned and knows now!

Americans need to remember the emails released by Julian Assange during the few weeks before the election of 2016. The emails most important were between Paul Ryan and Mike Pence and they were plotting how to remove Donald Trump at the last minute and replace him with Mike Pence. Since that day I read the emails I never liked Mike Pence. It also causes me to believe the rumors of Mike Pence's involvement in child sex abuse. "Christian" my azz.

Ever since I found evidence that Mike's wife, Karen, used to hook up Mike with the required horno babes to keep him smiling with, i.e., horny females that she was ok sharing him with, I never looked back and never had a moment of admiration for this immoral establishment clone who claims to be the one on the straighten and narrow.
Don't kid yourselves folks. Mike is NOT as pure as the driven snow as he wants you to believe he is.
