Trumps claims of executive privilege have failed and Judge orders Pence to be compelled to testify about conversations he had with POTUS Trump about January 6.
However it is noted, Pence could still appeal and assert his own privilege as President of the Senate for his own actions on January 6 itself.
I don't think the Framers really thought out these privilege arguments much, but I guess if 2 or more branches of government are already engaged in illegal collusion you're already fucked in the a as a citizen anyway right? The madness it feels like that Pence might have more Legislative Branch privilege to not testify than Trump has Exectutive Privelege to not testify. However iirc Lindsay Graham already tried to weasel out of testifying (and failed) under the Speech and Debate clause in Article I.
And to think the last hurdle to anything sticking to Trump is still the court that's been getting packed since Scalia. Given their recent rulings I wouldn't be surprised if the Roberts court came out with "it's not historically traditional to prosecute former presidents, therefore we won't" - yes, the Roberts court cited History and Tradition in Dobbs v Jackson to overturn Roe vs Wade, and in Bruen it recently ruled along the same line of History and Tradition to render null a heap of gun regulations across the country, just last month:
I might have already mentioned this case earlier in the thread or some other, and if so I'm sorry, actually only heard the report about it this morning and it still blows me away that the United States legal system is going to come apart at the seams soon because these chucklefucks want to enshrine literally "the most dangerous phrase in business" as the reason why we no longer allow the Legislature(s) to Legislate. And they're **** republicans I was told they knew how the **** to Business. And their best reason for defeating abortion and gun rights is, 'well we understand that's the intent of the law that the lawmakers wrote and got signed into law but in our opinion... that's not the way we've always done things, you can't just ... make new laws, that's ridiculous.'
