The Daily Mail reports:
A conspiracy theory touting lawyer who has championed Donald Trump’s election fraud claims is stirring controversy by suggesting Vice President Mike Pence should “face execution by firing squad” for treason.
“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,” he tweeted on Friday.
Lin Wood’s remarks on Friday have drawn a backlash with some questioning his mental health following his call for Pence’s arrest.
The Daily Beast reports:
Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood’s prediction that Vice President Mike Pence could “face execution by firing squad” for “treason” is prompting Trumpworld to once again try and distance itself from the Atlanta attorney.
Jenna Ellis, an attorney for the Trump campaign, declared in a tweet late Friday: “I do not support the statements from Attorney Lin Wood. I support the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.”
Separately, Nicholas Sandmann, the former Covington Catholic High School student who Wood represented in defamation suits against media outlets stemming from coverage of a confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial, linked to Wood’s Pence tweet with the comment, “I’m sorry but what the hell.”
I support the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution too, Jenna @JennaEllisEsq.
I was fighting for both 7 years before you were born.
I fight for TRUTH too. Truth always prevails. You do support that statement, don’t you, Jenna? https://t.co/vsaI7BxEHZ

When The President of the United States @realDonaldTrump re-tweets a video 3 times, American Patriots must watch it.
Watch it carefully. The video speaks TRUTH.

Look carefully at those who are calling me insane & urging my arrest.
What is their agenda? Do they have something to hide & do not want TRUTH revealed?
You will have to make your own choice as to whether you believe in me. Choose wisely.
God bless you. – Lin ?❤️??@GenFlynn

Chief Justice John Roberts & Justice Stephen Breyer should resign from their positions on the United States Supreme Court by Noon ET tomorrow, January 2, 2021.
Our Constitution is based on God’s laws.

Mike Pence @VP @Mike_Pence should resign immediately unless he publicly states that he will reject electors from states where fraud occurred.
A man of God would NEVER certify a lie.
Every lie will be revealed. Every lie means every lie. Always has. Always will. https://t.co/QbGJyFYRyF pic.twitter.com/fvhsj3Y6Eo

Too bad we don’t get New Year’s wish list. If we did, I know 3 things I would want on my list:
1. Sec. Pompeo @SecPompeo in charge of Senate on 1/6/21 after Pence @VP is arrested.
2. @GenFlynn to be appointed as Vice-President by @realDonaldTrump.
3. 4 more Trump years!2021!
