Federal Watchdog: Kellyanne Conway should be fired

[Seawytch]

I hope she doesn't get fired.

This wacky thing she has going on with her anti-Trumper hubby is too much fun to watch.

While I agree with you that their public sex games are darkly fun to watch, the ethics should concern everyone. As someone who works for an elected official, it concerns me.

 

[theHawk]

So....shouldn't maxine waters, obama, clinton, biden, romney, kerry also be fired on the same grounds? Why yes. But...but...but

hi gracie!!!

the law broken is for executive branch staff

The Hatch Act of 1939, officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president, vice-president, and certain designated high-level officials,[1] from engaging in some forms of political activity. It went into law on August 2, 1939. The law was named for Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico. It was most recently amended in 2012.[2]

Is that a fact? Name the exact crime that was broken.

Purportedly, the Hatch Act.

And nowhere in the Hatch Act does it outlaw criticizing political opponents.

Wouldn't it be smarter to ask the OSC the exact crime that was broken? They're the ones that made the charge. I believe their reasons are published.

Absolutely nothing is published in the news articles.

Such activity is considered political activity and cannot be engaged by certain members of the Executive branch under certain circumstances.

Here's just one example the OSC cited:

On December 6, 2017, Ms. Conway appeared in her official capacity on CNN’s New Day and discussed why voters should support Republican Roy Moore, and not support Democrat Doug Jones, in the Alabama special election for U.S. Senate.​

5 U.S. Code § 7324. Political activities on duty; prohibition

(a) An employee may not engage in political activity—

(1) while the employee is on duty;

(2) in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an individual employed or holding office in the Government of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof;

(3) while wearing a uniform or official insignia identifying the office or position of the employee; or

(4) using any vehicle owned or leased by the Government of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

^ still doesn’t outlaw speaking against an opposing political party.

Are you idiots going to claim that DoD officials speaking out against terrorists are violating the Hatch Act too? After all, the Dems are pro-Islamic radicals now.

The Hatch Act only covers those who are working in the Executive branch of government, but it excludes the president, vice president and certain other officials, and she ain't one of them.

And, she can't take a partisan side while she is on duty, at work, or acting as a representative of the WH. Read the information posted in the link.

But, if you think about it, it's sort of like what the restrictions are that are placed on the military. If you are in uniform, you cannot attend a political rally for a certain candidate (would give the wrong impression that your service supports that candidate), as well as you are restricted in what kind of protests you can participate in, as well as what you are allowed to say publicly on social media.

No, speaking out against terrorists is not "political activity" Speaking out against political opponents during elections is.

The President’s staff can speak out against political opponents all they want, whether they are Dem or Republicans.

When did a President's advisers lose their freedom of speech?
Obama's advisers made all kinds of political statements and the Democrats didn't demand that they lose their right to freedom of speech.
If the Dirty Democrats getaway with this we will hold them to this.

When did they have restrictions placed on their speech? The day that they accepted the job of working in the Executive branch.

I know that I lost a lot of my 1st Amendment rights when I joined the military. I was not allowed to attend political rallies in uniform, had to check with the PAO to see if I was allowed to go to protests or not, as well as had to watch what I said on social media. I got my rights back when I retired.
