A lawyer for Trump says Vice President Mike Pence should be executed for “treason” for not having seconded lawsuits to overturn the election results.
Lin Wood, a lawyer for outgoing US President Donald Trump, suggested on Twitter Saturday that Pence should “face execution by firing squad”For not supporting the allegations of electoral fraud and granting the victory to Democrat Joe Biden in the presidential elections on November 3.
Pence will oversee a joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives on January 6 in the US Congress, during which Biden’s victory over Trump will be formalized. The current president refuses to acknowledge the results, but, so far, he has not presented any evidence to support the above.
The role of the vice president, as president of the Senate, in said ceremony is a formality stipulated in the United States’ Election Counting Act of 1887.
“If Pence is arrested, [el secretario de Estado Mike] Pompeo will save the elections. Pence will be in jail awaiting trial for treason. He will face execution by firing squad. He’s a coward and will sing like a bird and confess EVERYTHING, ”Wood tweeted.
If Pence is arrested, @SecPompeo will save the election. Pence will be in jail awaiting trial for treason. He will face execution by firing squad. He is a coward & will sing like a bird & confess ALL.

Wood has lost several lawsuits that sought to challenge the Republican magnate’s electoral defeat in the federal courts of the key states, where Biden triumphed.
In the thread of his claims, said lawyer even mentioned that the attention had focused on the Democrats during the effort to reverse the result of the elections, but that one of the main culprits of Trump’s defeat was his own formation, that is say, the Republican Party.
In another message, Wood said that Pence should immediately resign from his post, unless he publicly declares that he will reject the results of the Electoral College of those states where the alleged electoral fraud was concocted.. “A man of God would NEVER certify a false lie,” he stressed.
On December 14, Electoral College delegates awarded Biden’s candidacy victory with 306 votes to Trump’s 232, ending a run of court cases in the New York mogul’s campaign.
