HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius guilty of breaking the law - Obama does nothing
Abuse Of Power: The White House has dismissed HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' politicking on the taxpayer dime as "an inadvertent error" and is letting her get away with it. It shows a pick-and-choose attitude to law.
...
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was found by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel to be in violation of the Hatch Act for political campaigning on the taxpayer dime last Feb. 25 at a taxpayer-funded event. The penalty for such an act is normally removal from office.
...
Called to answer for its stance by ABC News' Jake Tapper after a week of media silence, White House spokesman Jay Carney explained that the event had since been reclassified as a non-taxpayer event, and the public money used was reimbursed.
...
But the law remains broken no matter what the administration does to reclassify what she did. The next step is impeachment. Congress should do it.
