http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/01/news/kellyanne-conway-ivanka-trump-white-house-letter/index.htmlOur favorite White House couch vixen, Kellyanne, was cleared of any wrong-doing by the WH because there was no "nafarious motive" ...
The letter, from the White House to the Office of Government Ethics, says a White House lawyer met with Conway to review federal rules prohibiting endorsements by government employees. It makes no mention of plans for disciplinary action.
"Upon completion of our inquiry, we concluded that Ms. Conway acted inadvertently and is highly unlikely to do so again," says the letter, signed by Stefan C. Passantino, a White House deputy counsel for compliance and ethics.
"It is noted that Ms. Conway made the statement in question in a light, off-hand manner while attempting to stand up for a person she believed had been unfairly treated and did so without nefarious motive or intent to benefit personally," the letter says.
All I ask is that the next time >> I << violate a federal statute, that they take into account my motives, please.

(52,129 posts)1. note, "cleared" *by the white house*, not at all cleared by the office of government ethics
it's certainly not surprising that this highly corrupt white house would "clear" someone after they abused their position to promote products the president's family personally benefits from.
