17. Your reply's first part is a misinterpretation of what I wrote.
I never told anyone not to raise the issue with Congress. I said that Congress has bigger fish to fry and therefore is unlikely to be much help. I consider that to be the truth of the matter, for the simple reason that Congress is already investigating the same issue as relating to the GSA, the Peace Corps, the diplomatic corps, the Department of Justice, etc... at present, without tangible results. For that matter, another poster suggests it's not actually a Hatch Act violation if it doesn't involve federal resources. (I wouldn't know the details.)

I'm sorry if you expect me to cheer on every action that I think is actually a poor use of energy given the larger picture. I like to focus on the big things: making an example of big fish to give the little ones reason to resign before Congress gets around to beating them with a stick.
