Saethelred the Unsteady<p>Can we please put *some* important rich people who constantly violate the law in prison? Like maybe even just three or four? <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/loganact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loganact</span></a> <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/hatchact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hatchact</span></a> <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/emolumentsclause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emolumentsclause</span></a> <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/bribery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bribery</span></a> <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/whatevermuskisupto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whatevermuskisupto</span></a></p>
Heidi Li Feldman<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Willis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Willis</span></a> argues that the activities <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meadows</span></a> claims he conducted under color of federal law are also forbidden by the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HatchAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HatchAct</span></a> because they were also efforts to influence an election in favor of one candidate. The entire point of the Act is to make it clear that federal employees cannot lawfully use their offices to do this. 3/</p>
Heidi Li Feldman<p>The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HatchAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HatchAct</span></a> is a federal statute that restricts the political activities of federal employees. It forbids them from using their official authority to influence elections. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which has jurisdiction to investigate whether employees have abided by the Act has already determined that Meadows’ media appearances during the 2020 campaign violated the act. <a href="https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2021/11/09/donald-trump-hatch-act-violations-osc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/</span><span class="invisible">2021/11/09/donald-trump-hatch-act-violations-osc</span></a> 2/</p>
Heidi Li Feldman<p>This memo from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FaniWillis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FaniWillis</span></a>, opposing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MarkMeadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarkMeadows</span></a> motion to remove his criminal prosecution to federal court, is a terrific piece of legal argument. It completely takes down the claim that Meadows was acting under the color of federal law or exercising official authority, mostly by hoisting Meadows on his own petard. 1/ <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23925493/georgia-v-meadows-fulton-removal-response.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">s3.documentcloud.org/documents</span><span class="invisible">/23925493/georgia-v-meadows-fulton-removal-response.pdf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LawFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LawFedi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FultonCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FultonCounty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HatchAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HatchAct</span></a></p>
