Donald Trump must have just fully absorbed what it means to have had Marc Short, Pence’s Chief of Staff, cooperate with the committee and testify to all he knows.  Trump is likely sitting back thinking about all the sh*t he said, blowing up at Pence (and everyone else) with Short in the room.

He is thus having yet another panic attack. Unlike most people, who run to bathrooms and bedrooms to have panic attacks, Trump likes to have his come with their own statement. In a panic, and because he knows Short has already talked, Trump wants the Committee to investigate Pence and Pelosi!:

“So pathetic to watch the Unselect Committee of political hacks, liars, and traitors work so feverishly to alter the Electoral College Act so that a Vice President cannot ensure the honest results of the election, when just one year ago they said that ‘the Vice President has absolutely no right to ensure the true outcome or results of an election,'”

This, of course, is both insane and impossible to make work in any sort of logical progression.

The Vice President did have this right or, more pointedly, could have sent the votes back to various legislators for reassessment after so much fraud and irregularities were found. If it were sent back to the legislators, or if Nancy Pelosi, who is in charge of Capitol security, had taken my recommendation and substantially increased security, there would have been no ‘January 6’ as we know it!”

So, now he is admitting that his people destroyed the Capitol because Mike Pence did what the Constitution told him to do and that is to stand there and open the envelopes and announce each state? And yeah, Nancy Pelosi has so much authority to organize security. Tell us when you told her to increase security, ace.

Trump then – this is breathtakingly beautiful – says that Nancy Pelosi should be investigated for allowing the violence to happen (so Trumpian!), and that Mike Pence should be investigated for failing to send the electors back to the states.

It sounds like Trump did not like contemplating upon what Marc Short might recall in answering the committee’s questions:

NEW!
