TALKING POINTS----MISUSE OF POSITION AND GOVERNMENT RESOURCES
SOURCE https://www.justice.gov/jmd/misuse-position-and-government-resources
A govt employee may not use his official position, including information learned by virtue of his position, for his personal benefit or for the benefit of others.
================================================
The FBI’s unprecedented criminal efforts to steer a presidential election and frame a newly elected president serves as Exhibit A for MISUSE OF POSITION AND GOVERNMENT RESOURCES------a govt employee may not use his official position, including information learned by virtue of his position, for his personal benefit or for the benefit of others. Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Baker, Ohr, Yates, Priestap — there are more---took unlawful action — were negligent or complicit with a clear goal: get Hillary elected by stopping candidate Trump. The FBI willfully and corruptly faked a counter-intelligence investigation to smear and destroy Trump.
The FBI on Friday sent a classified letter to House GOP officials disclosing whether the agency used top-secret confidential informants in the Trump campaign prior to opening an investigation into Russian election meddling, Fox News has learned. Congressional Republicans had formally demanded an explanation from the FBI after numerous former Trump officials said they suspected the agency had attempted to infiltrate the campaign. In a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes, R-Calif., obtained by Fox News, the FBI says its confidential explanation outlines whether the "FBI utilized confidential human sources prior to the issuance of the Electronic Communication initiating that investigation."

In-kind contributions----FEC.com
An in-kind contribution is a non-monetary contribution;when an entity pays for services, the payment is an in-kind contribution. An expenditure made by any person or entity in cooperation, consultation or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate’s campaign is also considered an in-kind contribution to the candidate. The value of an in-kind contribution—the usual and normal charge—counts against the contribution limit as a gift of money does. Additionally, like any other contribution, in-kind contributions count against the contributor’s limit for the next election, unless they are otherwise designated.
Reporting on candidate forms House and Senate committees report in-kind contributions from individuals on Form 3, Line 11(a). In-kind contributions from party committees are reported on Line 11(b), and in-kind contributions from PACs are reported on Line 11(c). When determining whether to itemize an in-kind contribution, treat it the same as a monetary contribution. In-kind contributions from other committees are itemized regardless of the amount. In-kind contributions from individuals are itemized if the contributions from the source aggregate over $200 during the election cycle. The amount of an in-kind contribution must also be included in the committee’s total operating expenditures on Line 17 in order to avoid inflating cash on hand. It is itemized as an operating expenditure on Schedule B, supporting Line 17, only if it has to be itemized as a contribution on Schedule A.
