Ivanka Trumps Endorsement Of Goya Foods Puts Her In Serious Legal Trouble

The Clinton foundation was a large charity which did a lot of good.
You're funny, Ted. By all accounts, those charities were rabbit holes and very little money ever made it to actually helping people in Haiti.

Everyone who gave generous to Hillary got their favors granted by the USA. Hillary was just another democrat politician who was for sale, just as the Clintons sold us out to the Chinese in the 1990s.

Lemme guess: you never heard of John Huang, Chinagate or Charlie la Lin Trie (sp?) either.
 
Show me in here where it allows Chucky to use the Capital to endorse a particular company while in his official capacity.

Before you do, please know I can show where it is prohibited under multiple sections.

GO!


Unless it's prohibited, it's allowed.

Show us where it's prohibited.
I accept your concession.

You claimed to be able to show where it's prohibited. I guess that's just you making stuff up again
First one:

Read it. I see nothing in it that prevents this.
If you disagree, quote the rule.
It's not my problem my link has too many words for you to comprehend.
I read them all. None of them prohibit this.

If there were, you'd provide the language. The fact that you won't proves I'm right.
:dig: :dig: :dig:
Thanks for proving I was right.

Ms. Trump’s Goya tweet is clearly a violation of the government’s misuse of position regulation, 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702. Ms. Trump has had ethics training. She knows better. But she did it anyway because no one in this administration cares about government ethics,” Shaub says.






What elected position does she have?


Oh, right. None.

Goodbye.
She’s a government employee which is exactly who the law covers.

Wrong, she is her dads advisor. She gets no pay.
Her pay is irrelevant. She is a government employee.

Not clicking with what an "employee" is, are you? She also wasn't paid for promoting Goya.

OK, so Obama was paid. And he promoted the Chevy Volt. What should have happened to him in your view?
She’s an employee. It doesn’t matter if she’s paid or not. She signed up as an employee. You can be an unpaid employee, kiddo. That doesn’t exempt one from ethics laws.

The president is specifically exempted from the law in question.

You're still only addressing half the equation and obviously doing it on purpose because you realize you're wrong.

If she were PAID by Goya, that would be an argument. She's benefiting from being an unpaid advisor.

But she's making nothing off any of this. That's where your argument falls apart, and you know it, which is why you're dancing and evading addressing the whole picture at once

§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.

She's not allowed to endorse products.

Right. She didn't gain. That's the point I keep making. Do you understand Goya didn't pay her? You don't, do you?

Hunter on the other hand got his daddy to redirect millions of dollars his way and you don't give a shit
The law specifically says they're not allowed to endorse any product regardless of personal gain.


You might want to sign up for a remedial reading class, that's not what the law says.

.

Yes, it does.
(c) Endorsements. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office to endorse any product, service or enterprise except:

(1) In furtherance of statutory authority to promote products, services or enterprises; or

(2) As a result of documentation of compliance with agency requirements or standards or as the result of recognition for achievement given under an agency program of recognition for accomplishment in support of the agency's mission.



Did you read the title of the law?

Use of public office for private gain.

ROFLMFAO, what do you fail to understand, there was no private gain, dip.

.

Does a company benefit from having celebrities endorse their product?


WOW, now you're trying to move the goal posts because you're getting your ass kicked. Good job commie, your deflection doesn't even warrant a response since it's COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC.

.
Nope. It’s exactly on topic.

The title is call use of office for private gain.

Endorsement of a product provides that company with a gain.
Gonna be fun watching you spin this..............

Nope. The law covers executive branch, not Congress.
Ahhhh................so you went from "Govt employee" to "only the executive branch".

Care to quote where it is limited to the executive branch? :iyfyus.jpg: :iyfyus.jpg: :iyfyus.jpg:
It’s in the definitions.


Read the definition of employee and tell me what you find.

colfax_m is now trying to sell that members of Congress are not "Govt employees".

You can't make this stuff up, folks.
:dig: :dig: :dig: :dig: :dig:
Did you look up the definition of a government employee?

What did you find?
Don't have to look it up to know Schumer is on my payroll and is a govt employee.

Sorry for your colossal ignorance.

My ignorance? You're the one that refuses to actually read the law in question. If you did, you'd realize you're wrong which is why you won't do it.

Coward.


Keep telling us how Senators and members of Congress aren't paid by the govt, Fuckwit. :abgg2q.jpg:

I never said Congressmen weren't paid by the government.

I said they're not considered employees by the definitions set out by this law. You'd know that if you actually read the law, but you won't.
Hmmmm............

Don't throw that back out running around with those goalposts.

Im not moving the goalposts. I’m telling you this law only applies to the executive branch.

I provided you with the link that defines who is covered by the law but you refused to read it.
:dig: :dig: :dig: :dig:

The law only applies to the executive branch. You’d know this if you weren’t such a wimp and actually read it.


(h) Employee means any officer or employee of an agency, including a special Government employee. It includes officers but not enlisted members of the uniformed services. It includes employees of a State or local government or other organization who are serving on detail to an agency, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3371, et seq. For purposes other than subparts B and C of this part, it does not include the President or Vice President. Status as an employee is unaffected by pay or leave status or, in the case of a special Government employee, by the fact that the individual does not perform official duties on a given day.

Didn't you just prove the WH Office is not an "agency"? Wouldn't that make all this crap MOOT?

.
What? No. The White House Office is an executive agency. It's just an executive agency that is specifically exempted from the nepotism laws we were discussing.


That makes zero sense, because the president and members of congress are NOT excluded form the nepotism laws. So according to the OLC opinion that means the WH Office is, because it is not considered an agency.

Watch: Six Years Ago Obama Promised to Buy a Chevy Volt. Now It Is Dead

Yeah, but remember how the Democrats all wanted him investigated for that? Hmm ... I don't either ...

They will say as an elected official he isn't beholden to those rules. Of course, Trump's daughter isn't a civil service employee of the government, so her application vis a vis the law is probably hazy as well.

They got their soundbite, that's all they care about.
Yes. Ivanka is an employee of the government.

A civil servant with a title?
I believe her title is special advisor to the president.

Paid? Civil Service? Senate Confirmed?
No. No. No.

Any other questions?

The law they are quoting probably applies to a specific type of employee. Any idea which one it applies to?

It applies to almost everyone in government:

Yeah, but remember how the Democrats all wanted him investigated for that? Hmm ... I don't either ...

They will say as an elected official he isn't beholden to those rules. Of course, Trump's daughter isn't a civil service employee of the government, so her application vis a vis the law is probably hazy as well.

They got their soundbite, that's all they care about.
Yes. Ivanka is an employee of the government.

A civil servant with a title?
I believe her title is special advisor to the president.

Paid? Civil Service? Senate Confirmed?
No. No. No.

Any other questions?

The law they are quoting probably applies to a specific type of employee. Any idea which one it applies to?

It applies to almost everyone in government:
(h) Employee means any officer or employee of an agency, including a special Government employee. It includes officers but not enlisted members of the uniformed services. It includes employees of a State or local government or other organization who are serving on detail to an agency, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3371, et seq. For purposes other than subparts B and C of this part, it does not include the President or Vice President. Status as an employee is unaffected by pay or leave status or, in the case of a special Government employee, by the fact that the individual does not perform official duties on a given day.

Where did you get the quote from?
The law that we are talking about.


So what agency does she belong to?

Executive office of the president.

is that actually an agency as per federal code?
Yes.

Proof?

The funny thing is even if this ends up as an "ethics" violation, the likely penalty is some form of reprimand.

Of course the real reason for your butt hurt is she's supporting an AMERICAN company.

You need proof that the White House Office is part of the executive branch?

Of course we both know it has nothing to do with being an “American” company since Trump has no problem bashing any number of American companies whose owners don’t agree with him.
 
The law specifically says they're not allowed to endorse any product regardless of personal gain.

If you read the post you quoted, it talks about personal gain all through the statute.

So what do you say should happen to Obama then for endorsing the volt? Or Hunter for profiting off his dad's job as VP?

Um ... er ... that's different, those are Democrats ...

It was obviously a finger in the eye of the left. Good luck with getting that conviction, LOL
 
Read the bolded section very slowly:
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.

She's not allowed to endorse products.

Hunter Biden wasn't an employee of government. The president is exempt from these regulations.

There's no endorsing products by government officials which would provide a gain to the person with the product.
 
No it doesn't. Read it for yourself.


§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.

She's not allowed to endorse products.

The regulation specifically exempts the president and vice president. I've posted this numerous times before.
 
And reading comprehension seems to be beyond yours.

Sorry kid, the entire context is "personal gain".

Now we're getting down to it. What gain did Ivanka have from that?

And what do you think should happen to Obama for endorsing the volt as you're such a man of the rule of law?

Biden and Hunter should flat out be in jail for what they did, huh?
