Pence Counsel Report: Trump Attorney Eastman Blamed VP for Jan. 6 Violence
Newsmax ^ | Oct 30 | By Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 10/30/2021 6:24:45 PM PDT by RandFan

While Mike Pence was hiding in a secure area of the Capitol on Jan. 6 as protesters were calling for him to be hanged, an attorney for President Donald Trump argued via email with a key aide of Pence's that his boss had caused the violence himself.

"The 'siege' is because YOU and your boss did not do what was necessary to allow this to be aired in a public way so that the American people can see for themselves what happened," the attorney, John C. Eastman, wrote to Pence chief counsel Greg Jacob, reports The Washington Post Saturday, after obtaining a draft report Jacob wrote about that day.

Jacob, who had described the violence in the email as a "siege," included the exchange in a draft article about Trump's outside legal team in January. He later chose not to publish the report, but The Post, which obtained a copy of it, notes that Jacob said he was shocked by Eastman's actions.

By sending the email while Pence was in hiding, Jacob wrote, Eastman "displayed a shocking lack of awareness of how those practical implications were playing out in real time."

The article, along with Eastman's emails and his other actions show that the attorney's attempts to convince Pence to block his boss' defeat had been even more extensive than previously reported.

I do. My response may be unfounded and he may have been following the Constitution, but I just consider him a traitor. Intuition, I guess.

Pence is a weak deep state Swamper that sees his value as delivering for Perma Deep State.

Weak sister from the Senate that breeds corrupt, selfish bureaucrats.

Pence, in the end, turned out to be just another Pathetic Republican Politician. A breed of Politician as responsible for the Decline of our country as any democrat. There is no fight in them. They talk a good talk leading up to an election but, when push comes to shove, they are universally useless, gutless, assistant democrats.
They despise Donald Trump because he single-handedly through his MAGA agenda exposes them ALL for the FRAUDS they truly are.

Pence can’t possibly the Christian he pretends to be given his political duplicity and the way he marginalized Trump. If he didn’t want to be on the ticket a second term he could have asked Trump and GOP to replace himself. Even in Korea the Christians feel Pence is not the Christian he always hyped himself to be.
