CREW files criminal complaint against Trump, Pompeo and Wolf

[634-5789]

Federal prosecutors should investigate whether Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo and Chad Wolf committed criminal violations of the Hatch Act, according to a complaint filed today by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Evidence suggests that the former president and two of his Cabinet secretaries violated criminal law with their actions around the 2020 Republican National Convention.

A criminal provision of the Hatch Act prohibits public officers from using their official authority to interfere with or affect the nomination or election of a candidate for federal office.

3. More, please!

I hope he’s buried in lawsuits. Flattened under the weight of them. I hope they pile up so high they dwarf his highest penis portraits - uh - er - I mean, towers.

5. Good, but nothing will come of it

Laws do not apply to republicans.

6. Especially when DOJ doesn't investigate them.

Occam's Razor for why laws don't apply to Republicans.

The states appear to be on the road to success, don't they?

8. Occam's Razor on went the slow pace is ..

It's complicated and the DOJ expects perfection over speed.

1) DOJ had precedence favouring Bannon to overcome

2) Huge volumes of Jan 6 evidence slows things down

7. Of all the potential Trump administration crimes to be prosecuted, Hatch Act is least likely.

I don’t think anybody in my lifetime, not even from the Nixon administration, has ever been prosecuted or punished for Hatch Act violations.

10. I'm pleased to read this, just wondering why did they take over a year to proceed?

And, additionally I feel like the complaint will be tossed in the burner... didn't they file a complaint against what's her name? TFG's lying crack head RNC aid and then Oval Office Aide. Married to a guy that used to be with the Lincoln Project,

Oh Wait. Conway. that's the name.

She violated the Hatch Act daily countless times each day.

nada.
