Opinion: Mike Pence's massive display of hypocrisy about January 6 | CNN

Dean Obeidallah: Mike Pence's speech at the Gridiron Club Dinner was a few laughs, some truth and a helping of hypocrisy.

He says Pence is right on both accounts, but why he's stonewalling efforts to provide a full accounting of events surrounding January 6, 2021, insurrection.

He asks: Why can history hold the former President accountable if he won’t share details of his interactions with Trump leading up to the 2020 election and the day of the attack on the US Capitol? We need to know what Trump did, and who better than Pence to tell us?.

Why is Pence resisting talking to a federal grand jury about what he knows? There’s not a hint of partisanship there. Yet Pence filed a motion this month to block the subpoena, arguing it was “unconstitutional and unprecedented.” He can’t have it both ways. Either he shares with the American people a full accounting of what Trump did and said in the lead-up to January 6.
