Conditions for Mike Pence grand jury testimony reveals HIS own complicity on January 6, 2021 | Posted April 28, 2023

On January 6, 2021 Vice President Mike Pence knew in advance that his duty during the electoral count process was more than just ceremonial, and why the 1887 law was later amended. By his own admission, two days earlier he told Trump supporters one thing, while revealing the exact opposite on his way to the capital that say.

Mike Pence on January 6, 2021

D.C. District Judge James “Jeb” Boasberg ruled that at Mike Pence's appearance before a grand jury yesterday, he could testify about his first-person account about certain conversations and events in the weeks preceding [as Jill Colvin and Eric Tucker reports for the AP in the link below] "the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol", but that he could not be forced to answer questions about anything related to his role as presiding over the Senate’s certification of votes on Jan. 6. Prior to his testimony Pence told 60 Minutes that he would tell "the story that I wrote in the pages of my memoir, that’ll be the story I tell in that setting.” This comes as Pence has been inching closer to announcing a run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination — a decision that would put him in direct competition with his former boss.

In a follow up story for the AP, Eric Tucker reports: "Pence, as vice president, had a ceremonial role overseeing Congress’ counting of the Electoral College vote but did not have the power to affect the results, despite Trump’s contention otherwise." Mike Pence's lawyers argued that because Pence was serving in his capacity as president of the Senate as electoral votes were being counted in Congress on Jan. 6, he was protected from being forced to testify about that process under the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause, which is intended to protect members of Congress from being questioned about official legislative acts. A judge agreed with that argument, effectively narrowing the scope of Pence's testimony. (And the reason for this is in these two short videos below which shows collusion by Mike Pence in the rigged election.)

After January 6, the Democrats and anti-Trump RINOs wanted to change Electoral Count Act of 1887 (which they later did), because LEGALLY Mike Pence COULD have done something, it wasn't just ceremonial, and those Democrats and RINOs wanted to close that door to keep from any future objections to a rigged election (as several House Democrats had tried to object to with Gore and Bush, but didn't have a Senator to sponsor them).

Two days before January 6, 2021 Mike Pence publicly said he also had doubts about the 2020 election and voting irregularities, and said, "I promise you, we'll have our day in Congress, we'll hear the objection, we'll hear the evidence." But two days later on his way to the Capital on January 6 he told his daughter, "God bless those people, they're going to be so disappointed." Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) rose to object just after President Trump had finished his speech at 1:11 pm at the rally at the Ellipse "to march to the capital to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." https://rumble.com/v2726u0-pompous-pences-betrayal-and-donald-trumps-forgiveness-january-24-2023.html

  1. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) should open his own January 6 commission to get to the REAL facts on what happened that day . . . so it can't happen again.
