[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, maybe someone was actually harassing her.  Maybe someone was emailing her constantly, being abusive. Maybe yelling at her. Maybe calling her employer and complaining in a way that includes personal attacks and words seeking to get her fired.

It is one thing to Force a competitor to back out if seeking the dem endorsement. It is another to do it in an unprofessional and harassing way that could consequences far beyond this election.

Those are the details I would want to know about before accusing her of playing victim here.[/quote]

+1. I don't know why people are assuming she wasn't wronged.

I also think the people attacking her have never worked for a federal agency. As a federal agency attorney, I would not be at all shocked if (a) she initially got approval, (b) someone kept complaining about her, and (c) higher ups then told her to run as an independent. Many bosses change their mind under pressure, especially in a government bureaucracy. [/quote]

I can't imagine what government agency, especially nowadays, would OK anyone with running in a partisan caucus. You just can't do that under the Hatch Act. I'm sure she was cleared to run as an independent in the School Board race, because it is technically a non-partisan race. But this caucus stuff, seeking the endorsement, is clearly a violation. And she's a lawyer. It's gross and I don't know why anyone, any fed anyhow, is giving her a pass. The Hatch Act may be dumb (as applied to local races like this) but we all have to live with it.

Yeah I really detest the rules don't apply to me mindset.

then when I get called on it, I'm a victim.[/quote]
