BREAKING: US Office of Special Counsel Recommends Kellyanne Conway Be Removed From Office For Hatch Act Violations.. ( Full title)..

The US Office of Special Counsel said in a report given to President Trump on Thursday that his counselor Kellyanne Conway has repeatedly violated the Hatch Act and recommended her removal from federal service.

The Hatch Act bars federal employees from engaging in political activity.

“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.

Not part of the Special Counsel’s scope. If Barr asked, it would have to be considered.

This 'special counsel' is not mulehaed's group.

This is very special counsel, that is similar to the inspector general in that all it can do is make recommendations and go sit in the corner.

Not in their official capacity. But the law should be applied evenly. Every government employee who has disparaged Trump should be fired.

Valarie Plame was using her position in the CIA to throw stink bombs against the Bush Administration. Who remembers how she was made into some sort of victim?

Not just WH policy, but the question should have a legal intent/basis.

Simply responding to a question about Joe Biden’s “Green Deal” isn’t a violation. That’s why NO ONE in the history of the Act has ever been formally charged.

Jeffrey Missal was fired after contending that the department violated environmental regulations to facilitate Arctic oil exploration.

Special Counsel Henry J. Kerner... took action to protect Jeffrey Missal

Kathryn Sebelious was charged, but they didn’t say she should be removed from office. The Admin just paid a fine and made reclassifed her speech as political.

There’s some dripping irony here. It looks like government employees in this department are using their time to engage in POLITICS.

...accuse your opponent of what you’re doing while you’re doing it.

Hasn’t the US Office of Special Counsel closed down yet?

Why would they?

Yes, her husband was the first thing that popped in my mind. I didn’t read the article, but are they targeting HER because of HER HUSBAND?

Why would anybody stay married to such a creep?

That’s not loading for me.

I was under the impression that each new special council set up his own team and offices.

I was not aware that there was a permanent special council’s office (which I believe you are trying to convey).

It’s amazing to me the things that emanate from such places, knowing what the Obama team did and received no such complaints. (At least not to my knowledge)
