Iowa GOP Files Formal Complaint: Did AG Miller Violate Federal Law?

Party also files public records request regarding campaign loans from Miller’s staff

DES MOINES – Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn today filed a formal complaint regarding Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller’s potential violations of the federal Hatch Act, which makes it illegal for an official like Tom Miller to use his official authority or influence to interfere with or affect an election, and also forbids an official from coercing or ordering a state employee to contribute anything of value to his campaign. The federal law covers Miller because activities and programs of his office are financed in part with federal loans and grants.

This will have legs after tomorrow. So far, Iowa media has mostly ignored this to protect their guy in the AG office.

She did all she could - was on Mickelson’s show this morning and put it all on the table there. You can’t do much when the media mostly in the bag for the other side...
