every election cycle in the FedGov, and in the military. This is nothing new, particularly as we get less than a week out.

damn glad someone in the government does! this tweet is going to trigger the deplorables and right wing media just wait and see, but it needs to be out there and makes me feel better that good people in the government are not going to stand for inappropriate attempts to influence the election.

So recent actions by FBI is even more egregious violation of Hatch Act, since law enforcement agents in FBI fall into the "further restricted" category when it comes to actions that would interfere in elections process. Only exceptions to Hatch act are Pres and VP.
