This evening NPR was all aghast at this. No surprise there. Even being a Trump supporter my first thought was so the SOS moves into the modern world and does things remotely. Better than Hillary Clinton getting Clinton Foundation kickbacks on a paid for government plane.
To: Marinario
No. Your childish behavior tearing up Trump’s speech on live TV was appalling.

From the article:
Critics accuse Pompeo of violating the Hatch Act, which forbids federal officials from participating in partisan events while on duty.
From the Congressional Research Service:
Certain federal officials, such as assistants to the President paid from appropriations of the Executive Office of the White House, and officials appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate [PAS officials] who determine national policy, while still covered by the Hatch Act Amendments, are exempt from the specific prohibition on engaging in "political activities" while on duty or in a federal office space.

Perhaps she can explain how she made over $200 million while she spouts her outrage? Bribery is such an ugly word.

Pompeo is not a State Department employee. He is the employer.
