Ivanka Trumps Endorsement Of Goya Foods Puts Her In Serious Legal Trouble

Ms. Trump’s Goya tweet is clearly a violation of the government’s misuse of position regulation, 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702. Ms. Trump has had ethics training. She knows better. But she did it anyway because no one in this administration cares about government ethics,” Shaub says.






What elected position does she have?


Oh, right. None.

Goodbye.
She’s a government employee which is exactly who the law covers.

Wrong, she is her dads advisor. She gets no pay.
Her pay is irrelevant. She is a government employee.

Not clicking with what an "employee" is, are you? She also wasn't paid for promoting Goya.

OK, so Obama was paid. And he promoted the Chevy Volt. What should have happened to him in your view?
She’s an employee. It doesn’t matter if she’s paid or not. She signed up as an employee. You can be an unpaid employee, kiddo. That doesn’t exempt one from ethics laws.

The president is specifically exempted from the law in question.

You're still only addressing half the equation and obviously doing it on purpose because you realize you're wrong.

If she were PAID by Goya, that would be an argument. She's benefiting from being an unpaid advisor.

But she's making nothing off any of this. That's where your argument falls apart, and you know it, which is why you're dancing and evading addressing the whole picture at once

§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.

She's not allowed to endorse products.
What gain did she have?

Context is beyond his abilities.

And reading comprehension seems to be beyond yours.

Sorry kid, the entire context is "personal gain".

It’s not. If you had reading comprehension, you’d understand that. Read the whole thing and stop making it up.
Why are you not reading this part of the "whole thing", and making stuff up?

An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain,

Watch: Six Years Ago Obama Promised to Buy a Chevy Volt. Now It Is Dead

Yeah, but remember how the Democrats all wanted him investigated for that? Hmm ... I don't either ...

They will say as an elected official he isn't beholden to those rules. Of course, Trump's daughter isn't a civil service employee of the government, so her application vis a vis the law is probably hazy as well.

They got their soundbite, that's all they care about.
Yes. Ivanka is an employee of the government.

A civil servant with a title?
I believe her title is special advisor to the president.

Paid? Civil Service? Senate Confirmed?
No. No. No.

Any other questions?

The law they are quoting probably applies to a specific type of employee. Any idea which one it applies to?

It applies to almost everyone in government:
(h) Employee means any officer or employee of an agency, including a special Government employee. It includes officers but not enlisted members of the uniformed services. It includes employees of a State or local government or other organization who are serving on detail to an agency, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3371, et seq. For purposes other than subparts B and C of this part, it does not include the President or Vice President. Status as an employee is unaffected by pay or leave status or, in the case of a special Government employee, by the fact that the individual does not perform official duties on a given day.

No genius, the section of the clause reads, "for the endorsement of any product, service, or enterprise".....
Meaning, when you are a government employee or affiliated with the government, you CAN'T endorse any product or service...period..end of story.

Not sure why you and the other members of the Trump Family Apologist are getting your panties in a bunch over this? First off, it's not like the Trump family
or administration has any ethical morality. Kellyann Conway pimped Ivanka's clothing line and got a slap on the wrist for it. We know the Trumps are above the law.
And you can't tell me with the Trump family pedigree that ANY of them have ever gone near a piece of food that had a Goya product in it. :)
Why did you edit out the 5 words just prior to what you bolded, you lying sack?

/—-/ Read it and weep, Loser: Ivanka 'may have violated government ethics rules' for promoting Goya foods after CEO said US is 'blessed to have Trump'
What am I supposed to weep about? This article confirms what I've been saying.
/——/ It happens often and nothing will become of it. Or did you not see that?
It happens often in this administration and nothing is done about it because this administration doesn't give a shit about the law.
What law have they broken?
Cited in the OP.
The twitter link in the OP edited out this part of the law...........just like you are trying to do, liar.

In this case I have to agree. Nothing wrong with the Goya CEO liking Trump or visiting, a bit dicey that Trump's daughter is now doing spot ads promoting the company. But then, Hillary took actual donations from foreign countries to her "charity," then turned around and did them huge favors.

So once again, just follow the crumbs-- -- -- if the democrats don't like it, you can be sure they already did it themselves, did it far worse and did it first.
I’ve never heard so many use the defense that it’s ok because somebody else did it.

Hey, colfax_m since the statute you quoted includes the above, enlighten all of us as to exactly what private gain Ivanka received.

This should be fun. :iyfyus.jpg:

Then you must have plugged ears and eyes sewn shut because Democrats use it every day. They are forever defending Barry and Hillary saying Trump is worse. Better still, they complain of things Trump does while using a totally different standard for themselves, never once minding or complaining when their own democrats do it!

They hold Trump to a special standard which they don't apply to themselves. Pointing out what democrats do (or have done) is only fair in that it applies the SAME standard to all. But I guess Ethos escapes you.

You should really be more careful about who you call stupid. I’m right on this one.

There is no law that requires a volunteer to comply, maybe she "re-imagined" her roll. Isn't that a good thing with you commies?

The president isn't considered an employee in this law.

Here's the legal definition used:
Employee means any officer or employee of an agency, including a special Government employee. It includes officers but not enlisted members of the uniformed services. It includes employees of a State or local government or other organization who are serving on detail to an agency, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3371, et seq. For purposes other than subparts B and C of this part, it does not include the President or Vice President.
