As further evidence of his seditious guilt, the Malignant Loser's attorneys have filed suit in Federal appeals court to limit the testimony of his former VP Mike "Fly Guy" Pence before the January 6 Federal grand jury. From the linked New York Times piece:
"The request to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to reverse a lower court’s decision ordering Mr. Pence to testify was the latest attempt by Mr. Trump’s legal team to keep witnesses close to him from divulging information to prosecutors in the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith.
Mr. Pence has always been a potentially important witness in the election inquiry into Mr. Trump because of the conversations he took part in at the White House in the weeks preceding the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. During that time, Mr. Trump repeatedly pressed him to use his ceremonial role overseeing the congressional count of Electoral College votes to block or delay certification of his defeat."
The Malignant Loser regarded Pence as his means to overturn the actual electoral votes by illegally sending certain ones back to states controlled by Republican legislatures, where a false slate would be substituted. Pence was party to numerous conversations with the Malignant Loser about that scheme involving corrupt radical Republican state legislators in several states.
In this appeal as in previous ones, the Malignant Loser is citing "executive privilege" to limit Pence's testimony, a theory that has failed thus far:
"Mr. Trump’s team based its arguments on the concept of executive privilege, which protects certain communications between the president and some members of his administration. [snip]
Since last summer, Mr. Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly — and unsuccessfully — asked judges to keep information from the grand jury by asserting both executive privilege and attorney-client privilege for an array of witnesses. The witnesses have included some of Mr. Pence’s chief aides, two of the top lawyers in the White House and advisers to Mr. Trump like Mark Meadows, his former chief of staff."
His efforts to evade prosecution by suppressing adverse testimony won't work. He was orchestrating a seditious coup in plain sight, which turned violent after the electoral scheme failed, and he'll have to answer for it as is his January 6 insurrectionist mob.
