6 Trump officials engaged in political activity that violated Hatch Act

Just in... Black Christmas trees are a hot holiday decorating trend.....

Guess u could say the same of Strzok and Page and Comey!!!

Really reaching with that one!!!

Ethics in the Trump era is meaningless. The crook Trump is surrounded by more crooks.

Good grief give it a test. Can we all realize this has been done before only because the I hate Yrump movement is it issue. Getting old

Write an article about how corrupt the Clinton Foundation is... and all the pay for play going on with the Dems... Unreal they all are not in jail yet.. not to mention the FBI lovers

Go to Hell!

Yet 2 million fed employees receive memo stating they can't discuss impeachment or use 'resist' or 'resistance'. The hypocrisy is boundless..

You want to open this can of worms? In 5 minutes I could find Democrat officials who have tweeted support for Democrat candidates on their government twitter accounts.

The rule of law is meaningless to trump and his complicit republicans. Since trump violates the emoluments clause, attempts to suppress the free press daily, and has no respect for checks and balances, they are making the constitution meaningless as well,

You mean someone in Trump world isn't doing their job? Shocking

And Democrats have routinely violated it. Obama and Kerry come to mind.

shawnkish A law not enforced is not a law. If we, as a people, ignore laws created to enforce ethics in government, we are lost as a nation.

So the law is not worth the paper it's written on.

The Democrats are all violating each other.

Wow so big f deal!

This White House has ignored all ethics, principles, normal standards of conduct from day one. They have thumbed their noses at any ethics warning they have received and the GOP toadies in the House did nothing. That is about to end.

Lock em up, lock em up!!!

This administration is so crooked all the from the President to this staffs. Can’t wait to see them all gone.

Try to understand. In the age of Trump the Tertible, laws only apply to Democrats. Republucans are always exempt unless they choose otherwise.

Why make a law if it won’t be enforced? Why waste time and money on nonsense Washington? I would have be counseled, written up, or suspended! Where’s the Leadership?

That makes sense. There is one set of rules for Republicans and another for the rest of us.

Why not?

And yet nothing is done

ShockinglyNotShocking

Violating the Hatch Act doesn't even break the top 100 list for this administration.

Sadly anything goes in this administration. Normalizing lies, actions no one has the balls to call it.

2 years ago the Hatch Act was antiquated and really had no teeth but now it’s a tragedy.

What do you expect from a deeply corrupt administration? We wanted change from good to unfortunately, bad and we got something worse than bad. Corruption has made our White House a home. Only Mueller Investigation can rescue this country from Russia kidnap of US democracy.

'Law and order' administration... No wonder (some people) drink!!! Jeezbus!

LOCK THEM UP!!

lol, hail mary plays are a hoot. You lefties are in panic.

So.....nothing huh. Then why have it? Waste of money to tell someone you been bad but we won’t punish you.

Lock them up!

Where were you guys during the Obama administration? Geez

Never heard of a Twitter account belonging to the government. It belongs to Twitter as they prove daily by shutting down conservative accounts. Fake news.

Not true

The Hatch act seems pretty meaningless if there's absolutely no punishment for violating it? What's the point?

Dock their pay or impose fines?!

They also were chewing gum in class.

Lock em up!

Slap on hand so they continue

They think they are above the law.

GOP Sen. Hatch walks back his 'irresponsible' comments downplaying claims against TrumpSen. Hatch calls his comments earlier in the week 'irresponsible' for seeming to brush aside accusations against President Trump. irresponsible and unforgivable. OMG.... just go away Snatch... I guess he doesn’t understand that people look up to him for leadership(which is a joke). When he says things like that people take it as fact. He damages the system he was voted in to protect.
