Political consultant Luke Thompson wrote: '@AOC decided to put her boyfriend on staff. Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly'
Former chairman of the House Oversight Committee said it's 'inappropriate'
But AOC hit back, writing: 'Congressional spouses get Gcal access'
Her chief of staff also argued the move was normal for a partner or spouse

As news of her boyfriend's email was shared online Jason Chaffetz, former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told Fox: 'It's totally naive and inappropriate – you wouldn't allow it in most companies, let alone the House of Representatives. There should be real consequences.
Are there any Democrat Party pols who are not corrupt?
Another Wiener.
You have to carefully state everything you say.
Your opinions must match hers.
It would be like personally castrating yourself.
He’s the beard man.
Need you ask?
Luke got suspended by twitter as well.
Giving them a House email account makes them look like they work in Congress. They can do this another way.
I thought only PAKEES,(As in Wassermans boys) were given ‘run of the place’ Her guy seems NOT a PakEE to me....
How do you submit a FOIA request?
why is the US government using Google for anything??
Google is not our friend.

Strange policy to have. I’ve never seen any other case where non-govt employees are given official government email accounts except for govt contractors, and in those cases the contractor identification is unambiguous and part of the email address. You would think that family members would have a secure login to check a calendar and not have a govt email account.
What do you guys want?
She can’t give a .gov email account for her sig other, and she can’t have a server in the john either?
If you are serious, there are some points to consider.
First go to the government website for the agency you want information from and learn their FOIA procedure. The address should be there.
Second you can only ask for documents. You cannot ask interrogatory questions.
Your request has to be carefully constructed to get exactly what you want. Generally speaking FOIA and PA requests have a 30 day deadline for them to answer your request. However if you are too pointed and want something embarrassing, they may come back at you about how laborious your request is and that it will take much longer.
This is why The Awan Brothers were so great! They could give anyone access and take phone calls for help. Don’t why they left...…….
And why exactly does he need to see her calendar? He’s a “web developer” It’s not like he needs to know what she is doing on an hourly basis. Unless of course there are other reasons. Like money? Ya think?
I’ve filed dozens of FOIA requests. I recommend doing it yourself. Third parties may not have the same interests you do and choose not to do it for you, or get a reply and never share it with you.
It’s not that difficult. Just be professional in your language. If you need help with writing a business style letter, ask a friend to help, then sign it, mail it, and you will then get the results yourself.
