| Subject: Government idiot: Gingrich suggests Trump pardon advisers who break the law Wed Dec 21, 2016 12:36 am | |
| Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich suggested that Donald Trump could pardon members of his administration who break the law.
Referring to a law that could prevent Trump from hiring his daughter and son-in-law to serve in his administration, Gingrich said on "The Diane Rehm Show" Monday morning: “In the case of the president, he has a broad ability to organize the White House the way he wants to. He also has, frankly, the power of the pardon."
"It is a totally open power, and he could simply say, 'Look, I want them to be my advisers. I pardon them if anyone finds them to have behaved against the rules. Period.' Technically, under the Constitution, he has that level of authority," he said, according to Politico.
