9. Without Pence As VP.....

it doesn't give Pence the opportunity to pardon Trump. Also we need to consider the succession for the presidency after the VP is gone. Speaker of the House is next in line. Paul Ryan has dropped out and is retiring. If Dems take over the House - what happens? Hatch is retiring as well. Next in line then is Mike Pompeo. What are his aspirations?

Succession:

1 Vice President Mike Pence (R)
2 Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan (R)
3 President Pro Tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch (R)
4 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (R)

Seems to me that timing is everything going forward.

Has Pompeo's name been mentioned as 'Anonymous'?

All this seems interesting to me.
