Marc Short, the former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence and an early member of his 2024 presidential campaign in-waiting, warned the Secret Service that former President Donald Trump was about to publicly attack his boss the day before the January 6 insurrection.

The new reporting from The New York Times — part of Maggie Haberman's upcoming book "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America" — describes Short as unsure of the specific nature of the threat. But Short was concerned that Trump's efforts to pressure Pence into halting the official certification of election results could pose a security threat to Pence, multiple sources involved told Haberman.

“..Many conservatives seem to love Pence...”

Not this conservative.
Pence got his 30 pieces of sliver from the UniParty for his betrayal. He’s a lying POS, a fake. He can go ESAD.

Donald Trump was going to publicly attack his boss? With does that mean? It doesn’t even make sense to write that. Who is attacking who? Who is boss? What? Who writes this drivel?

One of many reasons Conservative Inc. is deader than a doornail.

Pence’s Chief of Staff is Marc Short, a Never-Trumper who hired only Never-Trumpers for Pence’s office.

Short was pushing for Trump’s impeachment hoping Pence would ascend.

He’s total scum, and a look into his background reveals a mediocre incompetent who was familiar with the Swamp.

The WHOLE first paragraph was unnecessary...

Short also wrote the Jan 6 letter that Pence released that morning. The letter was a complete lie.

In DC everyone attacks everyone with talk. What was Pence worried about. Getting hit by a golf cart?

I am telling ya, Pence is a weasel and his wife is head weasel.
