Is this Mike Pence's incredibly weird and indirect way of trying to cooperate with the Jan. 6 probe? (via MaddowBlog)
in The Wall Street Journal on his “last days with Donald Trump.” It included a claim I don’t recall him making before:
According to Pence’s version of events, the outgoing president told him at a Cabinet meeting that the Lincoln Project’s ad “looked bad” for Pence.Evidently, the former vice president was referring to, created by the group of Trump critics. It was a derisive message to the outgoing president, explaining that Pence knew the process was over and the certification of the results on Jan. 6 would prove it.
For one thing, the video includes no such implication. It simply stated as fact that the then-vice president would certify the results. In other words, there’s blame to go around, but pointing the finger at the Lincoln Project doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.It’s not that I object to Pence’s recounting his side of the story. It’s that I’m annoyed that he’s yet another Trump administration official who chose to sell a book months or years later rather than speak out when it matters. .... [I]t’s not like there aren’t several investigations into the attack that would love to hear from Pence about what he saw and heard.
