Honestly, after he decided to woo the voters who were recently shouting “Hang Mike Pence”, I’ve given up guessing what will seem like rational calculus to this guy.

Yes, Mike, please shuffle off to some think tank that will pay you and Mother a comfortable salary, maybe write a book that some PAC will buy up and give away to donors, and then fuck off.

Pence has a very nice pension from his time in state government, Congress and as Veep.
He should retire. Maybe borrow Clarence Thomas’s RV and hit the road for 6 months. Park in every Walmart he can.

And in the meantime, he can say or do whatever he wants to intimidate witnesses and cajole his cult to attack prosecutors.
Do these assholes think this is a game?

Live coverage is reporting trump is attacking the judge and attorney general form the witness stand.
During one moment, according to CNN and other outlets, Judge Arthur Engoron told Trump’s attorneys to “control him if you can.”
“If you can’t I will. I will I excuse him and draw every negative inference that I can,” Engoron said.
Trump had been asked to answer a question about the valuation of one of his properties, but he gave a defiant answer.
On CNN, correspondent Paula Reid, outside the Manhattan courthouse, reported at around 10:30 a.m. ET that “for the first time on the stand so far, Trump has really taken a shot at the judge, suggesting, ‘I’m sure the judge will rule against me, because the judge always rules against me.'”
Reid added, “My law license is pretty dusty, but that is not something that witnesses are advised to say on the stand, even if that’s the way you feel.”
Reid reported that the judge, Arthur Engoron, then asked Trump’s attorney if “that comment was necessary to answer the question that Trump had been asked.” The judge, according to Reid, then said, “Look, you can attack me. Do whatever you want. But answer the question.'” Engoron also said that Trump’s allegation — that he always rules against him — was “not true.”
