We Have Biden Because Pence Blinked

There was a Jan. 6 coup plan. Pence would have had to unilaterally throw out the electoral votes and Trump and cronies worked very hard to convince him but couldn't. What a lame limp noodle of a hero!

The true contours of this emerge from a New York Times excavation of the role of John Eastman, the lawyer who wrote the Trump coup memo. It outlined how Pence supposedly could exercise unilateral power (that he did not have) over the process to refuse to count President-elect Joe Biden’s electors, throwing the election to Trump.

Buried in that piece is an important revelation: Pence apparently went further than previously known in probing whether he could execute a version of Eastman’s scheme.
