Frankly, Grassley is 87. Just running for his life in the Capitol could take him out.

Also, has Pompeo even condemned the violence? He's Trump, but smarter.

My guess is that Pence told him to stand the fuck down for the next 13 days or he’s going to invoke the 25th. (Or at least I hope so.). The fact that Pence was threatened yesterday probably does not sit too well with him. I think the days of adoring gazes at Dear Leader are long over.

They called it a “pressure campaign that Trump was applying to VP Pence”

-The VP and Trump are holed up in the oval office for hours on Tuesday and Trump was repeatedly pressuring Pence to help engineer “the coup.” Per a source from the VP office, the president made it very clear to VP Pence that if he didn’t take part there would be major political consequences for Pence.

-Apparently, Karen and her daughter were up on Capitol Hill when the storm took place and per the source Pence didn’t feel the president was doing enough to show concern for the safety of the Vice President.

-The source told Jim Acosta “they” are very concerned about this. Here is the quote from the source: “Was he concerned at all that an angry mob that he commanded to march on the capital might injure the vice president or his family?”

-Some of Pence’s aids think Pence is being set up as a fall
guy. Basically because Giuliani and Mark Meadows put out the fall story that Pence had the ability to stop the count somehow yesterday.

- Pence’s group feel betrayed.
