onthedarkside Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump has asked a federal appeals court to take immediate action to block former Vice President Mike Pence from testifying in the Justice Department’s probe into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Trump filed an appeal earlier this week in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, and on Friday he asked the court to take immediate action. The motion, which is under seal, is for a stay of a lower court judge's ruling requiring Pence to testify and comply with a subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating Trump's role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The Trump inspired mob wanted to hang Pence. And Trump did nothing to stop them. Maybe Pence didn't like that. 6 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should take his former lawyer's advise to his present lawyers and run. He has to remember that he still has friends among the dregs of the planet.

Popular Post RocketDog Posted April 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2023 The former president reminds me of Wiley Coyote, after finding himself beyond the edge of the cliff, windmills his arms and legs in a futile effort to avoid the long fall he knows is surely coming. It's all part of the show. American bought the tickets to this show in 2016, and paid dearly for them. Let us all relish the suspenseful buildup to the inevitable climax; this is only the beginning. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Vice President Mike Pence won't appeal a ruling requiring him to testify before a grand jury as a part of the special counsel investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, a Pence aide confirmed Wednesday. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pence-wont-appeal-over-subpoena-for-his-testimony/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when the Supreme Court ruled against Trump's bid to stop the Jan 6 committee from getting hold of his records? Or the 2 rightwing justices an the panel who joined the liberal judge in shooting down a special master for Mar a Lago. Or the hundreds of other cases where Trump appointed judges have ruled against his interests? Get real. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there still seem to be about 70,000,000 Americans who want to see him again as president. That is the scary part. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His favourability ratings in polls has declined precipitously as you should have noticed in posts here. It seems some people don't see anything except what they want to see. The only thing that will rid the world of MAGA is to let Trump run and lose again. Dems understand this. Republicans fear it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New polling from ABC News and Ipsos shows former president Donald Trump’s favorability ratings collapsing in the aftermath of his April 4 arraignment and indictment the week prior. Breaking down the numbers, which saw a four-point dip to 25% favorability, “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said Tuesday that Trump is “dropping like a rock,” and Willie Geist said the number is so low that he’s “starting to dip into being a fringe political candidate.” https://www.thewrap.com/morning-joe-trump-favorability-polling-msnbc-clip/ 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else but Trump would have been in jail already for quite some time. 4 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good sign. Do realize that it could be within Pence's hands to rid the GOP of this pest: he could be the vanquishing hero or fire up the MAGA lynch mob again. 12 hours ago, Phoenix Rising said: The walls are closing in on defendant trump and the traitor is getting scared.

I maintain there is a good chance he'll go into exile, but probably not this year. The Big Stink is going to be the Jack Smith case, which will probably not be on the calendar until next year, and the Federal indictment may could very well involve restricting travel. And then there is the health issue. Back when he occupied the WH, and reporters were out on the lawn doing their segments, there would ALWAYS be an ambulance in the background. Never saw that before. I haven't noticed that since he left, but maybe there is less excitement in the WH with him gone. This health paranoia would be a deciding factor in where he'll park his carcass, he'll want "the best" medical care. NATO countries won't want him, maybe neutral Switzerland? But if a Federal indictment comes down and he flees the US he'll officially be a criminal on the run. Edited April 15, 2023 by bendejo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA v Nixon already established at the SCOTUS there is no Executive Privilege’ covering actions by the sore side t that are crimes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Nixon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
