MSNBC contributor and former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks presented a way to remove President Trump from office and pave the way for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to assume the Oval Office: impeach Vice President Mike Pence first and offer the president a deal.
Joining the network's AM Joy on Saturday, Wine-Banks was asked if Congress should look to impeach Trump first or turn their eyes to Pence instead. In response, she suggested going after Pence first and giving Trump the option to either replace him before being impeached himself — so that a Republican can remain in the White House — or decline and let Pelosi take over.
"You could impeach Pence first," Wine-Banks stated. "The problem is that Donald Trump then has to name his replacement. But I think that maybe a deal could be struck where he was told, 'If you don’t make a replacement, then Nancy Pelosi does become president. And so, you are going to be impeached and convicted. You need to make this replacement so that the proper party remains in power.'"

Preposterous. The American people would realize what’s going on and all hell would break loose.
What has Pence done that is impeachable?
He won’t eat alone with a woman not his wife, which is a blatant violation of the civil rights laws. [/sarc]
He got elected.
My son has one more flight tomorrow, and he is done with USAF IFT. 😁👍
What are you doing up at this hour? 😆
In this fantasy scenario, how do they get the Republican-controlled Senate to convict both Pence and Trump?
Wow! This gal should write for the Babylon Bee.
The day the Inquiry started Chris Matthews said Pence must be impeached too. You knew then that was the bait thrown at Nancy Pelosi. Otherwise we have just over a year left til the presidential election
These cretins sound like removal of these men only needs a wave of a wand. They are NOT going to get the 67 Senators needed to pull this off.
Idiot white folk
Exactly. These people seem to think we would just watch that happen.
NBC is jumping something much larger than ‘the shark’.
This is so ludicrous, the brain hurts from the thought; just
reading such outlandish plots is enough to blind the reader.
Nanny P has a part for her character. HOWEVER, it is not this particular one.
BTW, do agree it is wise to be informed as to any strategy our
adversaries might use. Perhaps first we must consider their mental condition and know just where the are on the scale.
The Dems insist that Trump is an illegitimate president because he didn’t win the popular vote. But the same Dems would be fine with installing Pelosi as president without having received a single popular vote.
Got it.
Thank you for naming ANOTHER EVIL DEMOCRAT!
“And so, you are going to be impeached and convicted. You need to make this replacement so that the proper party remains in power.”
Arrogant presumptuous bitch.
It’s a wet dream of hers. The USMC Reserves are on alert to deal with internal problems so any machinations on removing this POTUS are very foolish.
Must be a joke. Pence is part of the Establishment.
I have thought from the beginning that this impeachment issues is about ousting Trump and Pence so Nancy could make history as the first woman president.
She needs to instead make history as the first woman Speaker of the House imprisoned/executed for treason and graft.
I don’t think it’s idiotic at all. We know how “they” are. We know how power hungry Pelosi is. Daddy was mafia so skullduggery is in her blood.
