Joe Biden’s handlers are not content with the fact that they managed to get rid of Donald Trump, because now they’re going after his supporters and pretending as though they have the law on their side.The Office of the Special Counsel has issued a warning to a New York sheriff that he allegedly violated an 82-year-old law that prevents federal workers from doing political stuff in their official capacity.Syracuse.com reports:The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has issued a warning letter to Oswego County Sheriff Don Hilton after investigating a complaint that the department flew a Trump flag from a government-owned boat last summer,

The leftist want to cancel any remnant, memory, accomplishment, picture or mention of Donald Trump, his family and his supporters. No one is allowed to talk or think about his contributions to make America Great Again.

How can a sheriff in New York be considered a "federal worker?" Add to that the arrest of the Alabama member of the Oath Keepers just because he is an Oath Keeper, attended the Jan. 6 Rally, and communicates with his fellow Oath Keepers and one can see how this country has lost its Constitutional protections. We are fast approaching the reason for the Second Amendment.

Good idea. The article clearly noted that the Trump flag was flown LAST year. They should have waited to see whose flag was flown THIS year and then wet their drawers.

There are no words for this duplicity. In the argument taken to the extreme, for example, I receive social security. Do I not have a right to display political flags?

What a joke! The entire Obama administration engaged in politics and their DOJ was silent.

So a sheriff can't show political favoritism (and I understand that), but it's okay to select a Secretary of Defense for solely political reasons (to indoctrinate the force) and to allow the PR branch of DOD to attack conservative journalists. Imagine if Trump's DOD spokesman had done that to Jim Acosta!

What, oh what should they do about the FBI, DHS, DOD, CIA, DOJ, etc. based on this 82-year-old law and political stuff in official capacity? I wonder. . .

First of all, A County Sheriff is not a "federal worker".
Second of all, After all of the actual violations of the Hatch Act that have taken place over the last four and a half years, and have actually damaged the nation, yet gone unremarked upon by these expletives who run the OSC, they are worried about what some county Sheriff did that had no effect upon the nation, just 'triggered' some biden loving snowflakes in Oswego County???
Their excuse;l The sheriff's department got some grant money from the feds..
WELL, LET HIS BE A LESSON TO EVERY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IN THE COUNTRY:
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FROM THE FEDS.
I told my County Sheriff years ago, not to take anything from the Feds. If they actually need anything that the county budget can't cover, I and Constitution loving patriots like me will take up a collection.

The Rats are nowhere near as clever as they think they are. They've now set a precedent, and the next time the GOP runs the Executive Branch, they can apply the Hatch Act to every union that receives federal taxpayer dollars.

I assume the same warning was given to Scott Stalker, Gen. Paul E. Funk II and all other US military members who have used official gov't Twitter pages to attack Tucker Carlson.

But having US embassies fly The Gay Flag is not political? The sheriff should keep on flying the Trump flag, and below that fly a Come and Take It flag.

He violated the law. The problem I have is that the Hatch Act and OSC are jokes. There were signs placed in Federal office building windows promoting Obama for President. I know...I saw them and pointed them out to the proper authority...who promptly did nothing. I dropped an e-mail on OSC. no interest.
Now, let this be a warning to local and state employees...you take Federal money, you deal with Federal law. If someone wants to bust you for partisan political activity, they will. This sheriff could have been removed from office. No kidding.

A sheriff is a locally elected law enforcement officer who is responsible ONLY to the voters who elected him, and the feds have ZERO authority over him.

Tell them to go pound sand. If the Feds show up, arrest them and slowly process their paperwork.

#17 - You take the Fed money... The sheriff said, “I have reassured the chairman and other members of the (county) Legislature that it will not occur again.” Why not? Even sheriffs are responsible to someone, and not only the voters. So, he walked away with a reprimand from OSC. Now, had that been a Biden flag...oh, my! Some parties would be looking for a head on a spike.
