Pence has not ruled out 25th Amendment, source says
CNN ^ | January 9, 2021 | By Jim Acosta and Pamela Brown

Vice President Mike Pence has not ruled out an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment and wants to preserve the option in case President Donald Trump becomes more unstable, a source close to the vice president says.

The source said there is some concern inside Pence's team that there are risks to invoking the 25th Amendment or even to an impeachment process, as Trump could take some sort of rash action putting the nation at risk.

As of Saturday evening, Trump and Pence still have not spoken since the Wednesday incursion at the US Capitol that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer, another source told CNN. The President has also not made any public comments denouncing death threats that have been posted on social media targeting Pence.

That’s all nonsense talk.

Trump’s latest crime is not denouncing internet posts.

“...Is he looking for another 30 pieces of silver?...”

Maybe....
Those two coins that he was handed previous were rumored to be worth about $100K each....but then again, they could have been just highway toll tokens. /s

Its plausible

However I dont believe Pence wants to go this route. Just a gut thing at this point.

“Sources”. Totally unreliable and probably some juvenile idiotic liberal making up lies.

“President Pence” (for 5 days), would look good on his 2024 run resume...

I would like to believe something bigger is going on benefitting us, but at the moment Pence looks like a sellout.
