The former VP is headed to Montgomery to raise money for Faulkner University this Thursday...just as evidence points to his role overturning the 2020 election becomes clearer.
The Washington Post reports:
"The true contours of this emerge from a New York Times excavation of the role of John Eastman, the lawyer who wrote the Trump coup memo. It outlined how Pence supposedly could exercise unilateral power (that he did not have) over the process to refuse to count President-elect Joe Biden’s electors, throwing the election to Trump.
Buried in that piece is an important revelation: Pence apparently went further than previously known in probing whether he could execute a version of Eastman’s scheme.
The select committee will be fleshing this out, Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the committee, suggested in an interview.
“It’s an important part of the historical record to determine how close Trump actually came to achieving his scheme of getting Pence to declare unilateral power to reject electoral college votes,” Raskin told me."
If Pence follows the regular Faulkner procedure---as he surely will---media restrictions will make sure Pence is not asked any difficult questions...if any questions at all.
It's interesting that in this Trumplandia part of America, he would not have been dis-invited.
