Washington (CNN)The US Office of Special Counsel announced Tuesday that White House aide Kellyanne Conway violated the Hatch Act on two occasions by "advocating for and against candidates" in last year's Alabama Senate special election.

In a new report, the OSC special counsel, Henry Kerner, pointed to Conway's TV interviews conducted in her "official capacity" in November and December of last year. The agency said Conway "impermissibly mixed official government business with political views about candidates in the Alabama special election." >P> One of the two interviews was on CNN's "New Day," and the second was on Fox News' "Fox & Friends."

One by one ....... they are taking away people to whom Donald Trump can confide.

[Logical me]

More house shi! from CNN (communists news network)

This "OSC" is not Mueller's gang.

Additionally, this sort of finding of violation is common and inconsequential.

Where are the Hillary indictments?
Where are the Comey indictments?
Where are the rest of the Obama administration indictments?

This would be ok if it applied equally to Democrats — which it doesn’t.

[Solson]

Huh? This is hardly pulling Conway away. Furthermore the Hatch Act has never resulted in anything. Finally, if they're saying her comments about Jones from the White House grounds are impermissable, then every politician and spokesperson for the last 100 years are guilty of the Hatch Act.

What stupidity.

[rktman]

Well I guess she’s the only one ever?

Watching this story on "Outnumbered" (One Man and Eight Legs) on Fox News. This is a sad situation if they can get rid of Kellyanne Conway.

NYT --- " A year ago, few “on the outside” — a phrase perhaps tellingly favored in the Trump White House — would have guessed that Kellyanne Conway would be the one hanging on as other high-profile aides pull their rip cords ....."

Looks like all Trump's people are being erased.

Another nothing burger.

This whole episode is getting into Twilight Zone territory.

Yeah this is nonsense.

[xzins]

I doubt ot seriously. People in government are still citizens and to engage in politics is their right.

Thank you, Cboldt, for your information and your reassurance.

[TTFlyer]

Where are the Hillary indictments? Where are the Comey indictments? Where are the rest of the Obama administration indictments?

Don't ask. There never will be any.

[JonPreston]

Have no fear, Jeff Magoo is playing 8-D chess with Mueller.

[TallahasseeConservative]

This makes no sense. Presidents have endorsed and advocated for those seeking election and reelection for decades. How the hell does a Presidential Advisor doing the same, cause an issue?

[Da Coyote]

CNN?
Nope, not buying it.
Period.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

That was the point of all of this.

Not to get Trump, but to get the people around him and make sure that all the pool that he could draw from knows that they will make your life hell if you go to work for him.

[raiderboy]

This is sedition. It must be crushed. If these people want hatch act violations let us look for some.

[bgill]

Much ado about nothing. Ranks up there with her saying to buy Ivanka’s clothes last year.
