Investigation Says 13 Trump Officials Broke The Law During 2020 Campaign - Ring of Fire

[Rhiannon12866]

A federal investigation has concluded that at least 13 members of the Trump administration broke federal law by engaging in purely political activities while they were in their official capacity during the 2020 Presidential campaign. The federal law that was broken was The Hatch Act, which was a common occurrence throughout the entire Trump administration. This report is unlikely to result in any actual charges coming against these former officials, but it should give the Biden administration cause to strengthen the rules that govern these activities. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. They wore it as a badge of pride.

It raised your status to break the Hatch Act.
I read this in an article about Bannon.

2. Good point.

With TFG as an example, they have believed they could get away with anything. Bannon's indictment is a wake up call...

And the violations of the Hatch Act are, too.

5. Yeah, we knew it at the time. Many at DU commented on it.

So, let's see some indictments drop, eh? It doesn't help to "strengthen" rules if they are going to be flouted anyway.
