Conway's husband: 'Banana republic' if Trump got his wish to go after investigators
The Hill ^ | 3/8/2019 | John Bowden

George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, warned Friday that the U.S. would be a "banana republic" if President Trump's threats against members of the Justice Department went fulfilled.

In an address at Georgetown Law School, Conway, who is an attorney, warned that Trump's statements suggesting that top current and former Justice Department officials should be jailed for their role in the special counsel investigation were anti-democratic.

"The president has suggested that members of his own Justice Department should be locked up for investigating the president," Conway told an audience Friday.

"Now, if people were to get indicted or not indicted on the basis of whether or not the president likes them, we wouldn't have a republic," he added. "We'd have a banana republic."

The New York Times reported in November that Trump wanted to order the DOJ to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey as well as his 2016 rival Hillary Clinton. It was unclear what charges Trump reportedly wanted to pursue at the time.

The president has frequently attacked Comey, who he accused of leaking memos detailing their conversations to the press.

Trump also shared an image on social media last year of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and other law enforcement officials and Democratic figures behind bars. The president told The New York Post at the time that Rosenstein "never should have" authorized the appointment of a special counsel to investigate his campaign.

Conway emerged as a vocal critic of the president last year despite his wife's position at the White House, and has frequently battled Trump on Twitter and in op-eds.

Earlier this year, Conway suggested that reporters should assume the president to be speaking falsely under most circumstances, stating that nothing Trump said could be taken at "face value."

The attorney also warned earlier in the week that Trump could face impeachment if reports of his involvement in pressuring the Justice Department to block a merger of Time Warner and AT&T proved to be true.

Maybe it has something to do with the contents of his “legal briefs”.

I think we can safely say George Conway is the worst example of a husband to a political wife we’ve ever seen sans one

And the former rapist in Chief was at least very loyal to his wife’s political ambition

This man needs he ass beat

Honestly

Make up sex after a long marriage is a unicorn ....lol
Or pot at the end of the rainbow

Women only give make up sex when they are still at the reeling you in stage

Once ring and kids are acquired make up sex is rare

I miss those days

If I asked my rib for make up sex she’d laugh ...belly laugh

Our disagreements are over when she is ready(tired of punishing me)

Not before...,

Spooning her and whispering sweet nothings in her ear only gets an elbow in my not so tiny gut

“I’ve got to get up with the kids don’t be an old goat”

Something like that..lol

Maybe Mrs Smith is different and then God love ya dear

Don’t try to use logical arguments, our “government” does not operate on logic.

Kellyanne needs to put a sock in George’s mouth, or just sock him.
