Remember Trump said he and Pence had the same thinking? Why did Trump pick Pence to be his VP in 2016? Did he choose some random unknown guy that had a few ties to certain people?
Trump knows Pence better than any of us. Pence had a role to play. Remember what's coming, it couldn't have happened to the fullest extent if Pence didn't "betray" Trump.
Pence could be doing what's best for the country so the Military can come in.
Trump did say during his speech it would take more courage to not do the right thing. Multiple times. It didn’t seem to make a lot of sense at the time.
I believe the same...he has a role to play
I can only hope. It feels awful, but fitting, that one of the people closest to Trump would turn on him.
I have always believed Trump and Pence balanced eachother out. One is loud and grabs our attention, the other is calm and brings us to reality. Look at the Debates. Nothing came from Debate one Trump v Biden. That brought a LOT of attention to debate one Pence V Kamala (usually no one cares and VP debate). No the attention was on crazy Kamala and Pence destroyed her
Pence was placed as the VP by Mannafort. They needed someone who could help with the evangelicals and that could help “balance” out Trump.
Pence has been the most loyal person in his orbit, asides from his children. He had no other choice than to go along with what happened on the 6th.

I've been wondering the same thing. I suppose it could go either way: we've seen some massive betrayals from the GOP over the last couple years, escalating into this election. On the other hand, if anyone is willing to take one for the team by risking his reputation in a sting operation, I would have to imagine it would be someone close to Trump in a position of trust who has shown no major signs of ambition and treachery before. I've given Pence the benefit of doubt up to Trump's tweet expressing disappointment, perhaps it won't hurt anything for me to extend that benefit for just a little longer. If this is a long con, it sounds like it'll be a good one....
