Pence's Thin Red Line
Mike Pence's presidential ambitions are threatened by a subpoena from the special prosecutor investigating the January 6 Insurrection.
Mike Pence wants to run for president, but he can't afford to alienate the MAGA Republican base that is still loyal to Donald Trump. Pence refused to testify for the January 6 Committee, but he may now be compelled to testify before the DOJ special prosecutor. Can Mike Pence walk the thin red line between the truth and his political ambitions?
Unfit for ANY Office
The House Jan. 6 Committee has made history by referring a former president for criminal prosecution.
Two years to the day of the "will be wild" tweet, the Jan. 6 Committee not only released a summary report compiling damning evidence of Trump's involvement with the infamous Capitol attack, but significantly escalated the 18-month investigation by referring Trump and several of his inner circle (including Giuliani, Meadows, and Eastman) for criminal prosecution.
Phones Don't Lie - Republicans Do.
The thousands of phone records, text messages and emails seized by federal and state investigations has Trump World nervous about criminal prosecution.
Cell phones from Trump's inner circle may provide the hard evidence needed to prosecute Trump. Federal investigators have seized at least 9 cell phones from Trump's inner circle including election denier Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy. The January 6 Committee is expanding their investigation, with thousands of recently recovered Secret Service text messages and communications from the January 6 Insurrection.
A House Divided
As the Jan 6 Committee's investigation ramps up, and fellow House Members are being called for interviews, Trump allies are continuing to refuse to cooperate, with some filing law suits against the Committee.
Scott Perry (R-Pa.), the first sitting House Member called by the Jan 6 Committee, has declined to be interviewed by an "illegitimate" panel. In addition, Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, and Alex Jones, the InfoWars broadcaster, have filed suits against the Committee in order to block subpoenas against them; many top Trump aides and lawyers are also pleading the Fifth, including John Eastman, Roger Stone, and Jeffrey Clark. Meanwhile, Trump announced a Jan 6 anniversary news conference at his resort in Palm Beach.
Trump Allies Quivering in Their Boots
Rep. Kinzinger says the Jan 6 Committee is not ruling out the possibility of issuing subpoenas to other members of Congress.
Last Friday Roger Stone appeared before the Committee but invoked the Fifth Amendment for "fear that Democrats would fabricate perjury charges." Other Trump allies such as William Walker, former commander of the D.C. National Guard, and Dustin Stockton, conservative activist responsible for organizing rallies after the election, are both complying with the Committee through witness testimony and turning over evidence that would have Trump allies "quivering in their boots".
