You are right about Pence specifically but wrong about why.
Obviously centrist dems and the media will be aching to allow redemption stories for various cabinet members, most notably Rick Perry, and we don't need to speculate at how that would look:
These ****ers let Bill Kristol and David Frum into the resistance. No one besides Trump and those people found criminally liable will suffer for this, and we all already know that in the best case scenario of actual prosecutions of Trump and his children and Kusher and **** there will be a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to decide:
1) Nobody needs to "go to prison" like a common thief
2) We should just close the book on the whole messy business of which prominent lobbyists have been taking money from dictators and not paying taxes on that
3) I think the dip**** media has internalized "don't prosecute political opponents" as a newly create norm and will screech that we are a banana republic if Cory Booker's DOJ lifts one finger against a Republican guilty of corruption.
