BREAKING : White House Concludes Kellyanne Conway Innocent of Ethics Violation
The White House came to the correct conclusion regarding Kellyanne Conway’s “ethics investigation” involving Ivanka’s product line.
The White House stated Kellyanne Conway innocently promoted Ivanka Trump’s product line and did not violate any ethics.
From ABC News
The White House has determined that Kellyanne Conway acted “inadvertently” and “without nefarious motive or intent” when she promoted Ivanka Trump‘s fashion line in an interview with Fox News last month, according to a White House letter to the Office of Government Ethics obtained by ABC News.
In the Feb. 28 letter to OGE Director Walter Shaub, White House deputy counsel Stefan Passantino said he met with Conway about the incident and briefed her on federal employee ethics laws.
“We concluded that Ms. Conway acted inadvertently and is highly unlikely to do so again,” he wrote. “Ms. Conway has acknowledged her understanding of the standards and has reiterated her commitment to abiding by them in the future.”
“Go buy Ivanka’s stuff,” Conway said in a Fox News interview last month. “I’m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody.”
After the incident last month, the OGE sent a letter to the White House calling for an investigation and review of Conway’s actions — which Shaub described as a “clear violation of the prohibition against misuse of position” — and recommended disciplinary action.
While the OGE can still recommend a specific penalty for Conway to the White House, that recommendation would be non-binding.
Conway said last month that the president still supported her after the episode.

May Yahweh bless the Trump family! I pray that every day! they did not need this! they could have lived very comfortably and well-liked by the world if they stayed out of the filthy political arena but they were willing to sacrifice for the benefit of the people of this country–THANK YOU TRUMP FAMILY! the hateful reaction of this world’s system indicates they are purveyors of truth:
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets
Luke 16:15… for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God
Fervently pray for the Trump family (and his team).
All Kellyanne did was make an off the cuff comment about her friend Ivanka. The whole bru ha ha was a nothingburger,but the left keeps trying for that pound of flesh. Wait till their constituents go to the polls to vote,that will be the tale of the tape so to say.
