It looks like she will be investigated:

"House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said he will refer White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway for an ethics investigation, after she promoted Ivanka Trump’s fashion line during a Thursday appearance on Fox News.

Chaffetz told reporters on Capitol Hill that Conway’s remarks were “clearly over the line” and “unacceptable,” and that he and the top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), would jointly refer Conway to the Office of Government Ethics for an investigation.

Ya think he'll be shooting someone in the middle of 5th Avenue soon as he's claimed he could do with no repercussions?

You misspelled "Bannon". Trump is an impulsive, loudmouthed buffoon.

It'll be interesting to see where this story goes. It certainly isn't a good look for them right now.

Let's see how fast they try to bury this and change the national conversation topic.
Good grief, tomorrow's Friday.

Ivanka will be celebrating Shabbat and unable to keep a close eye on Trump.

Two Fridays ago around 5 pm was when Trump signed the XO for the Muslim travel ban.

Lord only knows what the two of them will be up to tomorrow.

Yeah, this has been a pretty crazy few weeks, for sure.

If her sales skyrocketed in the 1st quarter of 2017 they would try and find a way to blame that on Trump too.
We're all tired of hearing about her clothing line. Why doesn't Trump **** about it and start acting like a president?

I don't think his acting ability has the range.

The only people who care (fake care) are the moronic liberals who can't afford her stuff in the first place.


Equally moronic are the liberals who are too damned stupid to realize that 99.99% of this crap starts with them.


Honestly, they are like horribly bratty little freaking kids who that think if they scream long enough, they'll get their way.


Just another reason why sane folks are turning off mainstream media. Nobody gives a rip about Ivanka's clothes, and nobody give a rip about some idiotic designer named Wu who designed Moochelle's clothes, either.

The media already had an obsession it was always part of their strategy to get at Trump. They were working the Ivanka clothing line angle months and months ago. This isn't new. Trump's problem is he's easy to get riled up and he has to fight with them and always respond to them.
