Discussion: Gingrich Suggests Trump Simply Pardon Family That Breaks Anti-Nepotism Law

He’s nuts.

This type of presidential behavior would be impeachable.

Richard Painter:

If the pardon power allows [the president to pardon himself, or to cause other members of his administration to engage in illegal conduct or unconstitutional conduct], the pardon power allows the president to become a dictator."

And that, my friends, is the very intent of the Orange Menace and his backroom thugs.

Ain’t going to happen, whatever the intent.

I don’t think Newt understands how laws work.

Absolute rubbish!

And to the faithless electors in OR. May Bernie’s birds fly up your asses and build nests made out of razor wire in your transverse colon.

Well, that’s a given–but, instead of the entity, what do you think of what it said?

I kinda like Newt’s approach. We are now at a point where our POS President elect can do just about anything he wants and Congress will do jack shit. He will be allowed to run wild until after the 2018 elections when the GOP begins to contemplate impeachment but they will wimp out for fear of their deplorable base.

I can think of one simple way to separate Trump’s business interests from the power of the Presidency… In fact, it would also maintain a firewall between all of Trump’s other issues from the Presidency…

It’s never too late to drop out, Donald…

I beg your pardon, for an office near the Rose Garden.

It talks?

Newt keeps outdoing himself in demonstrating how unfit he is and always was for a leadership role in this country. Go back under that rock you often hide under.

Slippery and slimy, just as one would expect of a newt.

It may be impeachable but impeachment proceedings start in the House and I haven’t heard anything that suggests the House has any interest in trying to control Agent Orange. They will give him a pass so long as he signs all the regressive legislation they put on his desk.
