Good work by @svdate showing that Trump's effort to whip up more mob rage at Pence may have come *after* he must have learned that Pence's life was in danger from the goons Trump himself had incited:

Trump's Tweet Attacking Pence Came Right After Learning His VP's Life Was In Danger (Original Post)

OP

(38,601 posts)1. It's either right after or right before
Some places (confusingly) say pence was evacuated at 2:26. Others have it earlier (since that infamous mike Lee phone call is where they tell drumpf pence got away).

Pence would not do his bidding and he needed to be "removed."

(10,126 posts)3. Trump might have hoped to pick a replacement VP to pardon himself ....
An evil man.
How can they not vote to convict? Corruption.
Irish_Dem
(47,131 posts)4. Had not thought of that.
But yes, it makes sense. Get rid of Pence and appoint Hawley or Cruz.
Maybe he had already talked to Hawley about it.
Geez. Evil is right.

I really wish Mike Pence would speak out about this, but we know he's a spineless lizard.
Irish_Dem
(47,131 posts)6. Plus he wants to find work in the GOP think tanks.
If he turns on Trump, Pence will be unemployed.
Mother won't like that.
