       2/ Via Emptywheel:And should be (but will not be) an issue in gag proceedings. Millett claimed that none of the public people targeted by Trump might be swayed.Anthony Michael Kreis:The most important takeaway from the ABC News story re: Pence hedging on whether he should preside over the counting of the Electoral College votes on January 6, is that the pressure campaign on Pence to unlawfully and unilaterally upend the election was not entirely ineffective

       4/ Via Joyce Vance:So much for the view that Pence was a principled man who did the right thing on January 6.Jonathan Karl:Pence notes reveal he had initially decided not to preside over electoral count on January 6:“Not feeling like I should attend electoral count. Too many questions, too many doubts, too hurtful to my friend. Therefore I’m not going to participate in certification of election.”

       @GottaLaff OMG, the idea that Pence thought Trump was his friend is just about the most pitiful thing I've ever heard. That is an After-school Special level of pathetic.

       5/ More from Emptywheel:This HIGHLY detailed story comes in the same day that Trump filing accuses Mike Pence of telling a story to Jack Smith in a bid to avoid charges in investigation of mishandling classified records. But note that Pence has detailed notes.
