5. Pence's problem is the grand jury and SC Jack Smith.

If Pence has criminal information about Trump, which involves Pence, and SC has the evidence to indict Pence, then:

SC could grant immunity to Pence, removing Pence's ability to plead the 5th, and become a witness against Trump while not facing incrimination himself.

I don't know if that is the case, but Pence knows that Trump is the most vindictive, unstable man possibly ever to hold office, and it may be Pence's best strategy to take Trump down and clear a path to the whitehouse for himself.

He'd pickup a boatload of independent votes and never Trump repubs if he did that.
