The Alleged Assassination Plot of Mike Pence on January 6: Uncovering the Truth Behind Trump’s Inaction
The days leading up to January 6, 2021, in the U.S. Capitol building were filled with tension and uncertainty. As the
Did Trump Plan to Have Mike Pence Killed?
For months, President-elect Joe Biden and the victorious Democrat process had to navigate through a storm of political hostility from the outgoing administration. The narrative pins the blame on Donald Trump and his supporters, particularly focusing on the events of January 6. But there is a darker angle to this story that has not been thoroughly explored—what if Trump did have Mike Pence in his crosshairs? The question arises: did Trump attempt to have Mike Pence killed that fateful day?
Trump’s Indirect Involvement
When examining the events of that day, it becomes clear that Trump did not get his hands directly dirty. Rather, he poked at the hive, causing a massive reaction. He orchestrated the situation, much like a manipulator who riles up his followers without needing to act himself. The direct evidence is not there, but the indirect evidence is strong enough to raise eyebrows.
Mike Pence in Danger
Mike Pence was in a position where he was heavily targeted by the mob. Trump had to have been aware of the threats and the violence that was escalating. He played the role of a passive observer, allowing the situation to spiral out of control. If Pence had been physically harmed or killed, the repercussions for Trump would have been severe. It could have resulted in charges of negligent manslaughter or, at the very least, legal action for obstructing the certification process. In a worst-case scenario, evidence showing that Trump intended for his supporters to kill Pence could have led to much more serious charges.
The Removal of Mike Pence
The mention of the “hang Mike Pence” chant was not lost on Trump. He was aware of the intensity and the violence of the crowd. The FBI has yet to fully investigate the carpenter who put together the gallows kit with a noose. It is crucial to identify this individual and find out if someone was indeed orchestrating the threat against Pence. This begs the question: how much did Trump know about the specific threats and who was behind them?
Subtle Indicators from Trump’s Actions
There are some off-the-cuff remarks made by Trump that suggest his awareness of the situation’s severity. For instance, Tuberville’s phone call to Trump mentioning that “they have just taken out the Vice President” shortly before a strange tweet from Trump was made. This tweet seemed almost like an “excuse” for the mob, and it makes sense if Trump thought the mob had indeed killed Pence. Trump was disappointed for various reasons, including the Secret Service’s refusal to take him to the Capitol and the lack of expected violence. The final “go home we love you” message implies a mix of disappointment and possibly a plan to shift the focus elsewhere.
Trump’s Cowardice and Ambitions
Throughout these events, Trump exhibited clear signs of cowardice. He relied on other people to do his dirty work and took credit for it on his own TV show. If the mob had succeeded in lynching Pence, Trump would likely have laughed at the situation, as it would have been the ultimate form of manipulation. The reality is that Trump’s primary ambition was to remain in power, and he would have gone to any lengths to achieve that, even if it meant declaring martial law and maintaining control.
Conclusion: The Question Remains Open
The question of whether Trump planned to have Mike Pence killed on January 6 remains a matter of speculation and investigation. The evidence is circumstantial, but the implications are dire. If true, the actions (or inactions) of Trump on that day could have severe legal and political ramifications. This is a story that has yet to be fully told, and further investigations by authorities and the media are crucial to uncovering the whole truth.
