I notice no one had posted about this. I am not surprised. It is really hard to keep up with the Trump administration's breathtaking violations of the law.
First Thing: an unprecedented night at the RNC – for possible Hatch Act violations | US news | The Guardian
Legal observers said the second night of the RNC may have flouted laws that prevent federal employees from taking part in political activity while on duty.
The bottom line is that Trump, his political allies, and his supporters do not care about the law.

Good morning. Featuring an executive pardon for a bank robber turned social entrepreneur, a naturalisation ceremony for new US immigrants, and a speech from the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, during an official visit to Jerusalem, the second day of the Republican national convention led critics to accuse Donald Trump of turning politics into a series of reality TV-style stunts.
But the implications of this display of presidential power may be more serious: legal observers warned that these segments appeared to violate the Hatch Act, which prevents federal employees from taking part in political activity while on duty, and a senior Democrat on the House foreign affairs committee has launched an investigation into whether Pompeo’s appearance broke the law.
The bottom line is that Trump, his political allies, and his supporters do not care about the law.
