During Friday's edition of Deadline: White House, host Nicolle Wallace attempted to make the case that President Trump concocted a scheme to force Justice Kennedy off the bench so he could appoint another Supreme Court Justice.  She  brought up a Vanity Fair article talking about how Justice Kennedy's son worked at Deutsche Bank, which had a close relationship with the Trump Organization. As she sought to validate her conspiracy theory, she played a clip of the President telling Justice Kennedy at the State of the Union, "say hello to your boy."  According to Rev. Al Sharpton, one of her panelists, "I think the timing, a lot of people said, well, he wanted to do it so he could appoint someone before the midterm elections, no, it's about the Mueller investigation because it goes to the Supreme Court at whatever stage. So you've got a guy now that has his guys in the Senate saying, give us the evidence or stop this, and you're going to stack the judges now that’s going to decide."
