It's already too late for him, I think. He had been parroting the same line of bullshit about Flynn until Trump blew that pile of shit apart with his interview. And saying that he had no idea about Flynn won't help him, either, because he was warned by a Senator back in November. Of course, Pence says he never got that letter.
Dumbshit. Doesn't he realize how incompetent that makes him look?
Unless he realizes he's gonna get impeached, too, and is trying to play the up the incompetence card to avoid more serious penalties.
And after the President Pro Tempore, it goes to The Speaker of the House of Representatives.
This is why it'd be such a huge deal if the Republicans hold off on impeachment until midterms. Because if both the House and the Senate swing to the Democrats, then it's game over for the Republicans - literally the worst possible outcome for them. Because if that happens, a new President Pro Tempore and Speaker of the House must be selected... and whoever those are... well, once the Democrats go full on for impeachment (and I'm pretty sure that they'll go after both Trump and Pence, because while Pence might be competent, he still leaves much to be desired)... guess who your new POTUS and VPOTUS are gonna be?
