“immune from congressional compulsion to testify on matters relating to his official duties”

Issa wants to compel Simas to testify about violations of the Hatch Act. Eggleston’s claim of immunity is an admission of guilt, since it means the White House defines criminal violations of the Hatch Act as “official duties”. I didn’t realize Simas had actually been advising the President about how to violate the Hatch Act as part of his job. The White House will do almost anything to avoid another public spectacle of their minions plead the Fifth.

Just read a summary of the Hatch Act.

The democrat party is just one big violation of the Hatch Act.

It’s their entire election strategy.
