Just asking the FBI to do illegal things to cover their tracks. No big deal, nothing to see here.

Law professors file misconduct complaint against Kellyanne Conway

Quote:

A group of law professors from around the country has filed a professional misconduct complaint against White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, a graduate of George Washington University Law School who was admitted to the D.C. Bar in 1995.

The letter, filed with the office that handles misconduct by members of the D.C. Bar, said Conway should be sanctioned for violating government ethics rules and “conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation,” the letter says.

The direct communications between the White House and the FBI were unusual because of decade-old restrictions on such contacts. Such a request from the White House is a violation of procedures that limit communications with the FBI on pending investigations.

Hummmm......seems like it's pretty serious.

Well, remember how bizarre the Carter page letter was? The whole thing was a giant admission of guilt.

someone who politics better than me please tell me how this is not an impeachable offense?

"White House officials had sought the help of the bureau and other agencies investigating the Russia matter to say that the reports were wrong and that there had been no contacts, the officials said. The reports of the contacts were first published by The New York Times and CNN on February 14."

So it's a policy violation. Sessions can just issue another memo saying the president and minions can talk to whoever about whatever, even if it's shady as hell. Big deal. I mean, yeah it should be a big deal but isn't, not now. Ianal ofc

I don't come in Politics often, but as Mercer has been mentioned, I was wondering what folks views were on Cambridge Analytica?

This is a fascinating, and frightening, article about their supposed role in recent events:
