Marc Short, former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, reportedly testified before the Jan. 6 committee following a subpoena, according to CNN.
“Actually, what [the lawmakers] are saying, is that Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome, and they now want to take that right away. Unfortunately, he didn’t exercise that power, he could have overturned the Election!” Trump ranted.
Hey Kamala - are you writing this down?
Odds are his testimony came up short…
What’s the over / under on number of times he took the Fifth?
Or is the Q-Tip crew seeking revenge for being thrown under the gallows?
Stay tuned!
Posted this on another thread, but, speaking of the J6 Committee … Attention DOJ and MSM: This is illegal. Do not normalize it. Do not bothsider it. Do not let it go un-investigated or un-indicted.

"When the National Archives and Records Administration handed over a trove of documents to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, some of the Trump White House records had been ripped up and then taped back together, according to three people familiar with the records.
Former president Donald Trump was known inside the White House for his unusual and potentially unlawful habit of tearing presidential records into shreds and tossing them on the floor — creating a headache for records management analysts who meticulously used Scotch tape to piece together fragments of paper that were sometimes as small as confetti …"
Neither the Committee nor Short had comment afterward. Short, so far as I know isn’t running for office, so he’s not constrained by that. I am guessing that after A LOT of testimony, and after seeing how things are going for TFG, they were exhausted by an interview very helpful to Congress.
Short testimony in a lengthy session.
That’s a cool oxymoron.
Time for Mike Pence to testify.
Pence testifies in pensive session.
However, Pence is reportedly looking to aides such as Short to act as his “proxy” instead of the former VP having to appear before the committee himself.
In other words, Short is Mike Pence’s fly’s understudy. But just for this performance.
Just remember Marc Short quit Trump after Trump’s very fine people comment on Charlottesville protest.
I thought I had read somewhere Trump would literally eat some of the documents. I pity the record keeper that has to go through his scat.
The documents reportedly included a memo from Trump aide Johnny Mentee likening former President Trump to Thomas Jefferson.
Likening? In what way? In that they both thought it was OK to enslave people?
Did Jefferson wear a wig?
No comparison. He looked good, J-dog. Just look at a nickel if you doubt me.
If you read the article, zero.
That’s what the bad guys need to be afraid of. People who went in there and just gave it up because damn if they were going to prison for Trump.
His former boss is still running for office, or thinks he is. If you want to work again in DC, or just retain a lobbyist’s level of access, you do not burn your former boss if you can avoid it.
He won’t, if he can avoid it. He still thinks he’s a candidate for 2024, and going supinely before the committee is not a good look for someone who wants to be president.
Little-known fact, the origin of the powerful position of chamberlain, was the practice of the king’s doctor examining the king’s poop for “symptoms”. The poop doctor, having daily intimate access to the king (literally in the room), was a sought-after person of much influence.
This has been another episode of Things You Didn’t Want To Know™.
Additionally, Short was a firsthand witness to Trump and conservative attorney John Eastman’s pressure campaign to convince Pence to delay the count of the Electoral College votes during a meeting in the Oval Office on Jan. 4.
This could prove to be interesting. As a first hand witness, Short can tell the Committee exactly what Eastman told Trump and speak to Trump’s state of mind and knowledge as to the legality of what Eastman was recommending.
