I've never understood how the Hatch Act doesn't keep the POTUS, or any other federal official from campaigning for other offices within their party. Seems like anytime a federal employee campaigns for anyone, it should be a violation of the Hatch Act. But they all do it. I know that I, as a federal employee, can't so much as wear a campaign button for my official of choice. Very much a "rules for thee, not for me" situation.
We get an email at work in advance of any election season. I'm guessing that if we were back in the office, they wouldn't let us wear a "Let's Go Brandon" t-shirt on casual Friday.It doesn't apply to the officeholder. It was intended to keep the officeholder from forcing and abusing their staff to campaign for them. Staff the taxpayers pay for.
But, there is like us reason few if any have been charged under this, it likely is unconstitutional.
Even with the deep state against Trump, if government employee Ivanca was charged for campaigning for her father would it stick? I don't think so, and they know it, so they never charge anyone and play politics with a law they passed, but won't use because it will be put down...
Sounds about average for the democrats decision making abilities.
That would be a very interesting SF-86 to read i'm sure.
