Former Vice President Mike Pence won’t testify before the J6 Committee. He declared that Congress “has no right” to his testimony, despite previously indicating he would consider appearing before the committee.
“I am closing the door on that,” Pence told Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan about testifying before the panel.
“But I must say again, the partisan nature of the January 6 committee has been a disappointment to me,” Pence explained. “It seemed to me in the beginning, there was an opportunity to examine every aspect of what happened on January 6, and to do so more in the spirit of the 9/11 Commission, nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and that was an opportunity lost.”
The J6 Committee broke precedent by being entirely picked by Nancy Pelosi.
“I never stood in the way of senior members of my team cooperating with the committee and testifying,” Pence explained. “But Congress has no right to my testimony. We have a separation of powers under the Constitution of the United States. And I believe it would establish a terrible precedent for the Congress to summon a vice president of the United States to speak about deliberations that took place at the White House.”
The J6 Committee is expected to be dissolved once the GOP majority takes office in January.

Obvious question: why can this slimewad ignore his summons, and it’s apparently OK, but Trump & Co. cannot do the same without being condemned, charged, etc.?
Look at the steel spine on Pence. He is sure standing tough, at least until the media criticizes him, then he will fold like the cheap suit he is.
Can’t have it both ways there, Mikey.
Oh really mike ?
So what about trump ?
Spit.
Hey, Mike, is this you?
The same “ Constitution” that you quote, Mr. Pence, is the one you ignored when refusing to bring into question the 2020 election FRAUD....
You can’t have it both ways!
Because Dems and RINOs do not fear Pence, only Trump. Pence for the most part is a decent guy, but he is still wearing his Indiana governor’s hat and tries to keep the peace. Unfortunately, we are at war with The Left and Pence is Trump’s Neville Chamberlain.
I imagine a lot of Republicans will suddenly grow a pair and feel comfortable defying Congress now that the GOP controls the House.
Pence is a dunce.
The J6 committee was never bipartisan. It was a partisan hit-job from the very beginning.
The J6 committee should never have happened.
Oh, so Pence just discovered that the J6 committee is partisan. Forget his motives for a moment and focus on his decision making process. It’s taken him how long to think this? He lives in the establishment world. He is establishment. Pence cannot immediately recognize reality. Exactly, how can he make quick decisions as pResident? He can’t. He’s not qualified. Period.
I guess Pence is going to be arrested and sentenced to prison time like Bannon. Poor guy. /s
I wish this f-in traitor would disappear. He’s getting a lot of airtime lately.
Testimony isn’t what the bastards want. They want you to say something they can paint as “PERJURY”. That’s all these “investigations” are all about. It’s better to do what the RATS do. Take the Fifth, standup and get the hell out of that RAThole On the Hill.
Bust this fake idiot’s door in and nail him with the 6:00am treatment
What are the odds of certiorari?
It shouldn't be dissolved, but expanded, and real hearings conducted. They need to get to the bottom of the murder of Ashli Babbitt and grill Ray Epps.
