My heart bleeds for her. She’s not going to have one purple finger; she’s going to have all ten covered in blotter ink. It has already been proven that she was in violation of the Hatch Act. Looks like they will have to drag her out kicking and screaming since she serves at the pleasure of the president. You know these people won’t resign until the president gives them the OK and/or he throws them under the bus. http://www.federaltimes.com/index.php?S=2777859 (filed under DINGBAT) Poor Ms. Doan.

Anyone want to bet she doesn't do that. Anyone want to bet that she declares some kind of "privilege" that says she doesn't have to turn over records. This administrations lack of respect for the rule of law is stunning.
