Trump and Pence spent more than hour [on Wednesday] in the oval office

referred to the Jan. 6.

Other reports say that Trump is confused about the role Pence will play on
Jan, 6th. Pence will be presiding, but other than that he doesn't really
have an active role. Trump seems to think, according to aides and other
sources, that Pence can just short circuit the proceedings and declare
Trump the winner.


I can see Trump expecting Pence to stand up for him and demand the
election be invalidated. Legally, no reason to do that but the guy in
charge does not care. This can cause a big rift if there is not one
already.
I'm going to get the large popcorn to watch this one play out.
