Donald Trump expired on January 6, when the obsequious vice president refused to help his aggrieved boss overturn the election.
And now, the ex-VP’s own words may ultimately bring his former boss down.Trump was indicted on four charges Tuesday pertaining to his efforts to retain power after the 2020 election: one count of conspiracy to violate rights, one count of conspiracy to defraud the government, and one count each of obstructing an official proceeding and conspiring to do so.While prosecutors relied on a wide array of resources to make their case, Pence or the office of the vice presidency is referenced more than 100 times in the 45-page indictment.
That’s right, more than 100 times in just 45 pages.According to the document, Pence took “contemporaneous notes” about Trump and his allies’ attempt to subvert the election results.
One of the most damning exchanges outlined occurred on January 1, when Trump eviscerated Pence for opposing his authority. “You’re too honest,” Trump told Pence, according to his notes.
