GOP House Rep: Never Say Never On Trump Pardoning Himself, We Don’t Know What Unfairness Might Happen

Mediaite reports:

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is totally, unflinchingly on board with the idea that President Donald Trump can pardon himself. And he thinks that the Commander-in-Chief possibly may need to, because the other side might not play fair.

Appearing on Your World with Neil Cavuto Monday, the Florida Congressman suggested that the Framers of the Constitution intended for the president to have the unchecked ability to pardon himself because hey, who knows if they might be the target of a WITCH HUNT or something.
