Bush ethics czar demands Kellyanne Conway appear before Congress and name lawmakers she claims sexua

The former chief White House ethics lawyer during the George W. Bush administration is demanding KellyAnne Conway both be fired for violating federal law and testify under oath about “blackmail” allegations made against Republican members of Congress following the ‘Access Hollywood’ tapes where President Donald Trump bragged about sexual misconduct.

“When I was younger and prettier, them rubbing up against girls, sticking their tongues down women’s throats uninvited who didn’t like it,” Conway alleged in 2016.

“Thanks for describing your MeToo moment which was all about blackmailing GOP members of Congress who backed off from supporting Trump after the Billy Bush tape. And now you use more dirty tricks to help Roy Moore,” Richard Painter charged.

“The House Ethics Committee can’t act against Rep. Conyers without also requiring Kellyanne Conway, a government employee, to under oath name names of the (probably all white) congressmen who she in 2016 said assaulted her and her friends,” Painter concluded. “No more double standard.”

1. Does the law (that THEY wrote) allow names to be named under oath?

I'm sure politicians are good at feigning outrage in public while working to keep things quiet privately.

6. Don't sweat it, he's made it clear on TRMS that Kellyanne is obviously in violation of federal law..

on multiple issues in several segments. There is no doubt he's made or will make this issue there, too.

I don't care for Raw Story but sometimes they do get a scoop that shows up elsewhere soon enough. This one will, too.

Go Richard! Conway has been on our most-hated list for at least couple of years now. Let's see if he can get her fired. Or at least reprimanded. I hope we get a few more like Painter on our side.

10. The same way Bannon and Gorka got the boot...pressure from the traditional Repubican establishment.

Painter already outlined how she's broken the law by hawking Ivanka's clothes during an interview, not to mention violating the Hatch Act by proselytizing for Moore and TV as well.

Campaigning for a child molester while representing the White House/Republican party — sounds like a fireable offense and something no party should countenance to me.
