Pote potentialally the former vice president not certifying electric tort votes. he is certainly a witness and makes sense and i think the vice president has limited options to escape giving testimony. yeah, that s an interesting note. the january 6th committee failed to get his testimony. do you think a subpoena could be in play if pence decides he wants to fight this? yeah, big difference between a grand jury subpoena coming out of a criminal investigation and a congressional subpoena. so grand jury subpoena really offers the former vice president very limited opportunities to try to evade that. he certainly can go to court if he wants to but the bottom line is that the court of appeals in the district of columbia, federal court of appeals that would oversee this has made it abundantly clear if federal prosecutors have criminal cases that are open and need the testimony of a witness, can t get that testimony elsewhere, ....
