Pence won’t appeal judge’s order to testify in Jan. 6 probe
Former Vice President Pence will not appeal a ruling requiring him to testify in front of a grand jury about the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol, aides said Tuesday.
A federal judge last week ruled that Pence had to provide testimony about former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, though the judge said Pence would not be compelled to testify about his role in Congress.
Pence’s team had argued he was protected under the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause in his role as president of the Senate during the events of Jan. 6.
“The Court’s landmark and historic ruling affirmed for the first time in history that the Speech or Debate Clause extends to the Vice President of the United States,” Pence aide Devin O’Malley said in a statement. “Having vindicated that principle of the Constitution, Vice President Pence will not appeal the Judge’s ruling and will comply with the subpoena as required by law.”
Special counsel Jack Smith earlier this year subpoenaed Pence for testimony as part of his investigation into Trump’s conduct around the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Pence and his team had argued that serving as the former president of the Senate essentially made him a member of the legislative branch on the day of the riots, and he would therefore be shielded from the subpoena under the “speech and debate” clause of the Constitution.
While Pence’s team felt the judge’s ruling last week was too narrowly applied, the former vice president had been clear he was challenging the subpoena on constitutional grounds.
The ruling will allow Pence to testify about some of Trump’s conduct leading up to Jan. 6 without having to divulge details about what happened on the actual day. His testimony could happen sometime in the next month, though the exact timing is still to be determined.
Pence, who is weighing whether to challenge Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, could be a crucial witness for Smith as he gathers information about Trump’s actions around Jan. 6.
The former vice president in his memoir detailed some of the conversations he had with Trump in the weeks leading up to that day, writing about how the former president repeatedly pressured him to consider rejecting the 2020 election results. Pence ultimately certified the results, saying that the constitution did not give him the unilateral power to overturn the will of the people.
The judge’s ruling about Pence’s testimony is separate from an effort by Trump to shield Pence from testifying on executive privilege grounds. A federal judge late last month rejected those privilege claims, though Trump and his legal team could still appeal that ruling.
Smith is overseeing two concurrent probes into Trump: One focused on the events of Jan. 6, and the other looking at whether Trump mishandled classified documents upon leaving the White House.

In Canada we have pretty open immigration but recently increased it dramatically about 25% of Canada are foreign born citizens or landed immigrants now. We like most affluent countries where women are emancipated have to import people and Europe don't wanna come and Asia is improving rapidly. Fast food places and a host of businesses are freaking out over the labor shortage and unemployment is low here too, post covid early retirements of baby boomers.

Most of those jobs were lost to automation about a third to automation and a third were shipped overseas and a third displaced by other economic and technological change. Before the parts that went into a car were made mostly in North America Canada/US, but for decades they were coming from China, even things like wiring harnesses and the cars are assembled here, even by GM and ford, supply chains are global for cars and even military arms. No big technological change gave us a global market in most shit, shipping containers did, and they reduced the cost of shipping shit from Chinia next to nothing when shipped by the 10,000 at a time. Before then cargo was hauled out of holds with wenches and cranes, shit got stolen and damaged, ships were docked for a week or more loading and unloading with hundreds of men. Now if it fits in a container, it's good to go anywhere for cheap, even stolen sports cars shipped to the middle east.

I got bored the first year of my retirement and got a part-time job at Walgreens.
I lasted 2 weeks............I have trouble taking orders from young kids that don't know shit.
Plus they wanted me to come in for a meeting at 6:00 AM on my day off without pay.
I took my one and only paycheck and went to Dick's and bought a new driver.

In Hannity interview, defendant Trump admits to obstruction of justice, reveals his motive
51,616 views Apr 5, 2023 #TeamJustice
Under the heading of "you can't make this stuff up," defendant Trump sits for an interview with Fox Entertainment host Sean Hannity. When Hannity suggests to Trump that he never would have told people to bring him the boxes of classified documents that were improperly removed form the White House and unlawfully retained at Mar-a-Lago, Trump fails to grab the lifeline. Instead Trump insists, "I had the right to take stuff." Fact check - he didn't have the right to take government documents. This is, in substance an admission that Trump obstructed justice. But in a staggering display of stupidity, Trump THEN goes on to reveal the motive behind his crime: "Did you know they ended up paying Richard Nixon $18 million for what he had?" Trump made it crystal clear - he held classified documents hostage for financial gain.
All that's left now, is for Trump to be indicted federally for his crimes.
