Obama is going to be extremely angry about this when he reads about it in the papers. I bet he will then form a self investigation team and not be able to comment until their findings have been concluded. :lol:

Judicial Watch alleges that in 2009 then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and then-deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina, on behalf of the Obama administration, both used their position and influence as highly placed federal employees to affect the outcome of federal elections – in direct violation of the Hatch Act, which states that an employee may not “use his official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election.”

On May 30, 2013, OSC Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner informed Judicial Watch that because Emanuel and Messina had left government employment, “the complaints against Mr. Emanuel and Mr. Messina have been closed without further action.” In a June 28 letter to Lerner Judicial Watch responded that the OSC had failed to take any action throughout the period they had remained federal employees – Emanuel for three months and Messina for seven months, which was a sufficient amount of time after the original complaint had been filed for OSC to have taken action. Judicial Watch also questioned the “rule” under which OSC claimed they do not investigate wrongdoing after employees leave government employment.

Ironically, the Office of Special Counsel against which Judicial Watch has now filed a FOIA lawsuit is charged with investigating charges against federal agencies that have allegedly violated FOIA regulations. According to 5 U.S. Code § 552, “the Special Counsel shall … conduct an investigation of any allegation concerning …arbitrary or capricious withholding of information prohibited under [FOIA] …”

“It is shameful that the Office of Special Counsel, which is supposed to enforce corruption and transparency laws, is covering up this Obama bribery scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is corrupt and illegal to offer federal jobs to help political campaigns as the Obama White House did (with the help of the ethically-challenged Bill Clinton).”

It's got to be the fault of those gun owning TEA party extremists for not just wanting to give in to total totalitarianism like good little commie citizens. The regimes minions will do what they must.
