A staffer at the Department of Justice is in hot water after sending a tweet about Melania Trump from the agencys Twitter account.
In a statement Tuesday, a Justice official said a staffer in the public affairs office erroneously used the official Department of Justice Twitter handle to post a tweet that was intended for a personal account.
CNN is the biggest troll of all lmao #Petty, the staffer reportedly tweeted with a CNN story about Donald Trumps campaign denying accusations that his wife plagiarized a 2008 speech from Michelle Obama when speaking at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday night.

So a "TWEET" can get a staffer in trouble BUT the DOJ can not say if Clinton's misuse of classified information would get he in trouble. Anyone else see the double standard here? Rules only apply if they want them too!

While the DOJ is all 'a twitter' about an unauthorized or improper 'tweet', Hillary Rotten Criminal remains free as a bird:

Just covering their rear because of some blatant un-scripted remark from one of their own kind. Doubt any repercussions.

With the tweet being:
CNN is the biggest troll of all lmao #Petty, It sounds like it was a pro Trump person. Thus the reason for the admonishment. If they had tweeted something positive about Hillary, we would have never heard about it.

.. what difference does it make !

Why are we paying Government employees to tweet in the first place?
To: Robert DeLong
That’s the way I read it as well.
But surely there are no actual Americans left at JustUs ? !

The person may not mind it, I’m sure it involves extra pay!!!
To: blueyon
So was the Tweet pro or anti-Trump? The Tweeter was dissing CNN, but I guess he could have been suggesting that CNN is too pro-Trump. That’s how I read it.
To: mkjessup
And a judge on the SCOTUS can publicly make nasty statements about Trump, without impunity.
