“The FEC [Office of Inspector General] sought to pursue criminal charges stemming from Ms. Sands’s solicitation of political contributions while on duty inside the FEC building. However, the FEC recycled Ms. Sands’s hard drive before the OIG was able to seize it, and therefore the OIG was unable to show that Ms. Sands’s solicitations and political activity were done from an FEC computer. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia thereafter declined criminal prosecution.”

That's bullsh*t.

The Hatch Act prohibits Federal Employees from soliciting political donations. Period. Doesn't matter whether it was on a government computer or personal one - it's still a conflict of interest and prosecutable as a felony (I believe).

Something else, it should be easy enough to subpoena Twitter to get the logs tracing her activity to a government computer.
