re: #22 The Vicious Babushka

Even if Trump gets impeached or 25thed, the entire administration from Pence on down is “Fruit of the Poison Tree”

One way this plays out… if there’s even a couple molecules of integrity left is this:

Pressure mounts on Trump. Pence resigns, whether because info came out about him that causes a problem or because of an unidentified “health concern”. Congressional leadership tells Trump “this is who you’re appointing as VP, no one else will be acceptable” (it should be bipartisan, but since confirmation requires only a majority in each house, the GOP could do it on their own). New untainted VP is sworn in. Trump is impeached and removed. Untainted VP becomes president, vows not to run in 2020, replaces entire cabinet.
