Where was he when Obama was out campaigning for Hillary?
By pronouncements from the White House, TV appearances, and by traveling all over the country.
Boy the snowfwakes are getting crazy(er)!
Obama was an elected official, not a federal employee.
Where is Shaub’s complaint against McCabe of the FBI who not only campaigned for his wife, but did some of it on FBI letterhead. And why not one against Comey who apparently knew about McCabe’s actions and did nothing. These people are pathetic.
How many federal employees (meaning in or formerly in a federal job, but not elected) have made comments about Roy Moore?
Algore solicited donations from the VP resident. And the Old Executive bldg.
“Get out of Cheney’s house!”. “Get out of Cheney’s house!”. “Get out of Cheney’s house!”

Wow, they want to open that closet door too? The libs are not smart when they get desperate.
Excuse me, but where was this guy during the eight years of Odumbo? Oh , yeah demonrat, nuff said.

As I said, any employee in the executive branch "may express opinions about candidates and issues".
Yes. It exempts the president.
Yes. And it exempts the president.
The part of the law that I posted shows that Kellyanne did NOT violate the law.
Read the complaint.
