if it does happen (Pence is charged then pardoned, will and or could he continue being VP?)

[Abouttime]

11. I think it'll go down like this..

Trump leaves office soon, Mueller will bring charges of conspiracy and obstruction against tRump and he will have no choice to leave, if for nothing else to spare his children and grandchildren a life in prison or worse. Pence will assume the Presidency but only as a figurehead long enough to appoint Hillary VP, he will then be spared prosecution and life in prison by resigning the Presidency in a grand bargain to prevent civil war.
If Pence refuses to resign I could see California and several other states declaring their independence and taking the military resources with them. Washington would likely join California and together they would have arguably the strongest navy in the world with the pacific fleet in San Diego and the nuclear missle submarines at naval base Kitsap.
Trump has pushed our nation to the brink of breaking apart, unfortunately we can't bring back Obama to heal our wounds, the only person capable is Hillary and she must be made President.
