WASHINGTON — White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain violated the Hatch Act and was warned not to do so again, according to a document obtained by The Post.

The Office of Special Counsel said in a letter dated Wednesday that Klain, a prolific Twitter user, ran afoul of the law restricting the political activities of certain officials by retweeting a message urging people to purchase “Democrats Deliver” merchandise.

Ana Galindo-Marrone, chief of the Hatch Act Unit at the OSC, described the official assessment of Klain’s infraction in a letter to the America First Legal Foundation, a pro-Donald Trump group that filed a complaint against Klain.

“Although OSC has concluded that Mr. Klain violated the Hatch Act, as explained below, we have decided not to pursue disciplinary action and instead issued him a warning letter,” Galindo-Marrone wrote.

Imagine the outrage from the media if Trump’s chief of staff had done this.

A Democrat in Biden’s admin caught in an illegal activity? I’m sure justice will prevail ... in a hundred years or so

“Warned not to do it again”

If he were a Republican he would be in Federal Prison already.
The law may be the same, but the law enforcement is completely different by the DOJ.

Having laws, that only apply to one political group, is Fascist and Tyrannical..........

If I violated the Hatch Act I wouldn’t get a warning. I’d get a day or two on the beach.
