Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is being investigated by the Office of U.S. Counsel violating the Hatch Act according to a new report by Circa News.
The Hatch Act prohibits FBI agents from campaigning in partisan races. Photos of McCabe campaigning for his wife raised questions about McCabe’s compliance with the law.
Via Circa News:
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is being investigated by the Office of U.S. Special Counsel for violating The Hatch Act that prohibits FBI agents from campaigning in partisan races.
The Office of U.S. Special Counsel, the government’s main whistleblower agency, is investigating whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s activities supporting his wife Jill’s Democratic campaign for Virginia state senate in 2015 violated the Hatch Act’s prohibition against FBI agents campaigning in partisan races.
The Hatch Act prohibits FBI employees from engaging “in political activity in concert with a political party, a candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group.”
It defines prohibited political activity as “any activity directed at the success or failure of a partisan group or candidate in a partisan election.”

Oh come on. Those laws have no effect on Democrats.
FIRE HIS @SS, MR. PRESIDENT !!!!
But did he have any INTENT to violate the law?
What is the track record of Circa News for not being fake?
Swamp monster covered in slime.
McCabe should have been fired on day 1 of the Trump administration, along with Comey.
Perfect reason to fire him!
DRAINING THE SWAMP, ONE CREATURE AT A TIME!...........
More solid work by JOHN SOLOMON of CIRCA *not* Gateway Pundit.

No. Prosecute him and everyone associated with the criminal enterprise he is protecting.
There are pictures of McCabe and his wife with both wearing campaign shirts supporting her election. I am sure there are a lot more things than that including the money.
The counterattack is forming. Here we see the basis to fire McCabe and others at FBI. The presidency is a very powerful thing, and DJT has it.
Guilty!
Fire him. Lock him up.
Arrest the whole damned Swamp and keep them in jail without bail until their trial comes up.
But what about Comey sweet talking Hillary instead of indicting? That helped her campaign more than McCabe helped his wife’s

Correct. You build the case and then you act.
OSC is part of the Dept. of Justice, just for those who keep posting crap about how AG Sessions has been asleep just because he, an experienced federal prosecutor, doesn’t always do what FReepers think he should.
We are winning. It is happening. This is worth doing right.
This seems a bit of a stretch. You mean he can’t help his wife? So much for America being about family values. I am not concerned about this. If it was someone other then family members, then I’d be saying “lock him up”.
From Wikipedia:
“The United States Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is a permanent independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency whose basic legislative authority comes from four federal statutes, the Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). OSC’s primary mission is the safeguarding of the merit system in federal employment by protecting employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices (PPPs), especially reprisal for “whistleblowing.” The agency also operates a secure channel for federal whistleblower disclosures of violations of law, rule, or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; abuse of authority; and substantial and specific danger to public health and safety. In addition, OSC issues advice on the Hatch Act and enforces its restrictions on partisan political activity by government employees. Finally, OSC protects the civilian employment and reemployment rights of military service members under USERRA. OSC has around 120 staff, and the Special Counsel is an ex officio member of Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), an association of Inspectors General charged with the regulation of good governance within the federal government.”
