WikiLeaks: op NASA Official May Have Broken The Law
[Daily Mail] A NASA director sent a potentially illegal email to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton adviser Cheryl Mills complaining their campaign asked him for donations too frequently.Wikileaks published an email sent from the official government account of John F. Hall, NASA's director of the Export Control and Interagency Liaison Division, that may have violated the Hatch Act, which states that federal officials must not "engage in political activity while on duty or in the workplace," or "political activity in an official capacity at any time." "People during normal working hours aren't supposed to do this," Richard Painter, a professor of corporate law at the University of Minnesota who testified before Congress on the reform of the Hatch Act, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "That's a no-no unless they're confirmed by the Senate. This could be parallel to some of the violations of the Bush White House during the 2006 campaign. The Bush White House got in some trouble for this sort of thing." Posted by: Besoeker 2016-10-14 |
