Well this is interesting:
After being taken to an undisclosed portion of the Capitol during the riot, Pence's Secret Service agents, whom Raskin suspected were reporting directly to Trump's security detail, asked him to enter an armored limousine. The intent, some have theorized, was to drive Pence away from the building, preventing him from certifying the election results, after he had signaled his unwillingness to go against his duties and keep Trump in power.
And how did Pence respond exactly?
"[Pence] uttered what I think are the six most chilling words of this entire thing I've seen so far: 'I'm not getting in that car,'" Raskin said. "He knew exactly what this inside coup they had planned for was going to do."
Huh, ya don’t say? But I thought this was just a wee little protest? Why would the second most powerful man in the country refuse to get in the car with the Secret Service, the government’s most highly respected detail of protecting government civil servants? Gosh, how odd…..

While this is the first I had heard of these events, it’s apparent in the comments that this was indeed nothing new, although some of the details may be new to the story. I changed the title to “Not Breaking” as a result.
