Like the movie, The Sting, I think all we can do is speculate at this point, until the ending.
I will add that like Romney, pence never strikes me as comfortable in his own skin.
It would not surprise me if Pence was leveraged - by either side.
Or both.
Time will tell.
I bet Pence is leveraged by both sides but is more afraid of the Deep State.
I suppose I would be too if I were in his position, and I’d probably think the Deep State was more likely to come out on top, again, if I were in his position.
But I have no sympathy for people like him nonetheless.
Of course, it is still possible he was playing a role that the Q team wanted him to.
Q had a few posts about “pain” incoming. In hindsight, I think he was referring to these Biden years and the lesson of the pain of them for the public.
