'If people were to get indicted or not indicted on the basis of whether or not the president likes them, we wouldn't have a republic,' Conway said.
Lawyer George Conway, the husband of Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to the president, on Friday said that if people were to be indicted based on President Donald Trump’s wishes, the United States would be a “banana republic.”
Trump ripped then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions back in September for allowing the indictments of Republican representatives Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter to go forward, threatening the GOP majority in the House at the time. Collins was accused of lying to the feds and of insider trading, while Hunter was charged with misusing $250,000 in campaign funds for his own purposes.
"Now, if people were to get indicted or not indicted on the basis of whether or not the president likes them, we wouldn't have a republic," Conway concluded."We'd have a banana republic."
