Partially redacted documents (click here) with classified markings, including colored cover sheets indicating their status, that FBI agents reported finding in former president Donald Trump’s office at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
That picture is just mesmerizing. Highly classified documents with human lives in the balance strewn with Time magazine. The White House staff couldn't get Trump to read PDBs and this is what happens to the USA's most secret of secrets. Something has to be done about it. This is more than negligence. This is an outrage. He couldn't give a damn about the country, the people or those he compromised that loved this country.
There was nothing sacred to Trump. His lawyers let him get away with it. There were no stops. All Trump cared about was the leverage he could create for himself in whatever perverted idea he had about the world. He had no respect for life. This fits in to the hideous man we witnessed during the pandemic news conferences with injectable bleach and penetrating UV light. How can any sane and loyal American give credence to this idiocy?

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland (click here) on Tuesday imposed new restrictions on partisan activity by political appointees at the Justice Department, a policy change that comes ahead of the midterm elections.
The new rules prohibit employees who are appointed to serve for the duration of a presidential administration from attending rallies for candidates or fund-raising events, even as passive observers.
Under the Hatch Act, which bars federal employees from engaging in political activities while on the job, the department had previously allowed appointees to attend such events as passive participants provided they had permission from a supervisor.
That is now banned. Under the new policy, the department also prohibits appointees from appearing at events on election night or to support relatives who are running for office. Both had been allowed in the past with prior approval....
The Hatch Act fights corruption. It was always there to enforce, it is just that the Attorney General is correct in enforcing it. Basically, rubbing elbows with those influential is not allowed. The simple appearance of impropriety is not to be on display. It is about time there was no looking the other way.
The Hatch Act, (click here) a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.
There is nothing like having a candidates Megadonor at a rally and low and behold who shows up but someone from inside the government to make the donations seem so worth it.
From CNN:
Ya think? But, it also gives the GOP/MAGA a chance at being elected this November.
