Pence is Smarter Than Trump

Vice President Mike Pence has hired outside legal counsel to help with both congressional committee inquiries and the special counsel investigation into possible collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia.

The vice president’s office said Thursday that Pence has retained Richard Cullen, a Richmond, Virginia-based lawyer and chairman of McGuire Woods who previously served as a U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Pence hired a criminal defense guy who has significant experience in federal criminal cases. Trump's going with a civil litigator.

Also, Pence is keeping his yap shut.

Cullen is apparently quite a guy. Had clients in Watergate and Iran/Contra, got DeLay off, and was AG of Virginia for a while. Was also US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia for a while, which is something of a big deal, especially where federal corruption cases are concerned.
Seems like maybe Pence knows what's coming and is looking to survive it.
When he was in congress one of his colleagues said about him that "There are salads in the cafeteria with higher IQs than Mike Pence", but he does have a law degree, and leaving aside the wisdom of serving the kind of religiously dumb ideology he supports, seems to know how to look after himself.
I speculate that he's secretly thrilled at these turns of events and can't believe his outrageously good fortune.
