Pence is properly motivated.

Pence has upsides.

If Trump prevails against the fraud, Pence is VP 2021-2025 and has a good shot at the title in 2024, maybe with DJTJr as VP on the ticket.

If the fraud holds, but there's a miracle and we have a clean election again, Trump could come back in 2024 with Pence, but leaving Pence without the title shot until 2028. If elections as we thought we knew them are over, then nobody has a shot.

On downside, if Pence turned on Trump and got caught, his political life is completely over. The Republicans won't have him and he's too conservative for the Democrats. Everyone hates a traitor so a book deal is probably not in the cards.

The motivations of Congresscritters should be concerning.

The Republicans will gain one thing from Trump in the Oval for another 4 years, but can use 2 or 4 years of a Biden/Harris conspiracy to cry "Poor Me" with regard to party fund raising, not having to get anything done "Because Biden", 'We need your help to get them next time" and so forth.
