Housing Secretary Julian Castro violated federal law when he expressed support for Hillary Clinton’s candidacy in an interview with Yahoo News in April, an investigation has found.
That violated the Hatch Act, according to an investigative report submitted to President Obama Monday by the Office of Special Counsel. That law, first passed in 1939, forbids anyone in the executive branch — other than the president or vice president — from using his or her official position to engage in political activity.
Castro admitted the error.
“At the time, I believed that this disclaimer was what was required by the Hatch Act. However, your analysis provides that it was not sufficient,” Castro said in a response to the Office of Special Counsel. “When an error is made — even an inadvertent one — the error should be acknowledged. Although it was not my intent, I made one here.”

What a team!!!!!!
When it is a Dem no matter what the issue is it is always an inadvertent error. Doesn’t matter if it results in treason or any serious violations. Meanwhile the MSM actually has an article that it was *racist* of Melania to plagiarize Moochelle. So much for inadvertent errors!
That would qualify him for a high position in the Clinton administration if you go by the current standards of the justice department and the FBI.
Everyone in Washington these days is an inadvertent error.
Time for some wite-out to fix those errors.
Whoops. Was that an inadvertent racist statement?
Hatch Act. That’s Like soo last century. It has all the relevance of the Constitution.
POS phony…Stanford lib grad of the highest order.
“Intent ” has escaped the facility and you’re all on your own….
Hatch Act trumped by Hillary defense!
