Pence will not lie for Trump. He knows he needs to maintain credibility in the event Trump is constitutionally removed from office.
I think the GOP should start thinking along those lines, at least privately for now. Pence will appear as a national savior, even to the political left, the longer this nightmare continues. The base of the political right will be upset, at least initially, but they'll get over it with time. Individuals come-and-go, but institutions (including the US) should outlast them.
Or even when his term expires which is far far more likely.

Nobody cares whether or not General (retd) Michael Flynn was a registered democrat, republican or independent. He was the nominated-National Security Adviser whom conspired with the government of Russia against the sitting American government, then lied about it. This is beyond dispute.
Can you point me to the Warren Commission report on the events so that I can be as convinced as you are that it is "beyond dispute?"
Flynn was said to have lost the trust of the POTUS, per Sean Spicer. Not in dispute.
America is now basically a European nation.
Once great, powerful & respected (if not always loved). Not any longer. Materially rich, to be sure, with high standards of living. But not much else. An empty, hollow nation. Passionless. Like religion has become.
Love of country, patriotism, now is passe, something to be sneered at. A cynical joke. Something to be used only to in politics. (Did I serve in the military, pols will be asked. No, but look at my awesome US flag pin! Lee Greenwood loves me!)
A country permanently divided, never to be united for any future cause or issue or event. Never again.
Ethics, civics, honesty - might as well remove those words from the dictionary. They're for "losers" who can't "counter punch".
Future 4th of July celebrations? Memorial Day observances? Excuses to get drunk. Nothing more.
American patriotism is dead
I think those were president Obama's values, making America compassionate and weak, but forgot about the smartness.2020 campaign slogan:
"Make America honest compassionate & smart again" lol
