After much maneuvering to avoid testifying, both by him and the Malignant Loser, former Vice President Mike "Fly Guy" Pence testified before a Federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. yesterday to testify regarding the Malignant Loser's attempts to overturn the 2020 election and commit election fraud by submitting fraudulent electoral votes. With Pence's testimony, Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation has reached the core of the Malignant Loser's inner circle, and the individual that the Malignant Loser directly pressured to delay or subvert the ceremonial counting of electoral votes on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol:
"Pence’s appearance before a grand jury in Washington scrutinizing the president he once loyally served is a milestone in the Justice Department’s investigation and likely gives prosecutors a key first-person account about certain conversations and events in the weeks preceding the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It also carries significant political implications, coming as Pence hints at entering the 2024 presidential race and a potential run against Trump, the Republican front-runner. [snip]
It was not immediately clear what Pence may have told the grand jury, but he is the most high-profile Trump administration official to be summoned before the panel. Inside the federal building where the grand jury has been meeting, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, security was high because of Trump’s appearance with an unusual amount of activity from U.S. Marshals.
Pence has spoken extensively about Trump’s pressure campaign urging him to reject Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential election victory in the days leading up to Jan. 6, including in his book, “So Help Me God.” Pence, as vice president, had a ceremonial role overseeing Congress’ counting of the Electoral College vote but did not have the power to affect the results, despite Trump’s contention otherwise." (our emphasis)
Even if he claims that he can't remember certain conversations, what testimony he does give will serve to confirm facts already obtained, either through other witnesses or documentation in emails or text messages. It's also satisfying that the Malignant Loser must be nervously awaiting some bits of information about how much Pence opened up to the grand jury. Stay tuned.
