“Pence, his aides, and staff were locked out of their offices in the capitol complex during the insurrection because their access badges had been DEACTIVATED the morning of the attack, according to sources familiar with the incident. According to one source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to an ongoing investigation, Pence’s team huddled in a loading dock, unable to access their offices, and started planning contingencies for a constitutional crisis and how to remove the president. The access badges worked that morning before the mob entered the capitol, but once Pence was removed from the chamber floor, their badges no longer worked.”

“Access was restored later that night after the threat was over. Access had been shut off to the VP Office Complex and the White House as well during the same time frame. That is where the new information I have ends, however, I want to remind everyone of a few publicly available details. In ‘I Alone Can Fix It’, Pence refused to get into a car with secret service during the attack. He said ‘I trust you, Tim, but you’re not driving the car. If I get in that vehicle, you guys are taking off. I’m not getting in the car.’ Additionally, in the book ‘Peril’ we learned that Pence asked Dan Quayle multiple times if there was ANY way he could do Donald’s bidding. After 3 rebuffs, Pence finally said to him ‘You don’t know the position I’m in'” reports ‘Mueller She Wrote’ podcaster Allison Gill.
