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.

The swamp is desperate. They will use anything, even an alleged misdemeanor, to blunt their exposure and, if they are successful, limit Trump’s leverage. He must declassify the FISA documents and create a Presidential Commission on DOJ/FBI/IC Corruption that supercedes/counters DOJ/FBI and Special Counsel “findings”. And he ought to appoint Joe DiGenova to lead the Commission and appoint Commission members. Nothing short of the legitimacy of our government institutions is at stake and justice will not be found at the DOJ/FBI/IC.
“And did Hillary solicit or accept any campaign contributions towards her future presidential run, during her tenure as Secretary of State?”
Every DAY and in every WAY imaginable - and some that we’d never even BEFIN to imagine!
Hurry UP, Karma! Finish your Martini, put down your nail file and MAKE HER PAY!
How come investigations of Republicans begin about 13 minutes after the original allegation is made and investigations of Democrats take 2.5 years to get going?
Trump will make them sorry will the next ___________ SCOTUS/DOJ/chief of staff replacement. They should just be happy now.
That Trump is doing nothing to stand up to this, tells me a whole lot about how 2020 is going to go. Don’t get me wrong, Love Mr Trump and my heart goes out to him for all he is enduring. But it is long past time to make a stand.
With little info this story has, I suspect the key issue is what the “committee” mentioned consists of.
That is, was it his committee or one organized by people who had no connection government nor directly to him.
They have got to be KIDDING.
They would have us believe that Pelosi and Waters NEVER did any campaigning from their offices????
Please let there be someone who is strong enough to stop this rotten, stinking party from running roughshod all over decency and integrity.
SOMEONE DO SOMETHING. This is too much to bear.
OK...Whitaker is “acting” AG...
Appoint Whitaker head of CIA and appoint former sheriff David Clarke as AG, THEN listen to the liberal howls deep into the night!!!!!!
Okay. So who are the fags running the so called “Office of Special Counsel”. Americans need to open an investigation on THEIR asses.
Okay. So is this bozo Evers a fag or a pedophile?
Totally agree, and he should do it tonight, those prissy Brit nimrods should be besmirched!

This is ridiculous. The special counsel has been set up as an opposition government.
Not a single prosecution of Hillary or Obama’s illegal activities, yet, every single Trump staff member gets prosecuted.
It just happened - give him a day to respond.
But there’s little he can do - this is an investigation by the senate, a separate branch of government. He can’t retaliate without being in violation of the constitution.
What you’re seeing is the proper mechanations of our government which SHOuLd have been used against Obama but never were because the GOP and the DNC are working together against us, the people.
We need a viable political party that will fight for the people and the not the elite power centers of the NWO
Correct!
Republican thought-criminals are under full-time investigation by the DNC Department of Justice.
“His 2014 run for Senate earlier THIS YEAR”.
I know I am a life long bookkeeper/accounting person, but those 2 years are 4 years apart.
