If pence is what I have thought he is this whole time, then the envelope proves Q team knows and would NEVER place the completion of the plan squarely on his shoulders.
My thoughts are that this is an easy way or the hard type situation like the POTUS call with GA gov.
They give pence the Gen. Rommel treatment for his cooperation, assuring him that L.Wood is not fucking around.
Prove to him he has no safe way out of this. There is no political future and will be arrested for treason. Then present him with the option that POTUS will now speak of him with favorable tones and allow him to retire from politics after sitting in the background of the 2020 administration and his family will be protected from DS fall out.
(potentially a Rommel deal wrapped in a Carlo Rizzi deal?)

If pence comes through for the good of the plan, he will still always be viewed as someone who was forced into doing the right things, never as a hero.
