Pence's Chief Counsel Advised That Vice President Could Not Decide Elections



Greg Jacob, the chief counsel to former Vice President Mike Pence, testified at the third public hearing of the Jan. 6 committee that he advised Pence in December 2021 that the vice president had no single power to decide the outcome of elections.

  5. What a disgrace. Americans are getting crushed under Brandon's economic policies while another witch hunt is conducted. Disgraceful Democrats and lying media. #leftistscourge #liberalscourge

  6. Touch my camera through the fence bro

  7. He wasn't wrong, Pence is a wimp.

  8. John Eastman, Pardon boy #?
    “He said absolutely. Al Gore didn’t have a basis to do it 2000. Kamala Harris shouldn’t be able to do it in 2024 but I think you should do it today”

  9. This will go down in history as the most dangerous threats to democracy that has ever been. Why is the instigator not facing criminal charges?

  10. Eastman reasoning, if allowed, would mean that Kamala Harris will decide who will win the 2024 election. Cool. She has every legal right to declare Joe Biden the winner! Thank you very much. LOL!

  11. Black democrats are responsible for more mass killing of their own people than their democrat slave masters.

  12. V.p. in it's role, I d c. If it be pence or any other v.p. . The calling of votes in that session was for pence to take the nay votes for trump and provide written answers to the nay votes.

  13. Deport. GOP. To. Russia. Arrest Bonespures

  14. LP reacted d ryt way, she is Kayantanii.UNO need of over drama, or over consider ations. She don't deserve *considerationsa. Lp പറഞ്ഞ പോലെ,, ജീവിതം തുടങ്ങിയല്ലേ ഉള്ളു, പഠിക്കട്ടെ.

  15. Congress let’s get to work on gas prices, food, Border security, 300 young Americans dying everyday day for the last year of illegal killer drugs coming in at our border shameful.
    We must get to better work on fixing these things shameful stuff.

  16. The Florida vote was terrible then. My son was with me then as an elementary school kid on that day hen votes were tallied in Florida. (Vice President Al Gore was running against Governor and then President George W Bush. The ballots were fouled up in Florida for days. ) The ballots had holes in them for vote ..counting. The computers messed them all up then. Then, the Supreme Court called this election. It was very stressful. 💗💕Worse than ..this nightmare scenario here. Yikes. That’s history. 💜☮️🤎💜💗

  17. Donald Trump is a criminal and a traitor.

  18. What a mess the last year has been what a mess shameful shameful

  19. Does anyone know who made up this committee ? For January 6 ?

  20. VP has the Discretionary privilege to exercise his determinative function on integrity of electoral votes. .
    my view is . ,
    what Pence did was he made himself 'irrational lawyer tainted w/ deceitful intent' , .
