If Pence answers the questions instead of pleading the 5th Trump could be in big trouble.

[handmadehearts]

The Grifting Oligarch Party must be held accountable. Freedom lies in the balance.

[fuzzybuzzwords]

Mike Pence knows that there is nothing stopping what's coming for Donald.

[matclairoux]

He's not crying like Lindsay, he's not waiting for an imaginary pardon.

[Blakblooded]

Why would he appeal? He did his due diligence and argued enough to keep up appearances, but yah know he kind of wants to testify against the guy who tried to get him hanged.

[RichardQuaid]

The writing is on the wall. The trump train is out of steam!

[junito]

Of course Pence wont appeal he knows what’s coming!!!

[elloowu]

First question "Mr pence, why did you refuse to get into the vehicle with your secret service on the day of January 6th?"

[AllieSheffield]

We know judge will order him to testify, so he is saving money and time.

[EternityUnknown]

I can't imagine a harder job than being an advisor for Donald Trump.

[danieljames]

Time to man up Pence and tell the truth with honor and courage! 👍

[CryptoAtlas]

Of course Trump is going to appeal this ruling...
Delay. Delay. Delay.
It's page 1 of his playbook.

[half-breed]

I have never seen a christian that was so scared to put his hand on the bible and swear to tell the truth🥺

[Bix-zf]

The train is rolling ! Pence has got on.

[josh]

At this point Pence has to know testifying is inevitable. Special Counsel Jack Smith isn't playing games like the Florida judge.

[aubrey]

That's the investigation I want to see him taken down for. The NY case will most likely be just a fine. The DC and GA cases will both have a long prison sentence.

[Letsgetafterit]

The bottom line us Pense has enough dirt / knowledge that will put trump away fir the rest of his life

[redalert]

Why would he when he will come under no real pressure to actually testify even if he eventually turns up in court?

[ronaldturner]

Maybe Mother talked him into it. Headline: "Pences come to their senses!"

[ruthdepew]

Congratulations, Mikey you're gonna be a patriot for the second time in less than three years. I just counting the months.
