Gingrich suggests Trump pardon advisers who break the law http://hill.cm/3TujSoA

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.

Gingrich also suggested that Congress change ethics laws so Trump can avoid any conflicts of interest that his global business empire may pose.

“We’ve never seen this kind of wealth in the White House, and so traditional rules don’t work,” he said.

“We’re going to have to think up a whole new approach.”

4. Yeah it's fine when their side does it...

But like I said - conservatives have become the thin skinned whiny crybabies they accuse us of being. They have their own news network because they can't stand the "liberal media". They're staging a 15 year War zone Christmas because department stores are mean to them and don't respect baby Jesus. And now they want to go full dictator because they don't agree with us. The hypocrisy reeks!
