Reporters haven’t asked about Sebelius breaking law in W.H. briefings
The Daily Caller ^ | September 18, 2012 | Alex Pappas

Reporters covering the White House don’t seem to have many questions about Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who was last week found in violation of federal law against engaging in political activity while on the job.

A ( review of transcripts by The Daily Caller) indicate that no questions have been asked by the reporters who cover the president about Sebelius during official White House briefings or gaggles since Sept. 12, when the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said in a report that the cabinet secretary violated the Hatch Act earlier this year.

It’s still up to President Obama whether Sebelius should keep her job or face some sort of punishment after being found in violation of the Hatch Act. (WATCHDOG: Obama must punish Sebelius or Congress can impeach her)

The ethics office said Sebelius violated the law on Feb. 25 while delivering a speech to Human Rights Campaign while serving in her official capacity as cabinet secretary. In her speech, she called for Obama’s re-election, and the election of the Democratic candidate for governor in North Carolina.

The Hatch Act prohibits certain civil servants in the federal government from engaging in political activity on the job.

RINOs RINOs RINOs RINOs!!!!!

We gotta get rid of the RINOs!!!

Either that or go 3rd party. This bunch is INSIDE the tent and pi$$ing IN—rather than the other way ‘round.

NO law enforcement with this bunch of “leaders”.

No one has standing to challenge “The Won” or Eric “The Coward” Withholder and call for the prosecution of Sebelius who clearly broke the law.
