The documentary film crew subpoenaed by the January 6 committee interviewed former Vice President Mike Pence on January 12, 2021, a day before the House of Representatives voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump for inciting the Capitol riot.

In a clip of the documentary from filmmaker Alex Holder, which was obtained by CNN, Pence is shown an email by a member of his staff that includes the draft House resolution demanding that Pence invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power, according to the documentary.

Pence tells his aide, "Yeah, excellent" as he is handed the phone with the email. He then offers a pained smirk and asks the aide to "tell Zach to print me off a hard copy for the trip home." Pence then collects himself for the rest of the interview.

The next clip shows Pence saying, "I am always hopeful about America," juxtaposed against the backdrop of crews erecting security fencing around the Capitol building.

1. Pence is absolutely spineless.

2. As a side to this, after hearing today's J6 testimony I am hard pressed to

believe that Pence put country over party. I think he had knowledge that the DOJ was not supporting Trump and therefore, was aware of the hurt of trouble he'd be in if he obliged Trump.

3. I've thought about this too ...

Do we really want to believe that Pence, who never questioned Trump's corruption, really was going to grow a spine when it came to the election? Pence was a coward from day one. What made him change at the last minute? The J6 committee should really sit his ass down and question him.

4. Trump could shiv Pence in the prison yard

And Pence would smile and thank him.

5. When Pence was serving in the House...

He was considered to be the dumbest person in Congress...this wasn't actually said maliciously😂, it was just common knowledge that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

You might remember also, that when trump picked him as his vice president, trump tried to back out right after it was announced.

6. Pence will probably be the next Republican candidate for president.

7. Absolutely not

Trump's base hates him, independents know he's spineless. He'd be extremely easy to beat, so it sucks that he couldn't be their nominee.
