Mike Pence has sudden change of heart over Trump classified documents: ‘I can’t defend it’

[onthedarkside]

 

Mike Pence appears to have had a sudden change of heart over his thoughts on Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents.

 

After arguing that bringing federal criminal charges against the former president would send a “terrible message to the world” last week, the former vice president has now said that he “can’t defend” his ex-boss’s alleged actions laid out in the indictment.

 

“Having read the indictment, these are very serious allegations,” Mr Pence told The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board on Tuesday.

Pence isn't the only one that's having the change of heart. Look at Nikki Haley and a few others who are now speaking out against Trump.  It is only a matter of time before more wise up.  However, standby for Trump to throw everyone under the bus in order to shield himself.  

 

Pence's statement is telling it like it truly is.:

 

“Having read the indictment, these are very serious allegations,” Mr Pence told The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board on Tuesday.

 

“And I can’t defend what is alleged.”

 

Mr Pence later added that, as a member of a military family, he was concerned about the risks to the lives of American service members when secret information is not handled correctly.

It's more significant than it seems. These people have legal advisors. They would be more cautious if their advisors hadn't told them that Trump is very likely going to be convicted.

I mentioned it in another thread about the indictment but it really looks like for the first time a lot of supporters are turning away from Trump after seeing the indictment. Even his own lawyers did it. Then he tried to get a few high profile law firms on bord and collected a bunch of declines. A lot of his supporters are on the right of the political spectrum and when it comes to putting the nation at risk they also can agree that's a no-no.

Yet there are a few, who even post here, that are in total denial. Making claims that u Der the PRA he could have the documents he had and can show them to whomever he likes.  To think this way means they have been fooled completely by the snake salesman, just like in the old days when they would claiming the elixir would cure all ills...

 

These folks believe Trump walks on water. Well I am sure he will still be stoking the flames from below after he departs this earth

Well Trump did once say, "I could shoot somebody and I still wouldn't lose any voters"

 

How right he is.

Mike Pence judging wind direction hourly, and with 'Mother's' approval, barely dinging trump.

 

This putz had months to stifle the delegitimization of the 2020 election, and only grew a pair at the last moment. He could have broken with trump shortly after the election, and all but guaranteed a decent shot at the POTUS in 2024, but no, he sniveled his way right up until Jan. 6. And even after that he was trump's stooge. He's weak, unprincipled and easily manipulated, that's why Manafort chose him.
