Bannon: Pence is "ratting" Trump out. Not lying. "Ratting". Gangsters. What a Hell they will make of America when they get back in power with only their malice and ruthlessness as constraint.

Bannon: Pence is "ratting" Trump out. Not lying. "Ratting". Gangsters. What a Hell they will make of America when they get back in power with only their malice and ruthlessness as constraint.
I have maybe a little sympathy for Pence, but only a tiny bit. He is a fool whose return for surrendering his soul turned out to be a hollow, papier-macher counterfeit piniata with no candy inside. Still prisoner of the corrupt appetite that allowed them to gull him in the first place, he ever longs for the promised nugatory reward. Yet the stench of knowing his acts have parted him forever from any hope of attainment fills his nostrils with each breath.
And this is forever. Unlike an opiate addict, he has not even the prospect of going through cold turkey to a place of less anguish. The longing only intensifies with knowledge it is beyond reach.
I think of him as a kind of madman whose drug abuse has afflicted him with incessant voices. that taunt him for his folly, like implacable furies. The only thing he can do is try once in a while to say something aloud to sort of drown them out. But of course to no avail. And try to pretend that the horrible story really never actually happened, or it's an entirely different story with some sort of fifth act redemption because it's part of an inscrutable Plan. What you tell yourself knowing it is false.
And if he is actually the sort of Christian he purports to be, he necessarily worries that the Hell he has made for this may be followed by a Hell to come.

What a fuck-up!
Excellent point on "ratting" meaning that one's comments are consequential.
But from the criminal mind it means, why the hell are you giving us up to the law?
