reporter: it will all focus on the pressure on mike pence to take that unconstitutional action on january 6, 2021 to overturn the electoral certified votes of the states here on january 6, something of course that he rejected doing. but going to the genesis of how this theory first came about. looking at the trump attorney john eastman who is a prominent supporter of this and directly tie donald trump s words to the violence that occurred on january 6 as words about mike pence into exactly what happened here in the capitol. now, two people will be testifying who are very close to mike pence, we expect to hear from greg jake sob who is a former counsel for mike pence and as well as judge mike luttig, former judge and adviser of sorts to pence to understand what the vice president was thinking at the time. we do also expect to see video deposition from his former chief of staff marc short, who will be featured prominently in today s hearing. we ve gotten a copy of judge lutti
outrageous. that is not necessarily a crime. did john eastman cross the line, however, and i think that we have to look at what was behind the ridiculous legal theory. witnesses today will tell you that that legal theory was crazy and i think the argument will be his purpose was to ob strstruct congressional counting and that intent could make it criminal. much of the focus of the hearing is going to be the pressure that was put on vice president mike pence. liz cheney was quoting president trump saying that maybe the supporters have the right idea, that maybe, quote, pence deserves it. how much of the intention today is to demonstrate that there was this overwhelming pressure on mike pence and that trump almost got pence killed? yeah, let s remember, this is the end game. when you are thinking about the time line from the election up to january 6, this is all happening at the very end.
