On Meet the Press today, Mike Pence said he asked the Senate Parliamentarian directly in a meeting on Jan. 3, 2021 if she had received any certificates from fake GOP electors.
Pence said the answer was no.
But emails from that day paint a much different story.

Rep. George Santos R-NY is charged with unemployment benefits fraud.
The House is slated to vote this week on a bill to help states recover fraudulent COVID unemployment payments.
**Santos is a co-sponsor of that bill.**
One charge says Santos committed unemployment fraud, getting $24,744 in jobless benefits when he actually had a job. (The indictment says it happened after Congress okayed an emergency COVID package in 2020.)

The Speaker of the Georgia state House doesn't like mailing voters absentee ballots during the virus outbreak. Why? Because he says it will hurt conservative Republicans by driving up turnout.
“This will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives in Georgia,” said House Speaker David Ralston, who has pushed a delay of the state's May 19 primary, of the plan to mail 6.9M voters absentee request forms.
