I never pay any attention to him anyway, so it's a moot point.

because whatever they might allege probably happened at a Federal level.

This guy could pick judges for two more years and there is nothing the American people can do about it.

The only sure way to get him out is impeachment

But the GOP faced a choice:
1. VP President Pence in jail who is about to become president
2. Or President Pelosi

Their heads would explode. They hate Nancy.
I don't think that vote is a slam dunk with Mitch McConnell calling the shots.

The above is kind of silly talk because if Pence is in danger of getting nailed, they make him resign in exchange for a pardon first. Then they can install a "clean" Republican (if there is one).
That way, if Trump goes, they keep the White House (which is all they care about - they don't care about Trump or Pence).

Pence wants to be President so bad he can't stand it. It must be agonizing for him to watch Trump be such an idiot and fool in the office Pence is sure God wants Pence to have. I hope it's agonizing. That would make my day.

Right now, Pence is keeping his head low, trying to keep it. He's hoping to ride this out and take the prize that is the only reason he became VP - taking office after Trump has to leave.

He was picked by Manafort who is as filthy as it gets... I had a thought a little while ago and I think it might be something we aren't noticing. I think there are a ton of indictments coming for pence and the kids and the other obvious conspirators. They can all be put behind bars yesterday. I think the timing will be that will all happen after the 3rd of January, we will have the House and a new Speaker who can become president when he has an aneurysm when they perp-walk the kids and Pence. That would just make my day.

There’s a reason Manafort selected Pence for VP though.
