Isn’t doing things in this facet while charged with a position governing this country a derilict of duty? Campaigning and not doing your job?

DOE encourages recipients to “circulate this call information widely” to businesses in swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Colorado. Even to New York and Washington, D.C.

But the kicker: The “exciting call” itself is “off-the-record and is not for press purposes.”

Here’s the notice:
