Another Scoop from Carter & Solomon: Andrew McCabe Under Investigation for Violations of the hosta Act

The charge seems a little ticky-tack, but Mueller is trying to get Flynn and Trump on ticky-tack crap, so if the rules forbid ticky-tack crap, then they forbid ticky-tack crap for everybody.

cting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is being investigated by the Office of U.S. Special Counsel for violating The hosta Act that prohibits FBI agents from campaigning in partisan races.

The Office of U.S. Special Counsel, the government’s main whistleblower agency, is investigating whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s activities supporting his wife Jill’s Democratic campaign for Virginia state senate in 2015 violated the hosta Act’s prohibition against FBI agents campaigning in partisan races.


The agency’s probe was prompted by a complaint in April from a former FBI agent who forwarded social media photos showing McCabe wearing a T-shirt supporting his wife’s campaign during a public event and then posting a photo on social media urging voters to join him in voting for his wife.


...

The hosta Act prohibits FBI employees from engaging "in political activity in concert with a political party, a candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group."

It defines prohibited political activity as "any activity directed at the success or failure of a partisan group or candidate in a partisan election."

I bet they'll find that McCabe lacked intent to do the thing he intentionally did.

There's video at the link, and additional details, like the disclosure that McCabe met with Terry McAuliffe in 2015 (along with his wife, in a candidate-recruitment pitch).

NASA was forced to repudiate viral reporting from several media
outlets that the space agency was preparing to announce the discovery of
alien life.

Several news outlets reported NASA was on the verge of announcing the
discovery of alien life based on a video by the hacktivist group

9 Remember, McCabe was the head clown in the circus that whitewashed Hillary Clinton's Espionage Act violations. Mc Cabe was in charge of that investigation, even though his wife was being financed by Hillary Clinton's Democrat Party.

Jill McCabe didn't raise much money, Terry McAwful gave her much of her campaign funds from the Democrat Party slush funds. If I remember correctly, she also didn't get many votes either?

14 Being in the FBI means McCabe is subject to the stricter rules in the Hatch act for intelligence community members. The rules are a little fuzzy to me with regards to social media, but if he so much as licked a stamp for his wife's campaign he's violated it.
Seriously. The government website on it goes into a question about of helping clean the house prior to a fundraiser is a violation (I think it might have been).
But he's a higher up so the rules never apply to them just the underlings.

Listen the Hatch act is dumb. But I can't even run for school board down here (IIRC our school board races are partisan) without building a wall between everything I do and my wife.
So he can keep his fucking mouth shut for how ever many months.
I'd like to make sure we at least field a state rep candidate for my district this cycle, but it's nearly impossible for me to step up with the insane arcane rules. I can't even figure out if having my wife watch my daughter while I do paperwork counts as a "campaign activity" (since apparently baking cookies does)

There were once again a flood of Hatch Act violations, incredibly obvious ones, for the entire duration of the Obama administration. As before, the spineless, brainless, gutless Beltway GOP were silent and inactive in reply.

Criminal misbehavior left unaddressed simply encourages further such criminal misbehavior. Normalization of deviance.

76 ace, I think several things already known render this far from "ticky-tack" or unfair - that is, applying Hatch Act restrictions and considerations.

First was the gross violation of same by cabinet-level members under Obama (help me out here - Sibelius? Others, I think?). Gross, obvious, jaw-dropping sorts of violations. The sort of brazen lawlessness that first sheepishly peeked out from behind the curtain in the Clinton years, then became in-your-face contemptuous under Obama.

Second, it's the FBfuckingI. Not the Bureau of Land Management, or some obscure bureau at Commerce. The top federal law enforcement agency. The number 2 guy.

McCabe, just based on the basic facts given in your post, is as guilty as Clinton and Co. are for massive criminal violations of the Espionage Act and the Public Records Act (also beyond question, based on publicly known info alone).

Sorry. I am personally sick of the incestuous local, state, and federal government generational involvement.

But the worst are not the families that are directly involved with the government. The worst are the one step removed, setting up for obvious corruption and conflict of interest. The spouse of the NEA union official running for the school board, or the state legislature. Where they have enormous say about funding the teacher salaries and benefits.

A lot of the problem are us voters, with name recognition, and "a history of service." We allow this to happen.

Oh - and not through the idiotic confected pseudo-framework of "rational scrutiny" for repealing constitutional rights - but through simple common sense.

People in places of public trust, on the public dime, cannot be, or be seen or perceived to be, partisan in any formal way. Unless one wants to dispose of the entire concept or principle of public servants, public institutions, etc. Simple conflict of interest, intolerably glaring, is the obvious problem.

133 rd is correct - at bottom it's the voters who are responsible for our situation, by not rejecting each (hell, any) step in the process.

Hatch Act restrictions are seen as a god-send by actual public servants, even on the Hill, where technically all staff are patronage hires, but only one exempted person per office (not campaign office) is allowed to be specifically political.

Any "injury" to freedom or free speech, from a spouse not being able to electioneer for their partner (as in this case), is such a tiny one, in comparison to the Himalayas of shredded constitutional rights the cretinous judiciary has left in its disastrous wake, as to be undetectable.

As long as advertisers keep paying them, nothing will really change.

Just remember that Yiddish is basically a German dialect, and there is nothing that can't be made to sound mechanical and foul or kinky in German.

I mean, a butterfly is a "schmetterling". It sounds like a tumor. Or a broken-off gear tooth. The whole language is like that.

Thank God Terry McAuliffe let the American public know, mere days ago, about the 93,000,000 Americans killed every day in gun violence.

It's information like this that saves our republic -- for a day or two.
