Conway dares jail sentence
Here we go again – saying something in the Trump world is “unprecedented.”
U.S. Office of Special Counsel Henry Kerner – a Trump appointee – said Thursday it is “unprecedented” for his office to recommend that someone of White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway’s stature should be terminated for serial violations of the 80-year-old Hatch Act. But that’s exactly what he did, adding this:
“You know what else is unprecedented? Kellyanne Conway’s behavior,” Kerner said in an interview with The Washington Post. “What kind of example does that send to the federal workforce? If you’re high enough up in the White House, you can break the law, but if you’re a postal carrier or a regular federal worker, you lose your job?”
On Friday morning, President Donald Trump blew off U.S. law yet again, saying he will not punish Conway.
