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 Whitakers unsuccessful 2014 run for a Senate seat in Iowa, according to Federal Election Commission records.

This is an ongoing coup and treasonous destruction of the United States.
We all know that he wouldnt have been touched if Trump hadnt made him head of the JD
You can bet Rosenweasel is quietly behind this.
Weird.
MORE pain and suffering for Trump BECAUSE HE'S FAILED TO FIRE DIRTY COP ROSENRAT!
Four years ago. We need to investigate his running for office four years ago
Cause Democrats demanded it.
White male with a history of heterosexual behavior ? You bet they want him gone
And did Hillary solicit or accept any campaign contributions towards her future presidential run, during her tenure as Secretary of State?
I hope our guys understand this is lawfare and a continued coup attempt.
If he wasnt 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 wont look into that.
This will backfire.
Of course.
Is this fake news?
Politcians shouldnt accept campaign contributions. Color me shocked.
This guy scares the heck out of Special Council, Deputy AG, Former FBI director Comey, McCabe, Hillary.. and all the other minions involved with this cover-up!
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.
Beat me to it.
