(9,874 posts)Trump doesn't have to "appoint" or any of the other forbidden actions, just let him do it. Didn't Bill Clinton put Hillary to work on healthcare without any formal appointment? What's the difference?

He used to give money to Democrats. Maybe he will help keep things from blowing up.
Surprised Bannon goes along with this though.
