87. MAGA's don't like him.

Conservatives would salivate to have him in office. They don’t care about him not taking action against Trump when he knew of a plot. If the DOJ doesn’t pursue it, then he gets away with it. That’s the whole point, Trump got away with a LOT of crap. Up until this Jan 6 investigation, he has been getting away with serious stuff.

Why would anyone in the Republican universe hold Mike Pence accountable?

You are right, Justice Matters. And I love Glenn Kirschner. But, if the government doesn’t hold Trump accountable, they certainly won’t hold Pence accountable. And that is the rub.

We are in this state because up until now, most elected bad actors have rarely been held accountable.
