I came across this interesting tidbit from 9 days ago. I thought it deserves more examination.

Ex-presidential niece Mary Trump told her viewers that the reason then-Vice President Mike Pence stayed in the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack was that he “knew enough not to trust some of the Secret Service agents who wanted to whisk him away.”

“...given the kind of slimy, sanctimoniousness with which Mike Pence has treated an appearance, a potential appearance in front of the January 6 committee… Which is to say he’s acted like he has a choice and that he’s above it all and is not going to condescend to testify in front of the January 6 committee.

I truly hope that the DOJ can compel him to testify. It’s very clear that he could fill in some very glaring blanks.

We know, first of all, that his boss was essentially calling for his assassination. Oops!

And we know that Pence knew enough not to trust some of the Secret Service agents who wanted to whisk him away from the Capitol. A lot of people have interpreted Pence’s decision to stay in the Capitol basement surrounded by security, to his courage to make sure that the job of of certifying the election got done. I have a slightly different take. I think that he knew that if he left? Things… Things may not have ended well for him.”
