    complying with lawful subpoenas.

    Didn’t he refuse the subpoena from the January 6th committee though?

      Yup, he fought that and delayed things to the point he avoided any testimony.

      Which makes all his current comments super bullshit given his avoidance of the right time to talk about it all.

      IIRC, he was never actually subpoenaed, but was quite vocal that he wouldn’t cooperate, so the committee simply didn’t bother. They certainly would have taken his testimony if offered.

      The VP does have a unique position, being the only elected person in the Federal Government involved in two branches at once. It’s possible that the committee didn’t want to get bogged down in litigating that as part of the subpoena.
