Conway and the Hatch Act

Kelleyanne Conway is being requested to testify before the House of Representatives about public statements she made that may have violate the Hatch Act.

In part, the Hatch Act states that no one not paid from the budget allocated for the executive staff of the president can make any statements that can be taken as political in nature.

It doesn't appear that Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President, has violated the Hatch Act. 

Conway's salary is paid out of the budget for the president.

The house should give up this issue to pursue larger issues that they are on firm ground for.
