The forces of justice are gathering and Pence knows he can be deemed complicit by virtue of his silence. He knew all that went on leading up to the assault.
As long as he didn't feel threatened by the investigation he was perfectly fine with saying nothing. And, what he has said is the bare minimum to put some separation between him and the Trump conspiracy to overturn the election.
But, he's burned his bridges behind him as far as the Republicans are concerned.
I want to see what he'll do next.
