Would Pence follow through with Pardons??? (if he isn't indicted also)

(86,515 posts)thoughts pass through my mind this hour and was wondering how to talk about them. There is a lot of bluster about Pelosi becoming Speaker and while reading some of that and the news of cheato's questioning his veep's loyalty...
I suddenly got the idea that Pence has been talking to Meuller's investigators, actually stabbing cheato in the back, yet all the while incriminating himself. Remember, Manafort plays into his being placed in the WH and he's talking, might be the point where he's not participating because he's still sticking it to us by not fingering Pence who would end up as POTUS. But I also got the sense that Pence is already going to be taken down in the big raid which would then place Pekosi in the WH. I'm okay with that and I wonder if the indictments that will really matter will come moments after Pelosi is sworn in as Speaker or shortly thereafter. Just an epiphany kind of thing that came about a little while ago.

(86,515 posts)Think about it, a lot of seat have flipped which will be less costly for many districts to have to hold more elections because their Rep is going to prison.
I think there is a big day of reckoning coming and it will be right after the swearing in ceremonies. I thimk there will be a Valentine's Day like we ain't seen in a loooong time.
Just speculating, of course.
