White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday turned down a request to testify before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on possible violations of the Hatch Act, opening the doors for the committee to vote on issuing a subpoena to the close ally of President Donald Trump.sent to the committee’s chairman, Rep. Elijah Cummings , the White House said it was declining the request and cited a precedent of White House staff not testifying before congressional committees.
Office of Special Counsel of multiple violations of the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in many forms of political activity.The OSC — which is separate from the office of former special counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 elections — sent Trump a report in March last year saying that Conway violated the Hatch Act by commenting in favor and against candidates in the 2017 Alabama special Senate election.
Fire her
Lawless
AlaBObama KellyannePolls GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! dont say a word!!!!!!!!! they will just twist it anyway so better off saying nothing.
Herbsistah Possibly the only time she has shut her mouth..
SethAbramson Shock,shock!
More frivolous claims of immunity. More illegal obstruction by the LalwlessPresident.
GOOD
Afraid
The House Dems need to stop playing games with WH staff, and start enforcing their constitutional oversight authority, and begin to throw in jail WH staff that refuse to testify before congress.
She thinks that she is above the law; which is intended for the lower class people.
Lock her up!
Lock her up!!! Maybe if she is arrested for ignoring a supeona and does time, others executives in the executive branch may decide to cooperate with Congressional supeonas!!! If all is legal, trump’s interference will be definite grounds 4 impeachment!!!
Lock her up !!
Good for You! How much nonsense do these J O Democrats want to put good hard working people through?
Personally I think she should be arrested for failing to appear. Who exactly does she think she is?
Why?
Lock her up.
LOCK HER UP
SethAbramson Trump is mocking the House and getting away with it.
Lock her up
She's above the law, the new Trump's America
Because she can't lie to Congress like she lies to the media.
Democrats are on a witch hunt vote the bums out
She hasn’t read the act. Typical.
🔒LOCK HER UP 🔒
If only we had a political party in a majority of one branch of the government to take strong action against illegal and unconstitutional behavior. That would be truly inspiring. I read this headline, screamed at my phone, and did nothing- I felt just like I was a Congressman.
The Constitution doesn’t apply to them. They hug the flag and then they thumb their noses at it. Typical.
SethAbramson why bother? none in this mob responds to a subpeona. time to jail them for not responding. non answers in hearings are unacceptable as well.
Alt headline, 'Trump official declines to answer questions'.
Seems as if everyone is powerless under this administration. I hope and pray that every single person who is fed up... votes
This entire administration might as well be wearing hats/placards that say “F*ck U”. They are not even pretending that they believe in laws or the constitution - or anything besides how much $$ they can stuff in their pockets and how many Pres O laws they can overturn.
Of course she’s going to decline KellyannePolls knows she’s guilty of violating the law. She needs to realize that realDonaldTrump will not be president 4 ever and history will not treat her well. Her children will know how rotten she is. She won’t be able to hide that
Lock her up
As if she would, or could, tell the truth about anything. I've known people that were habitual liars and after a while one avoids all contact.
SpeakerPelosi's foolproof plan to hold WH accountable: Step 1: Politely ask Trump Toadie to testify. Step 2: Toadie refuses. Step 3: Subpoena Toadie. Step 4: Toadie ignores subpoena. Step 5: Move on to next Toadie. REPEAT UNTIL ELECTION ImpeachmentNOW
SethAbramson Kellyanne CONJOB refused to testify about her violation of the Hatch Act because she knows there is NO DEFENSE FOR HER VIOLATION OF THE LAW. BIG AND BAD ON WH FRONT LAWN SCARED SHITLESS TO GO BEFORE CONGRESS. “WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS YOU WHO THEY ARE..BELIEVE THEM” Maya Angelou
And is anyone shocked?
I’m shocked. Really. 😏
Conway refusing to testify just like a little kid. Maybe she should threaten us like a little kid by holding her breath until she turns blue. In this case however, I won't be sorry.
Why have her do it we all know she will only tell lies and act like a victim. The only victims here will be Congress and the people.
Criminal!
She should be treated like any person who refuses to comply. Period.
iLockHerUp! KellyannePolls works for a criminal administration and she is one of them.
ITS not potential....she did it and continues to do it!!!
SethAbramson Noooo! Really? Who could have seen this coming? Lock her up! For God's sake, they need to do something!
Enough with this BS. If you’re summoned by congress, you damned well better show up or be prosecuted. Add the charge, and fry her nasty butt.
If Conway has done nothing wrong, according to The WH, then what's the big problem about testifying before Congress? Of course, the same can be said for every Trump WH official past & present including ole' DON DON hisself...
SethAbramson Of course KellyannePolls refused. She is guilty and knows under oath her lies will be caught. She has no business in a government position.
The whole Trump admin. refuse these things. Has the House any power or are we going into a dictatorship Russian style?
What say you gtconway3d
House Dems will send her a subpoena which she will give a middle finger to, Dems will tweet about how outrageous it is for her to do so, blah, blah, blah... this is a lawless administration, and they don't give a f*ck.
LockHerUp
Jail the bitch !kellyanneconeay
KellyannePolls Coward Criminal Traitor RepublicanLiar
sad
Don't give them anything Kellyanne, you are doing your job well and they are just going after anything Trump, so fight them all the way!
She needs to follow the law... and the rest need to follow, before they cause Irreversible damage.
So...let’s empower these people even more than they deserve.
Put her in Jail, along with everyone who defied subpoena’s
Just like her boss.
Does she now believe, like her boss, that she is above the law?
That usually means ignoring your guilt ...
She refused?!
Care to comment gtconway3d ?
Lock her up! 50 years!!!
No surprise
Why shouldn't she refuse? Trump won't testify about anything and won't allow anyone else to testify, if one is above the law everyone should be above the law, you think?
Subpoena time.
All associated to Trump think they are above the law.
SethAbramson Force her to appear. Simple as that...
SethAbramson Declines? This isn’t a dance. Go get her.
Sure. More time, money and important actual legislative time wasted!
Criminals. Every single one.
How is this not contempt? It is anarchy to just say “f—k you “to a subpoena and suffer no legal consequences. Lock her up
Then subpoena her and make her testify
Because she is a liar liar pants on fire kind of gal
So what does it say when trump and his team are all permitted to speak to the media, where they are swearuto tell the truth, but not permitted to speak if they have to tell the truth - lieanddeny
No one has ever been charged under the Hatch Act and neither will she.
Are you surprised? I’m not!
SethAbramson I mean, she did it. Can't we just jail her? This is tiresome.
I'm just glad she did something with that thin stringy hair.
Tao_30 Arrest her for contempt, stop letting them get away with breaking the law and ignoring subpoenas
And then they'll subpoena her and that will change everything. How about action disgraceful SpeakerPelosi RepCummings ?
This is a surprise. How about another strongly worded letter?
Is it safe to assume Dem leadership will have a strongly worded tweet about infrastructure regarding this HatchActViolations matter?
Everyone ignoring subpoena's should be jailed
I am a retired federal employee. We were well versed and warned of Hatch Act violations repercussions. She needs to be fired and or the Government pay reparations to former employees that were terminated or lost wages due to 'breaking the law'.
SethAbramson Lock her up?
Why would she start being honest now.
Lock her up!
Because she’s Guilty, Guilty, Guilty, Guilty, 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Basically all of Trump's puppets can just say no and get away with everything. Where is the law? Hello, anyone out there in Washington not working on arresting crooked Trump staff?
There is no reason Kelly Anne Conway should appear for hearings before congress. She broke the law in plain site. She should be arrested. Then she can decide if she will appear for her court date or be held in contempt of court. Her husband can explain it to her.
Lock her up!
Good on her! These televised democrat show trials are getting tiresome. Since they took the house in November, they’ve done nothing they promised they would, spending all their time in an attempt to humiliate Trump. That’s not why we voted for them as they’ll discover in 2020.
SethAbramson How can you just decide you are not going to testify? WTF. Drag her in by her bleached hair.
Isn't there anything with teeth that can be done to set an example of this administration?
Seven fingers; a week's worth!
Stupid Democrats tactics to harass
And, if a Dem failed to show up like this, Kellyanne and her mentally challenged followers would be up-in-arms. People have lost their souls in the Trumpfuck White House.
gtconway3d George?
I didn’t know that when your summoned by Congress you can RSVP : “I am unfortunately unable to attend your gathering. Sending regrets.”
Lock her up!
gtconway3d ...your wife is accountable to the US voters...to Congress...to the law...these laws are there for a reason. How can KAC just make a mockery of US Law...everyone else cannot get away with this?
dancindoti Then you Subpoena her and throw her in jail when she refuses! We are done with you weakness RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi
She’s a crook just like her boss. KellyannePolls
Lock her up
Throw her friggen ass in jail!!!
Throw her ass in Jail
Oh, but you said to bring it on. You lying, cheating excuse for a human being. I thought you were transparent. Answer the questions.
Democrats Presidential Harrassment Committees insanity continues. Dump Democrats in 2020.
Well gee, I'm surprised. I thought she could have at least provided some alternative facts. I'm sick of the Trump mafia being able to just get away w/ ongoing OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE. Anyone else would be jailed. Jail them with the migrant children and under the same condition.
SethAbramson LOCK HER UP!
When will the House start holding these criminals in contempt?
Isn't there anybody decent in Trump's administration?
tanjanmarcel Moving forward, now that subpoenas can be ignored and witnesses can simply refuse to testify, how the hell will any of these monsters be held accountable?
Shocking!
SpeakerPelosi and so?
I hope KC never sees another peaceful day in her life. I hope the stinch and stains of working for this circus stays on her for a lifetime.
Arrest her.
SethAbramson Where’s George, the no integrity fatso?
you got get this to the courts..and have them rule..fastrak... this is bullshit.
Congress must act!!!
The tax payers makeup job is fading. Look at that face!
of course...Trump cowards run from accountability
SethAbramson Lock her up!!!Now!!!
Kellyanne Conway is a liar like her boss. Both are willing to lie all day long to keep their job. That's the kind of people who should never be involved in politics.
It would just be ‘Alternative Facts’.
She’d only lie anyway.
She embody finally shut her up!
Consequences
SethAbramson Since there are only civil penalties (no criminal) for violation of the Hatch Act there is no trigger of one's 5th Amendment right against self incrimination, & her violation is not covered under executive privilege. This is abhorrent behavior by members of this administration.
how about kerry and the logan act.
Wow! BIG surprise that!
SethAbramson Lock her up?
JLily10303 Jail time will remedy this situation swiftly.
.....and nothing will happen to her either.
TOU DEMS NEED TO STOP YOUR ABUSES OF POWER BEFORE THAT SAME POWER GETS USED ON THEM AND THEN THAT WILL BE TRUELY A PICKLE!!!
Is anyone surprised? If you are, you haven't been paying attention.....WH to Congress: FU.
Probably cause she knows she’s guilty! She needs to know that she has violated the law! She’s not above it!! Indict her!
SethAbramson Why can't she be arrested for obstruction or something?
SethAbramson Of course she did
Typical strategy from a WH insider... all of them just refuse and obstruct. We must continue to work to hold them accountable.
SethAbramson How is declining to appear an actual option?
Send the Sargent of Arms to arrest her & impose hefty daily $ financial penalty against ALL WHO REFUSE Congressional subpoenas!
I suppose Congress is powerless to force anyone associated with Trump to testify. Why should Congress recive a salary at all?
Lock her up
Lawless. They are all lawless and they think no laws apply to them. Corrupt criminal cretins.
Lock her up!!
In other news, the sun burns hydrogen. (Mike Pence thinks the sun is God’s eye watching us.)
SethAbramson Consequences! SpeakerPelosi
Who cares if she testifies? You already have the proof, prosecute her!
SethAbramson And why is anyone surprised.
OMG. SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff - unacceptable!!!!! This ridiculous gang of incompetent sycophants and narcissist cannot be allowed to basically give you the finger. Subpoena and compel!
LOCK HER UP .... FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF THE LAW IS NOT TOLERABLE
Time to get the US Marshall's to go and give her some nice shiny bracelets!
lovetogive2 Mobsters daughter makes good.
SethAbramson What is this BS about refusing... LOCK HER UP!
Great. realDonaldTrump already said he won’t let her go👏🇺🇸 MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God Bless America God Bless Trump
SethAbramson jayrosen_nyu Despite Kellyanne Conway's possible violation of the Hatch Act, she was described as an effective surrogate for realDonaldTrump in the upcoming 2020 election on last Sunday Night's ABC News Radio show 'Spectrum.' More of the same from the mainstream news media.
HouseDemocrats, don’t bother with a subpoena unless you’re willing to deliver consequences when she chooses to ignore it. And she will ignore it.
This site explains the consequences for non compliance...she can be removed & the Pathological Prevaricator could not stop it!!
SethAbramson Laws are for the little unimportant people. Just another crooked republican administration.
SethAbramson
I’ll guilty grifters for $500 Alex.
UNTIL U CAN CONTROL THESE CRIMINAL, STOP THKING U CAN CONTROL THE DIRT THEY R PAID TO SPIT N UR FACES...
It's time for this criminal to definitely spend some time within a jail cell.
She needs to vanish from public view..... For the good of all thinking Americans
Lock that .. witch up
Congress really need to send someone of TRUMP's ADMINISTARTION in jail who refused to testify to be taken more seriously
SethAbramson If they can just refuse with no consequences then what the fuck is going on.
SethAbramson .KellyannePolls LockHerUp HatchActViolations
White privilege.
Drag her in by her hair.
gtconway3d What say you?
and when she doesn't show, they'll issue a strongly worded condemnation, i can assure you. and then they'll all talk about how reprehensible it is, eroding the rule of law like that. 'tsk, tsk, it's just not normal, that,' they'll say. and do nothing.
FrancisWegner And she won't show up and Trump will say executive privilege and wew are back to where we started.
SethAbramson LOCK HER UP! She is not above the law. She is NO different than any of the rest of us.
SethAbramson Does this hatch act if broken enforced w/ incarceration? Or is it a fine w/ no repercussions. Y’all need to drop the hammer on one of their asses let em know u mean business. We see an inept party whose unwllngess to act agnst unruly govt lawbrakrs. Know better by allowing this.
Open and transparent. Open to bribes and transparently corrupt.
SethAbramson gtconway3d
SethAbramson LockHerUp
SethAbramson JAILforKellyanne
Kellyanne Conway needs to resign. In her husband’s words (about Trump), she “has a moral compass with no magnet.”
LockHerUp
What a hack!
Oh shocker. Impeachment proceedings please.
This is just getting more ridiculous, evey time one of the 'Cheeto the Clown disciples' gets called upon to testify they just thumb their nose at them. Send the capitol police to round them up for contempt !!!
The candidate of law and order.
SethAbramson Worst of the worst... she is the ultimate liar for the man residing in the White House.
I can’t believe she didn’t cooperate. Your joking, right?
Warrant. Arrest. Lock her up.
There’s a special class of those thinking themselves privileged who can tell you with a straight face why they are exceptions to rules and laws.
Of course she did.
SethAbramson Lock her up!!
What is this refusing to testify? Lock her up
Prison
She will have a load of shit to deal with. I can’t believe she thinks this will end well. CompleteCow
PLEASE lock her up.
Too afraid to confront those who can 'check' her. Coward.
Why can't that WH driveway just reclaim its own?
Awesome transparency, you lying, mean-spirited, political hack
Brazenly lawless
SethAbramson When all else fails.. A bitch slap still works against the enemy
Bill Barre needs to be impeached for not prosecuting anyone violating Congressional Subpoenas or having anything to do with the criminal activity in the administration. Anyone in charge of Justice needs to work for Us, The People. As for KAC, go to jail or complete comply.
lock her up. imprison the trumpster too.
She’s smart enough not to give these witchhunt panels credibility.
SethAbramson contemptofcongress LockHerUp
Why shouldn’t she? The most toothless congress in history can’t get the answers they seek because they don’t really seek the answers. If they gave a rip about this country they’d impeach and skip this charade. Too scared to risk losing their job in next election. Pathetic.
SethAbramson LockHerUp
SethAbramson Throw her lying ass in jail.
Lock her up. Imagjne if this was the Obama admin?
Lock her up!!!
What say you gtconway3d

How can you as an attorney refuse to testify? I and the Whole World knows attorneys are WAY over paid, set a terrible example and believe they are All above the Law! Please, someone spank these narcissists into JAIL! dumpgop
Then the only reasonable choice is to lock her up.
It’s anarchy from the White House. It’s treason towards the American people and needs to be addressed harshly by Congress and The Senate, who are unfortunately are aiding & abetting this administration. Time to begin impeachment proceedings before it’s too late!!!
LOCK HER UP!!!
She won't be subpoenaed, and if she is, she will not show up. And then Nothing will happen to her. We've all grown accustomed to the Political Theater now...
Subpeona, contempt... Who's next? Impeach.
Your headline is not accurate And as such is Fake News She was directed not to testify by the WH

SethAbramson Potential? The report recommended she be fired due to multiple violations.

SethAbramson Throw her in jail.
LockHerUp
SethAbramson Why did they “request” her to show up? Can’t they subpoena her?
SethAbramson These people think they are above the law. They need to be made accountable!
Horrifying that women have allegations against Trump and .HouseDemocrats do nothing. After 2.5 years, Mueller Team has allegations against Trump and .SpeakerPelosi does nothing. Politicians promising they’ll have your back IF YOU Stand Up, means nothing. Right .SenFeinstein?
SethAbramson No shit?!!?
SethAbramson LockHerUp
SethAbramson She needs to be disbarred

Lock KellyannePolls up!
DakotaPresley3 The entire administration believes that winning an election (Electoral College Victory) gives them an exemption from the Rule of Law.
RepAdamSchiff
gtconway3d

Subpoena!!
KellyannePolls - Just who the hell do you think you are to refuse testifying to congress. I hope they put the cuffs on you and throw your skinny ass in jail. This is America. No one, absolutely no one, is exempt from the laws of our republic.
gtconway3d ?
What’s there to testify? She’s guilty! Roll the tapes!
Subpoena?
When does this obstruction end? We need pit bulls not poodles to get tough on these Trump pukes ...what are the Dems doing ? get down & dirty and play at the Grifter-In-Chiefs level NOW

Lock her up
Good for her! Enough of this BS.
And...?
Lock her up!
And another Trump official gives a middle finger to congressional oversight and the rule of law. What will be SpeakerPelosi excuse this time?
The disdain and lawlessness of this outlaw administration continues. This must be checked.
Why should she be the only one to follow the laws?
Of course she does. She knows she is guilty as Hell and is scared to death to testify.
Good for her.
Is accountability anywhere in anyone’s future?
When you win you're above the law... especially when the ruling junta blatantly disregards the constitution... Welcome to the Banana Republic of America...
There's a surprise
What a can of worms the Trump administration and enabling GOP have opened.
KellyannePolls ..... and she’ll continue doing it. How does gtconway3d live with her
Lock that salt water taffy up!
As a US citizen she has that right. As an executive branch employee she has that responsibility and as a presidential advisor she must prrsent DJT differing views as her job demands.
The lawless party. Republicans are traitors.
