Spez: thanks guys. I'm a huge Pence fan but these days who knows what might happen. I've been focusing on other parts of the fight, so I wasn't positive there hadn't been some development that I've missed. I appreciate all the responses :)
So I just witnessed a testy exchange on a cuckbook Trump group.
Some of the posters were contending that Pence is deep state, that he's involved in the pedophile stuff, that he tries to have geotus assassinated, and that he's going to be the first big name arrested. (Apparently this is devined from interpretations of Q stuff)
The other side contended that Pence has had multiple opportunities to sink the Trump presidency and has never taken them. There's no evidence that he's a bad guy and plenty of evidence to the contrary.
I tend to agree with the latter position. (Pence being a good guy) It just makes more sense. But I figured I'd ask my frens because this is a new theory to me.
There are what claim to be emails between himself, Paul Ryan, and some of the NeverTrumpers back in 2016 about getting Trump off the ticket. Pence is not really taking the lead on it, but he is included, does respond, and is open to the idea, but skeptical. Obviously it looks disloyal, and is, but potentially it could be argued that it was being done as a contigency plan. Then at the end of the email thread, Pence basically says he’s out, delete everything, never speak of this again. The emails seemed genuine just by how they were written, but I never validated them or anything like that so who knows. They could have been written by anyone.
Beyond that, we have the letters at the George H. W. Bush funeral. Pence got one. So people have speculated about that too.
Personally I think Pence may have been somewhat compromised, but Trump may have flipped him. When Brennan was on CNN the other day begging for Pence to take action, I wondered if that was him trying to activate an asset. But the asset has expired and Trump and Pence are just laughing watching him squirm.
The best counter evidence in Pence’s favor is he has never really screwed Trump over or intentionally, say, thrown a debate. He doesn’t generate scandals. Obviously the corporate media doesn’t really attack him too much though. More skeptical people might say that is because he is under their control, but I think it’s because they think attacking Pence would hurt their efforts to get Trump removed.
