Note: Trump, Pence and Flynn 'say' that Flynn lied to Pence and that Pence lied to Trump. If the three of them are working in tandem and on the same team, then its possible that this is the cover story.
I saw the initial announcements and interviews where Pence and Trump say that Flynn lied to Pence. I never saw anything that Flynn admitted that he lied to Pence, and in more recent times, he's made it clear that it was actually Pence who lied to Trump. I never saw Pence say that he said he himself lied to Trump.
I don't see any evidence of a cover story. As far as I'm concerned, when Pence made an absolutely disgusting speech on Jan 6 saying that "We the people" does not refer to every American citizen, but rather specifically to congress, and congress has all the power, and the people nothing, he became dead to me.
Sounds like you know more than me. I'll admit, I'm working with a limited understanding.
By 'cover story', I actually meant simply 'a story'. As in, DJT Pence and Flynn are possibly weaving a story, one that was necessary to set certain things in motion. The distinction here being between actual real events (which it is often impossible for us to know, as we only see what we are told) and narrative events (impacts that are generated in the population as to what we 'think' is happening, and how we respond.)
I appreciate your stance on Pence. I have not and do not follow him or that aspect of US politics that closely. However, based on the overall view of things, I guess I have my biases re: Pence, aka that his role is very much kayfabe and that he's the opposite of how many paint him: as a terrible treasonous back-stabbing deep state scum bucket. If he is NOT that scumbucket, and he's playing a <necessary> role, then he's got to be an absolute patriot, because one way or another, he's sacrificing his entire life and reputation.

Do we know what actually happened?

I guess we stay tuned and see how it plays out.
