Trump is facing a possible third indictment for his actions during and after the 2020 election that led to the riot at the United States Capitol.
However, Pence, a current GOP presidential candidate, said that while he believes Trump asking him to overturn the 2020 election results was reckless, "based on what I know, I'm not yet convinced that they were criminal." "Let me be very clear: Donald Trump was wrong that day, and he's still wrong asserting that I had the right to overturn the election," Pence said. "But what his intentions were — and as you know, criminal charges have everything to do with intent,

Many people say Trump tried to ‘overturn’ the election. Is this true, or was Pence’s job to refer certain election areas for further review? Or was it somewhere in between.

#1, FWIW, the law that allowed the Vice President to slow the certification of electors for further review in case of conflicting state results—the ones that the GOPe and the dems have repeatedly told us never existed—was quickly and quietly changed by Congress in early 2021. Just sayin’…

Pencester, how about just focus on earning your one percent support in Iowa and in New Hampshire.

The election in Georgia was approved with two illegally appointed electors. They had been appointed past the date allowable so they were not legally able to vote. They did. Mike Pence, as Vice President, had the power to throw out the election results in Georgia because of this. He refused. He stabbed Trump in the back and did not do his job. Does he really think anyone is listening to him?

Pence is trying to buy a few "leaners" who haven't seen enough to convince them someone else might have the testicular fortitude to clean house on day One.
In his first term, he was a businessman with a lot of savvy. NOW, he is a businessman who has gone through trial fire two dozen times.
I want the candidate who has shown me growth and courage.
I only see one such candidate... and it ain't Pence.

Pence, you are a stinkin' liar. And, Trump's future can't be decided at the ballot box because of fraud, neither can yours. But, where there is no fraud (ahem, Republican primaries), your sorry future will be decided without question, and you will fail, you traitor! We will be very clear.

Pence you had the authority and responsibility to slow things down and check to see if the voters were defrauded. No one was Asking you to overturn an election - simply to do due diligence.
You were an effing coward and a useful idiot. You have proved you don't have the spirit or intelligence to be President.

Mike Pence is digging himself a very big hole. He will eventually be confronted by Trump about this. Pres Trump NEVER asked him to overturn an election and Pence knows this. Trump wanted him to ask for election review of certain areas of the country. His dishonesty is going to get him in a lot of trouble.

I have no use for this man. I am not interested in his viewpoints on ANYTHING, not even the weather !
The first time I saw / heard him, he struck me has far too nice, soft spoken, no fire, every bit just
'go along to get along', don't make wave or rock the boat, IOW, wallpaper, a pushover.
My opinion hasn't changed. He had his chance and blew it. IMHO, I suspect some $$$ changed hands
or veiled threats whispered or both - just my gut talking and my opinion.

How magnanimous of him! But that ship sailed in 2020, and the most self-serving politicians in both parties are trying to benefit from it. We saw they were willing to lie to influence the election in 2016. And in 2020 nothing changed. More lies, more smears, more attacks.
It makes perfect sense that January 6 became a propaganda tool of the left, whereby busloads of agitators carrying weapons and expensive equipment (funded by whom?) helped promote violence for the cameras, while those in power made sure to deny reinforcements to the Capitol Police for hours after they were requested.
The left's mission was accomplished. Instead of election integrity and the people who ignored the rules becoming the issue, a vast media campaign made President Donald Trump, who ran on putting America First into the "problem." It's so strange that the damage continues unabated, our quality of life has deteriorated, yet those who created the conditions we're now forced to live under, seem to have no fear of being thrown out of office. Does that even make sense?
