A conservative lawyer who counselled Trump about how to overturn the election result has revealed details of Mike Pence's involvement.John Eastman claims the former VP 'wanted to look at' an idea that Trump liked about adjourning a joint meeting of Congress after lawmakers gathered to count the electoral votes submitted by states.'He asked me point blank: do you think I have that authority,' Eastman said, describing a scenario where Pence would act on his own authority to refuse to accept ballots. 'And I told him point blank, it's an open question, but even if you had, it would be foolish to exercise it,

I have to laugh at all these, twisting and spinning narratives trying to defend the indefensible. Power and authority are there to be used if the situation warrants it.
This situation Warranted it.
Now we are preparing for Civil War, because we know the Democrats will NEVER let go of power, no matter what. If they lose the power, they will lose their party and the country, and possibly destroy the entire Globalist conspiracy. They will be set back to when Stalin and Mao hung back with greedy eyes on the Free World.

Do you think if the situation was reversed a democrat would wonder if they had the authority ? Hell no...they would act and let the courts decide

Pence did have the power to throw out two of the newly appointed electoral college delegates. They were appointed past the date where this could be done. Pence wouldn't have stopped the election, just the count of those newly appointed delegates. He let Trump, and us down. He stabbed Trump in the back. I hope he doesn't think he still has a chance at any political office if Republicans have a say.

I think the author of the headline is trying to smear someone but the headline is so convoluted it's hard to tell. Trying to make sense of the Daily Mail is like trying to pluck a diamond out of an overflowing toilet.

All the state legislators were asking Pence for in their letters was a ten day delay in the formal elector certification to confirm that their state process was in compliance with their own laws. We now know they weren't. Wouldn't it have been better for the country to investigate this first and avoid the installation of an illegitimate President? As Bannon has said, "Pence is a third rate intellect and a first rate coward".

I definitely would not take any advice from John Eastman.

@#4 - The Republican Party does not want the WH in 2024. They don't want Trump or DeSantis anywhere near DC either. Pence would be their guy to be the next Bob Dole/ Mitt Romney candidate to lose.

No guts, no glory.
Pence had and has no guts, no spine, no will to oppose the Deep State.

The former VP has given us one gift: Streamlined language.
Formerly, we used to have to say “all that is necessary for evil ton triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
Now, we only have to say….”Mike Pence”
A whole life in the service of God tossed away by one evil act of omission.
A pox on your house, Mr. Pence.
