“I’m the most transparent president in history.” –Donald ‘No Cameras – Plead the Fifth’ Trump
Wonder why Gump met alone w Vladdy in Helsinki in 2017 before trashing the US intelligence communinty
Donald blocking Pence’s testimony? That’s strange, he has nothing to hide… Well, is he? And about the fifth? Sure that’s a “right”, but that’s for criminals who don’t want to incriminate themselves. If you are proud of your actions then you talk open and freely about it, you don’t want to hide it… So, is Trump hiding something? Something dark? Does he really need the fifth? That’s for criminals.
Maybe he’s talking about everyone seeing the former first lady in her birthday suit.
That’s rich. According to Defendant Trump he’s the victim and he’s not guilty. Why is he trying to block this if he is so innocent.
Covert Narcissists trying to keep power will claim to be “the victim” , although they really know they are manipulating the compassionate person.
How dare he?
Trump has to realise he is NOT IN CHARGE anymore!
He is a has-been, embarrassment and a stain on American political history.
He was always totally unfit for high office.
He must face the consequences for his reckless and damaging actions while in power.
Well, now….. that sounds like the Orang-Utan blobb is scared.
Ofc he would try; hes a criminal
Congress should write it’s own soap opera and call it “As the stomach churns”.
Okay! Or they could call it “Days Of Our Lies”.
Nothing says “I’m innocent” more than constantly attempting to block witnesses from testifying. 😅😅😅 Trump will lose.
If trump is so innocent. Why does he TRY to block vp from testifying? He could own the libs if he is innocent. Oh, wait, a min, if you plead the 5th, you are guilty. 440times later. 😅😅😅 his cult are nut jobs.
If pence wants to speak he can there shouod be no isdyes on that.
Nobody knows more about delay, witness tampering or obstructing justice than Eric’s dad .
It’s FORMER president!
Did he just use the word “silly” to explain a conspiracy to overthrow the United States constitution?
Telly Savalas is a brilliant legal expert! 👍🧠🍭
PENCE: ACHIEVEMEMT, TRUST & LOVE 2023 $$$
Honor, morality, faith and integrity
Are the glue which holds society in place.
Pornography, hate, jealousy and greed
Cause man to be plagued by disgrace.
Night and day we’re informed by headlines
Which seem to give evil added time.
Always at war killing one another
In our world full of violence and crime.
Be thankful for the upright among us
Who desire to obey God’s laws.
Repentant when wrong they change their ways
Serving the rest of us despite our flaws.
Honor, morality, faith and integrity
Are what life’s heroes are made of.
Defending what’s right; confronting what’s wrong
Propelled by achievement, trust and love.

Trump’s place in history is already set in place.
He’ll be remembered as a spoilt, self-serving, lying narcissist…and a coward.
Ya they don,t want the truth to come out that y they are trying to block
Where not dum we know y their trying to block 2t2 make 4 we have all went to school😅😅😅
TRUMP2024 for President
thanks Donald
Are you on crack
Aww, that’s a cry for help.
It’s refreshing when someone is comfortable being a sucker
and to think there are people who want him to be President again.
I know, right? This is what baffles me… that people could be manipulated THAT much THAT easily.
@Miss EllaTrump did say he loved the uneducated and the gullible
@mark williams That’s exactly it. The reason why he loves them is because if people were educated, they would vote for someone else!
Stop with the bs, the judge can compel Mike Pence to go in front of a grand jury, but he can’t force him to testify, as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment, or the right to remain silent.
When you’re a star you can get away with anything, you can grab them by the 😼
Trump needs a brain transplant. His mind is out of WHACK!👍😱😃
Has the Jan 6 choir put out a new song yet
Another Tump apologist – nothing new here to see – move along.
Why oh why would he do that? Does ol’ Donnie have something to hide ? Can’t be ! Donnie is the most honest and least racist person in the country
deserved it, who was that
Hahahaha blocking pence from testifying. That tells me right there Trump is guilty
The jan6 committee said people forcing there way into a building is a insurgency… but not when you are a Democrat and break into a Tennessee building… nobody is above the law I thought?
Or just the maga king gets this?
How many police officers were assaulted in Tennessee
How many people died in the protest in Tennessee
How many people tried to destroy the building
Smeared their feces on the walls
Shattered windows
Tried to hang any representatives?
False equivalency much?
You look ridiculous trying to use words that you obviously don’t understand.
Well at least Trump is trying to protect his lapdog. Oh, that’s right, Trump is only protecting Trump. The USSS should drop Trump’s protection and let the public sort it out.
Of course Pence knows more.
Pets aren’t allowed in prison. So what’s he going do with his toupee/squirrel?
Someone who has done nothing wrong does not block people from coming out to speak the truth.
“Trump was wrong, he jeopardized the lives of my family and others doing their duty. History will judge him negatively when it is written” ~~~Mike Pence.
Something really silly… is that how we’re explaining insurrection these days.
Schedule issues? Sounds more like a show for an interview. Lawless system.
You’re right about a lawless system, trump has been breaking the law for decades.
Just getting Pence’s statement on record holds him more credible to the grand jury.
An innocent man would not go to these lengths to block testimony
Unless they are dealing with one who rides the fence
There once was a man named Trump
Who paid for a three minute hump
He and his crooks
Shuffled the books
Now he’s in an awkward slump
Mike pence or my pants 👖 🤔
When you can’t lynch your former VP, you can at least attempt to block their testimony?? 🤷
Saying something in a book or in a media scrum is not the same as saying the same things under oath. Pence needs to go on the record so the truth can be known.
I’m sure he will
Hello. The panel sounds a bit naive to me.
hahahahahahahahaaaa JAIL!!!!
Oo trump just dug him self deeper
LOCK HIM UP
THERE IS NO WHERE LEFT TO RUN AND HIDE NOW!
#45’s behavior, particularly spending someone’s money to block Pence from testifying, just screams that he is innocent, doesn’t it? #45 knows Pence under oath will put him behind the wall of some federal prison.
I thought Cassidy Hutchinson was the bombshell
Wrong video
If you don’t have any to hide why stop Pence from talking
I can’t wait for the movie on all this in 10 years.
If you didn’t do anything wrong wouldn’t you want your right-hand man to testify?
Trump: “I’m not guilty”
Also Trump: “No Testifying allowed”
To quote the great Michael Rapaport..
“You’re all out of favors, pigdick…”
A book is not under oath.
context of word, stature of man
Brothels must be investigated.
Maybe Pence, for $130,000 hush money, might agree not to testify.
It’s not illegal to lie , until they put you under oath… 😮 Ask any businessman what their greatest fear is….
We know nothing and we will never know anything even if he talks the Government won’t tell us… Secrecy is “National Security” because “We the People” won’t like the real truth, which we already know in our hearts is that our Government is infested with Corruption that can’t be healed from within!!!
Cause nothing says you’re innocent like saying “No one talk to the cops!”
*TO BE FULLY RID OF TRUMP CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH!!!*
This man was laughed at during a world leaders meeting, let’s not forget….
Under Oath
Is Different Than
Whats Written in a Book YES?
Trump…🤣
He has to say it UNDER OATH.
THAT’S the difference.😊
Why ya’ll call it. Blocking pence…. when it a clear. Abstruction of justice 😂😢😮
Why block it ? He will only confirm your innocense?……………….or?
I would really like to know if Pence knew about the plan for “marching” to the capital. Rudy was talking about the planned coup to anyone who would listen. So, he didn’t hear anything about fraud or claimed violation to voting machines. How about noticing all the “new” faces in the oval office with Trump. The meetings in the “war room” with numerous lawmakers, how about that, was he invited? It’s highly unlikely he didn’t know anything. He neglected to inform anyone. I’d like him to answer those questions.
Your getting your stupid prizes for winning at playing stupid games 😂😂😂 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🔒👨🦳🆙️
Ahem . . . there’s what you *KNOW* and then there’s what you can PROVE in a *COURT OF LAW* when the witness is under oath . . . different animal
IF YOUVE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE
TESTIFY TESTIFY TESTIFY
“(Disgraced Donald Jail-Duck TRE45QN) Trump (vainly) attempts to block Pence’s testimony in Jan. 6 investigation” so let’s otherwise “Convince It Forward” with Laus DEO
Why doesn’t anyone point out that PENCE can voluntarily testify about anything he wants to testify about unless it is actually “classified” information ? He could testify about his duties on J6, IF he wanted to… as long as he doesn’t divulge classified info., and Trump can’t stop him. Being ‘REQUIRED” to answer questions — violating the ‘speech or debate clause ‘ —- and doing so voluntarily, because it’s the right thing to do, are two separate things. Pence is making lame excuses to protect himself and/or Donald Trump, and Trump is deliberately sabotaging the justice system, along with the U. S. political and legal system in general.
“Silly”? Really?! 😳😳 That horrified me.
Dumb move.
We all know Mike Pence does not like Trump that’s why they want him there
Obstruction!!! Why isn’t Trumpty Dumpty locked up
A lot of people call Pence spineless. I think he chose to not rail against Trump so as to prevent anyone from claiming he’s something like a hostile witness.
His joke about Buttigige displayed there’s something back there.
Nobody in public office should ever be allowed to invoke the 5th amendment. That would make semi honest people out of all of them . An improvement over fraud lies and treason which is what we have now
What do you think the chances are that Pence never saw all this coming ? Was he completely oblivious to the plot to steal the election. Was he powerless to say anything about it ?
Treason treason treason
Blacrock fire building Paris
https://youtu.be/US_QP5yuYuI
Trump really needs to be locked up. With all he’s trying to do, obviously his guilty.
Fire building Paris blacrock 😂
https://youtu.be/VoXSyRVXjM8
pence can have someone hold his hand when he testifies,so he is not too scared
Where is Georgia and Maralago confidential documents case? Trump should be scare-jan6, confidential docs and election interference are SERIOUS SERIOUS cases!
Get a rope 😂
Words from the horses mouth are ALWAYS BETTER than words in a book who have been whipped into place by editors.
Extremely interesting on trumps behalf too further covering up
They should supoena Mike`s pet fly, it knows everything!!
Knowing how pence is he would stick up for Trump to this day he hasn’t said one negative thing about Trump after it almost cost him his life. He’s weak he would probably play it down.
Trump has now claimed in an interview with *ucker Carlson that people in tie NY courthouse “were CRYING and saying ‘I’m sorry'” upon seeing him getting prosecuted.
😱😱😱
The way I see it, they were merely crying and saying “I’m sorry” because they were sorry that they helped getting such a pompous, over-inflated Bag of Hot Gas into the White House in the first place.
😝😝😝😝😝😝
Not everything is a “bombshell”. Pence testifying under oath is more important than what’s published in a book. These talking heads have bought many a second home and pool over these last years with their bombshell fixation and not doing their jobs.
Donald, Your interview praising Xi, Kim and Putin confirmed that something just isn’t right, with you. I almost feel bad, for the things I’ve said about you. God forgive me. It could have happened during childbirth, or your developmental years. But I think your niece, was spot on about your psychological, state of mind. Hope you get yourself some help, soon. One last thing. After your convictions, instead of federal prison, you may want to give your secret service detail a break, by negotiating with the courts, for the conversion of Mara Logo on your dime and not ours, as a prison, to confine you. All the best.
PENCE & PATRIOTS = 2023 !!
They choose their opportunities
To become strong, not weak
By pulling up their boot straps
They acquire the dreams they seek.
Their personal goals of well-being
Will never stand in the way
Of doing their public duty
No matter what others may say.
Their devotion shall prove contagious
It’s the brilliance of their kind
What you find in most of them
Is great character of mind.
With faith and courage, they must live
For their lives to be complete
With good morals and family life
They’ll triumph, even in defeat.
They are raised to participate
Within their community
With their fellow men and women
They enrich life and liberty.
Despite dismemberment, death and loneliness
Patriots enlist to safeguard our flag.
With honor, faith, purpose and courage
They battle the sadistic that brag.

😉💥Y NOT make accountability great against the one who alledgely sent darksides to his political scapegoats tripple crossed pawnshops politrickster..
😖💥😮💨💥🫨💥O🫠💥Y Not 🤣
There’s literally no information given hear.
Evil genius creates a contagious mental health challenge by manipulative probing and exploiting naturally existing vulnerabilities of a society of free and democratic people. A hero for the People may yet emerge from our faithful fraternal union to set aright the present disorder, Liberty’s adversary, to ensure our safety and dispell the demonic myth.
Pense can’t be trusted ❤
What a shame he can’t just go away and leave us all in peace. He just gets more ridiculous every day p.
The one thing fears the most and can’t handle is the truth. If Trump is innocent, as he says, why is he so afraid of Pence testifying? gee, could it be he is lying? Oh my
Hundreds arrested for January 6, some sentenced, but the mad man who incited it with fraud lies is still not indicted.
Shameful
