Sarah Huckabee Sanders' remarks RE: ESPN could qualify for a fine, 15 years in prison, or both

[Miles Archer]

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was in dubious legal territory on Wednesday when she essentially called for ESPN host Jemele Hill to be fired, according to former Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub.

Hill recently called President Donald Trump a "white supremacist" in a tweet, which Sanders described as a "fireable offense" during a press conference on Wednesday.

***

This law essentially states certain government employees -- including the president, vice president and "any other executive branch employee" -- are prohibited from influencing the employment decisions or practices of a private entity (such as ESPN) "solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation."

Breaking this law can lead to a fine or imprisonment up to 15 years -- possibly both -- and could lead to disqualification from "holding any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

[iluvtennis]

17. Agree. Make it so!

[Bleacher Creature]

2. I'm sure Jeff Sessions will get right on it.

Not.

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. Yep

Another story about a member of the Trump administration blatantly violating a law that comes with a prison sentence where not a damn thing will be done about it.

[MineralMan]

3. Bring it on! An indictment would be terrific.

Sarah Huckleberry Sanders needs a lesson in STFUing, I believe.

[Orsino]

4. Well, finally...someone qualified. n/t

[honey bucket]

10. Sarah Sanders comments

Sara Wonk eye Huckabee Slanders is a graduate of religious college and you know they don't teach much about real life there. She should be charged with felony for this and Mr. Mueller should look into her lying for Traitor don.

[czarjak]

13. She can't hide that lying eye...

The self cringing is hilarious though. Deep down, even she knows she's full of shit.

[Achilleaze]

15. Yes, she does. She cannot admit it to her conscious mind, but...

...but her whole being reeks of Tells. Deep inside she knows she is betraying the truth.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. I dunno. I rather suspect that people like her

actually believe what they say.

Alternatively, we can ask her to show us the fine print in the Commandment about not bearing false witness that allows her to say such untrue things.

[flibbitygiblets]

32. Lol.

[tblue37]

31. I call her Pearl Pureheart, because of the way her ears stick out of her hair:

[Mr.Bill]

11. As a Trump employee she could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and...

you know the rest.

[LiberalLovinLug]

12. .....

[mbusby]

22. I dunno...

...probably only if Trump was blind.

[uponit7771]

30. lofl

[Control-Z]

33. Is that Huckabee?

It looks like her. A tad heavier than she is now but her right eye and brow are the same.

[demmiblue]

37. No. It is a Photoshop of her head on another woman's body. n/t

[oasis]

36. Gulp! Where's the nearest exit?

[tiredtoo]

14. Lock her up, Lock her up! N/T

[pansypoo53219]

16. IARIYAR forever. she will get away w/ it.

[SHRED]

19. Laws don't apply to them

[The Wielding Truth]

26. We have the power to make them apply!

[TNNurse]

20. If we only had a Department of Justice....

but we have Jefferson Beauregard Sessions instead.

[StevieM]

21. If Hillary had done this there would be an FBI investigation underway. (eom)

[PJMcK]

39. And Congressional hearings (n/t)

[Enoki33]

23. All part of the rule not govern temperament. And from

someone who claims to be a Christian.

[RandomAccess]

24. All well and good -- but when

is someone going to do something about it?

[SaschaHM]

25. A month in prison should really open her eye.

[shenmue]

27. Satan, go fuck yourself

[FarPoint]

28. She makes this up....

She's pandering to their abusive base of domestic violence/ racist thugs they call supporters

[madaboutharry]

29. Some higher up told her to go out and say that.

This White House is run by amateurs.

I know this has no relevance and is petty, but I don't understand why a 34-year old woman dresses like she's 80.

[Control-Z]

34. She's only 34?

Are you sure?

[madaboutharry]

35. She just had a birthday, so she is now 35.

She turned 35 last month.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

38. Who will play her on SNL?
