I don't know. That's one of the reasons I'd like to know more about it.

There's no reason for him to sit for the committee's 'court of public opinion' made for tv variety show. Though, you may get your wish IF Garland indicts Trump. But of course, the committees fast and loose use of hearsay evidence, their public investigation, etc., may work against you. If that ends up being the case, then you have no one to blame but the committee.
Well, I thought it was a pretty weird statement to make, obvious to the casual observer, so I figured you were just being rhetorical. Of course, what aboutism doesn’t prove she was lying, just that some lie. Until someone refutes it under oath it’s the more credible testimony by far. A statement under oath is far more credible than generic statements not taken under oath, anonymous sources, or silence.

Noted, you have no realization that Trump is very likely corrupt to the core.

BTW, I see that Trump is still at it. Trump is still calling states asking them to decertify the election.

The latest was Wisconsin.
Trump called ‘within the last week’ to overturn Wis. election results, speaker says | July 20, 2022

What is the definition of madness?
They are reviewing 2020 results in TX too
Why when Trump won —likely bcuz Abbott and Paxton are sucking up to Trump

Trump’s actions are nuts yes but they are driven by forces he really can’t control
His malignant narcissistic personality can’t accept a loss, being thwarted, or told “no” so he will always resist accepting the truth of anything which goes against that primal compulsion
And his greed—as long as people will send him money to support this asinine compulsion, he will continue
If he had to pay out of his own pocket and all these lawyers and others involved couldn’t be paid the river of opposition might trickle to a halt
Trump is funding his lifestyle, giving money to his kids and confederates that his duped followers send

Like throwing money down a sewer literally

Greg Jacobs testimony. He was Pence's counsel. You can watch it here. I don't think we're going to hear from Pence.

Not just reporters
But why bother to cite a source you would just demean or choose not to acknowledge as impartial and accurate

Does no good to present facts to Trump supporters
Like explaining the color green to someone whose rods and cones don’t function properly
Or asking a tone deaf person to lead an orchestra

Where have you been that you don't know about these things?

Here's a few examples to get you started, though you probably won't bother to read them..

Would you folks even believe it if someone proved her wrong? doubtful...extremely doubtful.

I never said that I thought he was as pure as the driven snow, or, that he's as dirty as your leaders and your media has tried to portray him to be over the past 7 years. I do believe that most politicians are corrupt, some worse than others, but I don't believe he is among the worst.

Thank you for providing this. A pity that Pence, himself, hasn't said why he didn't leave. Maybe he thought that since they were in a highly secure area that they were safe, that the riot would quickly be quelled and he'd be back to work soon? idk. We will probably never know unless/until he speaks.

The issue is he is unfit to hold the office of the presidency. Not just the criminal implications.
This is apparent unless you are a trump cult member
Lol. Because he wasn’t there… and he told folks to go home and they did peacefully at curfew at 6pm.

Always love the cult member accusations. Where are the meetings, and please be specific?
