According to a National Security witness, Mike Pence’s Secret Service agents were terrified for their lives: “There were calls to say goodbye to family members.”
One of the January 6 committee’s biggest challenges with its hearings has been to explain to the public, the majority of which lived through that unthinkable day, why things were actually so much worse than what it already knew, when it already knew that, the president of the United States, incited group of violent, armed followers to attack the U.S. Capitol as Congress was certifying’s victory.
Asked why he made an entry about the situation, the witness said, “If they’re running out of options and they’re getting nervous, it sounds like we came very close to either Service having to use lethal options or worse. At that point I don’t know, is the VP compromised? Is the detail compromised? We didn’t have visibility but it doesn’t...if they’re screaming and saying things like 'say goodbye to the family,' the floor needs to know this is going to a whole ‘nother level soon.
