“a clear violation of 5 CFR 2635.702(a),” Shaub tweeted Saturday, referencing the law that states government employees cannot use public office for private gain. “

And the “gain” would be what, Schaub?

Another highly partisan Obama appointee. Did Obama pick anyone for any important office who was not over-the-top partisan?

There used to be some positions in the government which were perceived as non-partisan...but that is so Second Millennium.

And John Brennan says that people that work in the Trump Administration should do everything they can to fight Trump.

But he’s upset that SHS tweeted that she and her family got kicked out of a restaurant?

Um, no. Let's go to the videotape.

§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.

An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.

(a)Inducement or coercion of benefits. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity.

snip

(c) Endorsements. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office to endorse any product, service or enterprise except:

(1) In furtherance of statutory authority to promote products, services or enterprises; or
(2) As a result of documentation of compliance with agency requirements or standards or as the result of recognition for achievement given under an agency program of recognition for accomplishment in support of the agency's mission.

Walter Shaub should have his teeth kicked in.

The incident was directly job-related.

I hope someone clubs Shaub like a baby Harp seal.

The owner of the Red Hen is getting hammered on FB. Apparently she is the director of the Lexington Main Street promotional organization. Can you believe it?? I’m shocked. I hope they fire her.

One of Barry’s butt boys. Disregard. He’s a hater.

I read somewhere online that he diddles little boys, but I'm not sure I believe it.

Bwahahahah, an ethics councilor for the Obama administration.

That’s almost as funny as an ethics councilor for the
Clintons...

bollocks. the story exploded on anti-social media when one of the girly boy waiterettes posted it on his facebook page. apparently, he was bragging about it. he deleted after he got hate-bombed for being a colossal dick.

sarah simply clarified a story that had spun out of control.

Another poisonous Swamp Creature tries to zing the White House.

Shaub has been bitter and despondent since his complete loss of bureaucratic clout in the Trump Administration

She was asked to leave because of the job she has which includes her Twitter account. But you knew that. So why your ethics? You did ethics for Obama? You can still be redeemed but not by your ethics.
