Start the investigations immediately. We already know he's as guilty of high crimes as tRump. If Mitch doesn't convict tRump, we impeach Pence too. There's your motivation.

VP doesn't get impeached. The only other figures who get impeached are the judges.

(86,610 posts)I am not sure why I forgot that part.
Perhaps because I went back to the memory of Agnew and that part stuck. There was never a question about anyone else in the Clinton event so the question about others never came up in reality so I guess I lost that part of my memory, which is kind of unsettling. But I'd rather stand corrected than go on incorrectly!
Probably a good time to visit my reference library!
The VP doesn't play a Senate role in impeachment
