Mike Pence Has Sealed Off Records From His 12 Years In Congress

[Eaglewings]

WASHINGTON ― As presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumpcontinues his veepstakes tryouts, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) has emerged as a strong contender to get the nod. On Tuesday, the governor introduced the “Apprentice” star at a rally, offering his unwavering support. The next morning, Trump and his kids swung by Pence’s home for a chat ― presumably about sharing a presidential ticket.

Pence wouldn’t give Trump an important battleground state, and he doesn’t exactly electrify any segments of the electorate that Trump might need to expand his appeal. But he does have one big advantage over the other veep candidates being considered. Unlike with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a vast swath of Pence’s public records have been sealed off from reporters.

Papers from Pence’s time in Congress, spanning 2001 to 2012, are currently housed at Indiana University in Bloomington. According to the library’s website, the collection comprises “23 cartons and approximately 70 GB of electronic records.” But under the donor agreement, the public is forbidden from seeing these materials until either Dec. 5, 2022, or the death of the donor ― whichever is later.

And who is that donor? According to Dina Kellams, IU’s director of university archives, it’s Mike Pence.

Gee, I wonder what Pence is hiding. I hear he has lots of baggage he'd like to keep hidden. Trump sure knows how to pick winners...

I am just recovering from watching Ted Cruz...Please No Newt Gingrich, he is a ass kissing Camelion and creeps me out.
Pence's voting record seems much to the right, trying to capture the Tea Party vote.

Mike Pence on the Issues

Gore and Bush's college records were leaked without their permission, and Kerry only released his after his campaign was over.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Trump and Pence have built a wall around their pasts.

Pence's voting record is available for everyone to see in the Congressional Record.

I wonder what Hillary said in all those speeches to the Wall Street barons? You do remember the $200,000 hour lomg speeches don't you?

No all that nonsense only exists in the con bubble. Out here in the real world people don't know your list of 'who cares' crap. Just as no one outside the bubble knows who Saul Alinsky is. No one. But cons, because they've been conditioned over a number of years to salivate when they hear certain names or certain words, think that what they hold as common knowledge inside their bubble is common knowledge for everyone, can't understand how normals outside the bubble have never heard of the nonsense they talk about.

You wrote that all from the democrat plantation...huh....

We could always do what Republicans would do to a Democrat in this position and create a scandal and start start several fake congressional hearings on him and have his entire Congressional records and emails for the 12 years subpoenaed, and drag the investigations out for 4 years, with phony leaks to the media on how criminal he is, to try to ruin his reputation....and run for President in 2020.

FLASHBACK:
Top Indiana Republicans condemn Trump's comments

Gov. Mike Pence tweeted that “Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.”

Personally I don't care if the presidential candidate and his selected VP don't agree with every issue, it shows Trump is willing to accept opposing views when making a decision as president.

Nah the left will attempt to Palin him...that's how they roll. This thread is proof

 

[stubborn]

Based on what Trump has done so far I'd be very surprised if he picked the decidedly non-headline catching Pence. While there was talk that he'd portray a kinder gentler side to try to win the general so far at least he seems very steadfast in his bombastic headline grabbing ways. Obviously Christie isn't an option which, supposedly, leaves Newt. Not saying Newt is the best choice, but I would guess that would be who Trump would pick of the three. I guess there's no point speculating when we'll know in 2 days, but that's my 2 pence.

He didn't, he sealed records he gave to IU

So? Obama has sealed his college records, and only ever voted present as Senator.

Two lies in one red herring! Well done!

College records are sealed by the college, retard. EVERY college. You obviously never went to one.

Here is Obama's voting record. Good luck finding even ONE time he voted "Present" you lying fuck.

Now stop guzzling piss and regurgitating it like a fucking retarded parrot.

Bbbuut the New York Times!!!!!


In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate.

In the end, Mr. Obama chose neither to vote for nor against the bill. He voted “present,” effectively sidestepping the issue, an option he invoked nearly 130 times as a state senator.

And this is evidence he "only ever voted present as Senator"? Are you actually trying to keep this bullshit lie ALIVE?

Holy shit!!!

Please tell me you aren't this retarded.

Wait. Too late. That horse left the barn the day you first logged onto this forum.

Obama’s Legislative Record

Q: How many times did Obama vote 'present' as a state senator?

A: He did so 129 times, which represents a little more than 3 percent of his total votes.

Jesus, you retards actually are too stupid to know you've been thoroughly trounced! You just get right back in line for a refill of your piss cups even after being shown you've been lied to by your propaganda outlets.

Retards like you DESERVE to be lied to.

What You Need to Know About Mike Pence, Donald Trump's Potential Running Mate

Last year, he was the face of Indiana's so-called Religious Freedom bill, which critics said allowed for discrimination against LGBTQ communities.

Pence signed the bill into law, but was later forced to revise it to address unintended financial ramifications for the state.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, which is based in Indianapolis, said they consideredmoving events away from the state in the future.

Other businesses — such as Salesforce.com — threatened to cancel job-creating expansions in the state.

The controversy over the Religious Freedom bill caused Pence's support in the state to plummet.

Trump will not win the election. Lincoln has a greater chance of raising from the grave.

However, . . . if Trump were to win the election, Newt would probably be the best bet to try to keep in line with the congressional Republicans. They will impeach Trump is he acts up and the Dems will happily join in.

Besides showing up and voting for completely non-controversial bills, please name Obama's notable accomplishment as an IL State Senator and as a U.S. Senator. What notable bills did he sponsor or for which he oversaw the drafting? What notable committee assignments did he have and what did he do to further any important agenda items for those committees?
