Remember Sen Grassley's tweet about filling in for Pence? [View all]

Grassley tweeted Jan 5 that he'd be filling in for Pence during certification of electors since Pence was not expected to be there. His office quickly announced that he meant IF Pence wasn't able to be there, but I wonder if the first version wasn't more accurate. Could that be how they planned to get around Pence's refusal to cooperate? Just have him taken somewhere else for a while? Sounds crazy, but then recall the story that came out about Pence not leaving the Capitol that day because he didn't trust the driver?

Note: this is speculation, but I wonder if Grassley didn't unintentionally give away something here ... And I think this could all have been much worse than it turned out! But we need to discover and deal with the truth about what happened in order to be prepared for what might come next.
