Maybe they managed to arrest Pence, flip him or he is a white-hat.

I remember in Trump's 6th speech and he said something like: "It will take courage for Pence to do nothing" I thought he misspoke.

I like to believe in people, (unlike blackpillers who are on the ropium 24/7) and maybe they managed to flip Pence for a lesser sentence or he is pretending to work with the deep state.
