Federal Watchdog: Kellyanne Conway should be fired

[busybee01]

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.

YES We ALL have more ethics than the crooked swine you put into the WH

The barry admin...the most corrupt in U.S. history.

The Trump Administration is corrupt as numerous cabinet officials have been forced to resign because of unethical conduct.

US Office of Special Counsel Recommends Kellyanne Conway Be Removed From Office For Hatch Act Violations

“The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) calls on President Donald J. Trump to remove Ms. Conway from her federal position immediately,” the agency wrote in a letter to the White House. “[K]ellyanne Conway violated the Hatch Act on numerous occasions by disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity during television interviews and on social media,” the letter stated.

The OSC cited two separate television interviews in which Kellyanne Conway advocated for and against candidates in the 2017 Alabama special election for US Senate.

It has 122 employees as of 2014 and a budget of $20.6 million.


Where in the hell were they during the Obama administration?


More Deep State types trying to take down the president by going after his close advisors?

More corruption in the Trump Administration. If she wants to talk then go on the RNC payroll. Quit taking taxpayer dollars.

LOL, wait what is the act preventing elected democrats from launching critical attacks against US citizens...

Off topic, post your own thread with evidence to prove your partisan hack.

She violated the law by criticizing Democrats while acting as a government official.

Are there any far leftists who aren't full on fascists these days?

Absolutely ridiculous.

Your ideology is total bullshit. What are you going to do centrista, report me?

I did. Off topic and if anyone is a fascist it is Donald Trump.

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.

“And certain other officials” doesn’t apply to her?

Are you purposely being obtuse, or are you really this stupid? No. If she was excluded from the Hatch Act, they wouldn't be saying that she has violated it.

Are “they” the Department of Justice? When was her trial for violating this “law”?

"They" are the Office of Special Counsel, led by Trump nominee Henry Kerner ("only the best people") and confirmed by a Republican Congress.

She has been lying since day one. How the hell that she convince herself?

 

[Faun]

The most inspirational females in our generation and they attack her with this crap? Sad democrats are so angry

She is enabling one of the most corrupt administrations in history and engaging in illegal activity to boot. There is nothing inspirational about that. The bleach she uses in her hair has the same effect as the one Coulter uses. It softens the brain. You are so crooked you have to be screwed into your pants every day.

"She is enabling one of the most corrupt administrations in history"

... wait ... what ... ?

How many people from this administration have been convicted of a crime?

 

[theHawk]

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

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.​

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.

Not when they are paid by the taxpayers. If she wants to engage in partisan politics then put her on the RNC payroll.

So it’s perfectly fine for Congress critters to engage in partisan politics while being paid by taxpayers, but not a Republican in the executive branch.

Yea, that makes a lot of sense.

Well “they” may want to actually read what is allowed by the Hatch Act:

These federal and D.C. employees may:

• be candidates for public office in nonpartisan elections
• register and vote as they choose
• assist in voter registration drives
• express opinions about candidates and issues
• contribute money to political organizations
• attend political fundraising functions
• attend and be active at political rallies and meetings
• join and be an active member of a political party or club
• sign nominating petitions
• campaign for or against referendum questions, constitutional amendments, municipal ordinances
• campaign for or against candidates in partisan elections
• make campaign speeches for candidates in partisan elections
• distribute campaign literature in partisan elections
• hold office in political clubs or parties

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.

A lib concerned about ethics?

YES We ALL have more ethics than the crooked swine you put into the WH

The barry admin...the most corrupt in U.S. history.

The Trump Administration is corrupt as numerous cabinet officials have been forced to resign because of unethical conduct.

Yeah?
And how many FBI agents have been shitcanned at this point for their nefarious actions regarding the FISA warrants and the Mewler report ?
Last time I checked there was around a dozen.
