My view of the handoff: she has a note for POTUS but he doesn't give her the handshake. Note that it would be under everyone's eyes at that point. Note also that she doesn't reach out POTUS. Maybe her instructions were to stay ready and pass the note only if POTUS shakes her hand? Then she takes another piece of paper and passes it to Pence. The exchange happens while everyone's attention is caught by POTUS and she checks this before the handoff. Note that she reaches out Pence while he's shaking the hand to the man before her, this didn't happen with POTUS. When Pence walks away she has a piece of paper in her left hand and he puts another piece of paper into the pocket, so the notes are 2. Why 2 different notes? IDK, maybe just formal changes? Like "Dear POTUS" "Dear VP" but in MIL terms? Why the strange handshake? Maybe so that someone could note it? IDK, you guys are way smarter than me.
