Full Title: Here We Go: Office of Special Counsel Opens Investigation on Acting AG Matt Whitaker Over Hatch Act Violations

An independent federal investigative agency is looking into whether acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker violated prohibitions on political activities by federal employees by accepting contributions to his 2014 Senate campaign earlier this year.

Last January and February, when Whitaker served as chief of staff at the Department of Justice, four individuals donated a total of $8,800 to the committee for Whitaker’s unsuccessful 2014 run for a Senate seat in Iowa, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Austin Evers, the executive director of the watchdog organization American Oversight, told CNN his group submitted a complaint to the Office of Special Counsel that argued Whitaker may have violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from accepting political contributions.

This is an ongoing coup and treasonous destruction of the United States.

We all know that he wouldn’t have been touched if Trump hadn’t made him head of the JD

And did Hillary solicit or accept any campaign contributions towards her future presidential run, during her tenure as Secretary of State?

If he wasn’t a Republican, it would be a non-issue.

Just coincidental the Deep State made its move on a Friday.

The deep state and civil servant embeds seem very motivated to take down whomever they view as a threat, like Whitaker.

Hatch Act violation? Sheesh. Since when? The Hatch Act never applies to the Rats.

The way things are going here, Constitutional Government no longer exists in America.

The globalist liberal left is crippling Trump. They have engineered an unconstitutional and illegal conspiracy
against a legally elected President.

Is it that criminal punk Mueller’s Office which is doing this?

This is Civil War.

How many political donations did Hillary get while Sec of State? Of course these Deep State pukes won’t look into that.

I am about sick of this. Someone needs to rein in the use of the judiciary to keep Trump from doing his job.

The Deep State has to be stopped. They observe no laws.
