Former Vice President Mike Pence said he would comply with the law if he were compelled to testify in former President Donald Trump’s trial in the 2020 election case.

    He ain’t no angel, like I said the guy is a scumbag. But he could have easily gone along with trump at any time, he chose not to. That seems to be extremely rare for people around trump to do.

    I think you might be right in your last sentence. That’s probably the defining attribute in play.

      as I’ve said elsewhere, Pence didn’t go along with Trump because he’s not insane or an idiot. He knew better and is (and always has been) only in it of himself. It didn’t serve his interests and he has no real interest in helping Trump, and he knew it wouldn’t work and would land him in forever prison. It had nothing to do with doing the right thing.

        Oh I agree with you on that.

        It’s going to be either really interesting if/when he takes the stand, or a complete waste of time.

          I believe it would be a waste of time and all for show. if Smith truly believe he can get anything of value from Pence, he’ll depose him and offer that as evidence.
