Federal Watchdog: Kellyanne Conway should be fired

[Faun]

Purportedly, the Hatch Act.

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.​

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.

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 according to the law. Your ignorance of that law really makes no difference.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

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

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.

The Dems are now just all out Fascists. They can’t stand free speech or anyone questioning their Agenda. They are SO desperate to silence opposition and to humiliate the President or anyone associated with him.

You don't know what the **** you're talking about.

 

[edward37]

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.

A lib concerned about ethics?

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

 

[Centrista]

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

The federal watchdog is not a Democrats guy.

He is a Trump appointee. A Trump appointed ethics investigator recommended dismissal of KellyAnn Conway.

 

[Gracie]

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.

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:

So...someone give me another lesson:
Does this not pertain to Maxine Waters and her mouth yapping about shit that shouldn't be yapped about?

Maxine Waters is in Congress, not the Executive branch, so the Hatch Act does not apply to her. It only applies to those who work in the Executive branch.

Guess civics wasn't your best class in HS, was it?

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.

 

[busybee01]

Nice paywall link.

How about posting the contents of this article?

They don't believe in free speech, only free stuff, are you surprised?

She is paid by the taxpayers. She is subject to the same rules that executive branch employees are subject to.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I hope she doesn't get fired.

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?

What??? The OSC (Office of Special Counsel) that reported these illegal acts and recommended her firing is led by Henry Kerner... A nominee of Donald J Trump. Trump's a Democrat again?

 

[BS Filter]

This is typical of Trump and his corrupt, dishonest administration: no respect for the law.

That's the funniest post I've seen in quite a while.

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.

Violations of the Hatch Act.

It bars executive branch staff from engaging in partisan political activities. Criticizing political opponents is a partisan political activity. She is paid by the taxpayers.

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

You are a piece of corrupt garbage that has learned how to walk and talk. Her speech is not free. Taxpayers pay for her speech and she will follow the rules. Trump and garbage like you are the fascists.
