George Conway is an American lawyer, educated at Harvard and Yale, with 32,5000 Twitter followers. They monitor George's account for the free legal advice and legal commentary he provides, mostly directed at his wife's boss: President Donald Trump.
George is Kellyanne Conway's husband and his Twitter account so often features indirect messages to her employer that the habit was even raised in a volatile Dana Bash CNN interview with Kellyanne.
Whether George is trolling the president as some suggest or just trying to help the guy out, his advice and insight into the law is generally spot on.
After Rudy Giuliani's Hannity interview on May 2, George decided to share some Federal Election Commission (FEC) guidance on the proper use of campaign funds the next morning. Giuliani made statements about funds being used for reimbursing Donald Trump's lawyer during that interview.
Giuliani was adamant no improper use of campaign funds occurred, the purported reason he brought up Trump reimbursing his personal lawyer Michael Cohen $130,000 for paying off Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels. However George shared specific FEC guidance about the distinction between personal funds and campaign funds and their proper use in his early morning Tweet the day after Giuliani's interview.

George also often deletes his Tweets after his message is sent, so his many followers made certain to bring attention to this advice about FEC law, just in case anyone missed it.
Jake Tapper, a CNN correspondent and host, shared the Tweet, without commentary.
"Noted conservative attorney George Conway tweets FEC guidelines on personal gifts and loans," Tapper pointed out in his post without referring to George's wife or the president.
Meanwhile, Jack Posobiec, a staunch Trump advocate, also called attention to George Conway's Twitter message but with a bit of commentary claiming the information was a Trump insult.
George Conway never misses a chance to post something nasty about President Trump. Why is that? https://t.co/Xtcr1h3lR1

No matter where people fell on the political spectrum, there were plenty of opinions about George's latest legal advice.
KellyAnne Conway's husband George is continuing to make his feelings about this Trump situation known.....

The fact that George Conway cited this at all is really saying something... pic.twitter.com/DUki7GHDLi

This should have us all afraid. What does Kellyanne's husband know from the inside so damaging that he's compelled to undermine his wife to save our democracy?
— Grandma Gretchen (@wechoosewisdom) May 3, 2018
Thank you! @realDonaldTrump doesn't understand the FEC aspect at ALL.
Dear Trump: you should probably ask Kellyanne if she can relay her husband's explanation to you in picture form. — Elle Bee Are (@elle_bee_are) May 3, 2018
Some people brought up Giuliani's interview admissions as well as what impact Conway's FEC guidance had on them.
😉I admit it. @RudyGiuliani is secretly working on behalf of #TheResistance. His retainer fee was paid by the Deep State. Sure, Rudy's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's not THAT dumb. Clearly, everything he said on Fox News was INTENDED to hurt 🤡@realDonaldTrump.

Whoa, Rudy may just have proven our @CREWcrew complaint that Trump broke the law by failing to disclose the loan from Cohen on his federal presidential financial disclosures. Those are filed under criminal penalty for false statements, 18 USC 1001. https://t.co/1W1BP4RvIT

Giuliani's statement that @realDonaldTrump reimbursed Cohen for the $130k payment to @StormyDaniels puts Trump on the hook for criminal violation of campaign finance laws. Violation is only criminal if knowing and willful. Trump reimbursement=Trump knowledge.

Including one particularly interesting back and forth between Twitter users "David" and "DWW".
Except Giuliani directly linked the payment to the campaign just this morning.

Here. Gosh, if only there was a way to find articles about this simply by putting “Giuliani, campaign" into something I'll call a search-engine. Hmm.. https://t.co/wRg8FEd1yA

Quotr from the article you posted

[maniacal laughter]
Out of respect and love for family they laundered a payoff through a fixer during a campaign season, then lied about it for months. “Personal reasons" contradicts everything else he said. You use complete sentences so I KNOW you're not that stupid. — DWW (@GiftedGuru) May 3, 2018
A few people even called on Kellyanne to comment, but she made it clear in a CNN interview, she didn't want people "going there."
@KellyannePolls care to comment? Your husband doesn't appear to support your career.
— Saul Hamburger (@ChicoKrampelijo) May 3, 2018
What does @KellyannePolls think of your tweets. I commend you for speaking out for what's right. Does Kellyanne agree?
