OP/ED:
Opinion | Kellyanne Conway violated the Hatch Act. Will she be charged?
"The special counsel is facing the biggest test of his career. I’m referring not to Robert S.Mueller III but to Henry Kerner of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), the small agency that investigates Hatch Act violations. That law prohibits executive branch employees from using their government positions to influence elections, which is precisely what presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway did last week. Whether Kerner will enforce the law is another matter.
When Conway appeared on“Fox and Friends” last Monday, it was clear she was doing so in an official capacity: One of the show’s hosts introduced her by her title and she articulated the administration’s views as she stood in front of the White House. In discussing whether the president has enough votes to get a tax bill through the Senate, Conway (without prompting) attacked Doug Jones, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Alabama. “And Doug Jones in Alabama?” she said, “Folks, don’t be fooled. He’ll be a vote against tax cuts. He’s weak on crime, weak on borders. He’s strong on raising your taxes. He’s terrible for property owners.”
Conway’s intent was clear enough already, but she decided to make it clearer. “I’m telling you that we want the votes in the Senate to get this tax bill through,” she admitted. Playing down the sexual misconduct allegations against Jones’s Republican opponent Roy Moore, Conway added, “If the media were really concerned about all these allegations and that was what this was truly about with the Democrats, Al Franken would be on the ash heap of bygone, half-funny comedians.” After a startled “Fox and Friends” host pointed out that even the Republican National Committee had withdrawn support for Moore, Conway doubled down on her advocacy against Jones. “Nobody ever says his name, and they pretend he’s some kind of conservative Democrat, and he’s not,” she said."
on occasion?...in the PO we used to have open discussions on the work room floor while putting our routes up...she gave her opinion...you can do that........presidents and congress does that all the time.....as long as she doesnt get involved personally
Yes, as a government worker, you can have an opinion, and on occasion you can express it.
HOWEVER........................if you are a government employee, you can't express support for one candidate over another while acting in your official capacity (she was in her official capacity in the interviews), or use government resources, or state support for one person over another on government property (one interview was on WH grounds). You also can't do that if you are military and in uniform.
