On the night of 4 January, Luttig received a call from old friend Richard Cullen, who was working as a lawyer for Pence. Cullen explained that John Eastman, who had previously clerked for Luttig, was making the claim that Pence had the constitutional authority to stop certification of the election results.
Luttig told Cullen to advise Pence that this was flat wrong and further set out his views on Twitter: “The only responsibility and power of the Vice-President under the Constitution is to faithfully count the electoral college votes as they have been cast.”
On January 6 a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol and demanded that Pence be hanged, leaving a trail of death, destruction and excrement, but the results got certified all the same.
I think I have tad bit of PTSD type symptoms after watching 1/6 steam live. I still am in shock of how few people understand or care what happened. It’s been like living in bizzaro world ever since 2017.
I sure do, and have said so on here more than once. Pictures of that day trigger me, videos are flat out unwatchable. Fear, rage, revenge lust, hate, I get all that.
Hell, I had to go walk around the house simply from typing that out.
I feel that to the core.
