Going to jail? I’d settle for someone being fired. OK, written up.
OK, so they issued a fake apology. Nothing will come of this.

I'm suspicious whenever the MSM shows uncharacteristic honesty.
I'd be willing to bet this goes much higher than 'low level staffers' in Cincinnati.

They did their job. The election is over. Yeah, now they’re sorry.
Where was the oversight? Who - exactly - was responsible? This wasn’t some arcane law being interpreted, or some confusing new law, this was willful, spiteful political hardball deliberately played.
Who ordered it? Who oversaw it? Who allowed it to continue? How was it “discovered”? Why was it “discovered” only after the fact?

Is there evil in a government agency which has the power to punish people who disagree with the government? Only if you truly believe in truth, justice, the American way of life and God. I’d say that that list of attributes would definitely put you on the “kill” list. There is a major political “tug of war” not too far down the road that this country is treading. My only prayer is that the “good” people of this country prevail and that those who would destroy us be vanquished.

And STILL....
...None dare to call it fascism.
Remember how those who mentioned this last year were called “CWAZY!!!”, and quite likely racists??

Even worse is that they fingered some low level Mooks instead of taking responsibility....
