It is interesting that democRat candidate Julian Castro was actually found to have violated the Hatch Act — and not only did no one pay attention, he wasn’t even punished! The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary admitted that he made a mistake but also said he did not intend to break the law. Yeah right Sarcasm off. He was let off the hook by President Obama.

But one Republican, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), who recently called for Trump's impeachment, voted in favor of the subpoena.

Known Offshorer, anti American and anti Constitutionalist, Justin AMash, wants Trump's council to the president muzzled by the legislative branch.

FUJA.

I doubt that the Hatch Act even applies to her. Even it its language could be stretched to apply, application would be an unconstitutional violation of separation of powers. Everything a President says and does is necessarily political, so how can any President do what he is elected to do if his close staff is muzzled? Barr can write her an air-tight legal memo insupport of her not showjng.

Ignore Subpoena and tell Secret Service to keep folks away.

Nearly every member of the Obama admin violated the Hatch Act, as has every other admin in our history.

Now, they want to do something about it?

House Oversight Authorizes Subpoena for Kellyanne Conway Over the Hatch Act.

She will undoubtedly tell these demo assholes to go pound sand...and rightly so.

Next these Democrat loons will try to accuse Trump of violating the Hatch Act. After all, he’s a government employee, too.

But to hear the left & their media lackeys talk,Trump & his advisors, including KellyAnne, shouldn’t be allowed to talk politics or call out threats to our national security, which is what the Dem Party has become.

They should sit back quietly and allow our country & its citizens to be attacked & undermined by real traitors.

The whole Russian “collusion” nonsense was an attempt to sabotage a lawfully elected President’s interactions with Putin, Russians, and world leaders in general.

Such interactions are what he’s SUPPOSED to do, he’s the friggin’ President!

Kellyanne gets subpoened, but Samantha Power and her ilk skate for the same practices.

House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings WRT a subpoena for White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway b/c of "egregious, repeated, and very public violations” of the ethics law. "Here, we have a clear-cut case of a federal employee violating federal law over and over and over again,” Cummings (D-MD) alleged.

After Trump stunned the world with his win over Hillary Clinton, the observations of Samantha Power----
a UN Ambassador-----and those emailing her on her official government account.....turned more vitriolic.

The attack on Trump was not individuals acting alone.
The sinister plot was orchestrated by a sitting president with plenty to hide.

The Halfrican desperately needed Hillary to win......to sweep the wrongdoing under the rug. US intel was used for sinister purposes.

REMINDER US intel is there to protect the safety and security of Americans. It is not a political tool.

the vindictive Samantha Powers Unmasked Over 260 Americans During 2016
Red State ^ | 9:00 pm on May 25, 2019 | Elizabeth Vaughn / FR Posted by E. Pluribus Unum

When U.S. intelligence agencies gather information on foreigners, often the name of a U.S. citizen or entity will be collected. Under current U.S. law, information about innocent citizens gathered in this way is referred to as incidental collection. Their names and data must be masked to protect their privacy. Authorized government officials, under certain conditions, may “unmask” the identity of an individual. In October 2017, Powers testified before a closed session of the House Intelligence Committee. Then Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) spoke to Fox News’ Brett Baier afterward and said:

Her testimony is they [the unmasking requests] may be under my name, but I did not make those requests. I think if she were on your show, she would say those requests to unmask may have been attributed to her, but they greatly exceed by an exponential factor the requests she actually made…So, that’s her testimony, and she was pretty emphatic about it.

So, we’ve got to get to the bottom of that. If there is someone else making requests on behalf of a principal in the intelligence community, we need to know that because we’re getting ready to reauthorize a program that’s really important to the country, but also has a masking component to it. When John Bolton served at the United Nations, he “unmasked” the identities of three individuals. In the year leading up to the 2016 presidential election, then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Powers unmasked over 260 Americans.

On September 20, 2017, Fox News reported that the remarkable number of Americans who had been unmasked at Powers’ request “was an attempt to uncover associates of President Trump. She was ‘unmasking’ at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for every working day in... (Excerpt) Read more at redstate.com ...

(HAT TIP PIASA--Update: JW Sues for Unmasking Targeting Trump Team | Feb 16, 2018 |
Quoting Tom Fitton --- responding to a FOIA request, we were told by the NSC in May 2017 that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama's National Security Advisor, Susan Rice (onetime UN Ambassador) of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.

This is right up there with the allegation theory that Susan Rice forged her UN successor, Samantha Power’s,
name to authorize unmaskings. Obama and HRC ordered the unmasking, and Rice obediently forged the signatures.

Partners in crime......UN Amb Powers, Hillary's successor,
Secy of State Kerry, Obama, NSC's Rice (Power's predecessor as UN Amb).

Now have DOJ indict former officials Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et al. for multiple abuses of power and violations of the Hatch Act. When leftards protest tell them, we’ll let go of your left ball when it bursts and you’re screaming in agony. Then we’ll hang Hillary. Oh, and pardon Conway and Flynn.
