According to the Wayne Madsen Report, Hatch Act violations: The Biden administration should nail them and jail them.
The fourth night of the virtual Republican National Convention was a criminal event. By holding the Republican event on the grounds of the White House, Donald Trump and the Republicans not only violated norms of past presidents but also the Hatch Act of 1939, which forbids the involvement of government property and personnel for partisan political activity. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, whose highest education consists of an Associate of Arts (AA) degree from the University of South Florida in general education, one step higher than a high school diploma equivalent General Educational Development (GED) certificate, said that since no one "outside the Beltway" cares about the Hatch Act, there is no problem violating it. Meadows's claim serves as yet another example of the criminality inherent in the entire Trump family and administration. In addition to ignoring federal law, the White House ceremony featuring Trump's nomination acceptance speech was a super-spreader event for the coronavirus. The audience was not spaced apart by six feet nor were the attendees wearing masks. That, in itself, is a violation of a District of Columbia mayoral order requiring everyone over the age of 2 to wear a mask in "crowded outdoor settings." The Trump White House can argue that DC law does not apply to federal grounds, however, it most certainly applies in the access corridors, including sidewalks, streets, and metro lines, to and from the White House grounds. The Trump White House and Republican National Committee also showed further disdain toward public health measures by failing to medically screen the participants of Trump's Hitleresque hatefest on the White House grounds. None of the unmasked attendees were asked whether they had so much as a cough, let alone having their temperatures checked by staff. It really doesn't matter whether many or all of those in the White House audience of 1500 contract the coronavirus and die. Good riddance. After all, the world would be better off without that mass collection of racists, social misfits, perverts, and drink-soaked popinjays once only seen in traveling carnivals coming out of Georgia and Florida. The problem is that after the riffraff came in close contact with one another on the South Lawn of the White House, they went about spreading their respiratory microbes around the city of Washington and into the suburbs, thus posing a serious infection risk to decent citizens whose lives are preciously important. After the inauguration of President Biden, his Attorney General must move immediately to indict Trump, Meadows, and other administration officials for gross violations of the Hatch Act. Indictments should also be returned against Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf for misusing a naturalization ceremony presided over by Trump as a Republican convention event and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for using an official visit to Jerusalem to address the "former GOP" convention. It's now the "former GOP" because there is nothing "grand" or "old" about a party now jam-packed with Qanon conspiracy kooks, neo-Nazis and white supremacists, involuntary celibates, anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers, and other various and sundry undesirables. After Biden fires Henry Kerner, the Trump-appointed head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), the official responsible for enforcing the Hatch Act and who has been derelict in his duties, the new OSC chief should be empowered to move swiftly and recommend to the new Attorney General those Trump officials who should be prosecuted. They should include those involved in other misuse of federal property and personnel for Trump campaign activities, including all the officials involved in the convention speech of Vice President Mike Pence at Fort McHenry in Baltimore and Trump's campaign speech at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. https://ai.neocities.org/WMR00726.html ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T71eabcbb424553f0-Me019655a492c58e22d75b506 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
