SAN ANTONIO A U.S. Office of Special Counsel report released Monday found that Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro
violated the Hatch Act, which restricts the political activity of some federal employees, during an April interview with Yahoo News.
Castro's statements during the interview, according to a OSC news release, mixed his "personal political views with officials agency business
despite his efforts to clarify that some answers were being given in his personal capacity."
The department found he violated the act by "advocating for and against presidential candidates while giving a media interview in his official capacity on April 4, 2016," the report states.

but he did not intend to violate the law, therefore he did not violate the law. yes?

Clinton Kaine.....great message there.
It is interesting-perhaps in future the position as HUD secretary may be something you might not want to be named to-a thing to be dreaded-sort of like a Ft. Marcy Park that you survive, but are slimed and politically finished...
That little prick Castro, his brother and his commie mami are all raving lunatics-no self-respecting native born Texas Latino wants them in any public office-they do not speak for us...
I wonder if they will prosecute
Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Hatch Act ceased being enforced against dems long ago.... Just the most recent example. As HHS Secretary, Sebelius traveled at taxpayer expense to give an Obama stump speech, and was told to repay travel costs and retake Hatch Act training. Ouch! /s
That is how they will get him out any real punishment, anyway. Hatch Act violations are supposed to result in removal. But nowadays, they have “discretion”.
Nothing will stick ...
Please let it be so!........
The truth is the only thing we share with the likes of Castro-and Cisneros, for that matter-is an ethnicity because of common ancestry-and most of us speak Spanish as a second language-but that is where it ends...
btt
Then Castro will certainly be indicted and go to jail.
Perhaps the first time anyone is reporting on what a Castro does, either in Cuba or here, that is illegal, immoral, unethical or criminal.
The Hatch Act prohibits buggery.
Spot on.
And nothing will be done about it.

Yes, he will get to use the lack of intent defense and violating the Hatch Act, while professional death to most government employees, will be treated like jaywalking by this administration and it’s heir apparent, Hitlery Clinton.
