Watchdog Group Alleges Stephen Miller Violated Federal Law by Criticizing Joe Biden on Fox News

Senior Policy Advisor to the President Stephen Miller probably violated federal law during a recent appearance on Fox News — according to a nonprofit government watchdog organization.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a formal complaint with the Office of Special Counsel accusing Miller of violating the Hatch Act over comments he made that were critical of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Miller was asked a question about former president Barack Obama‘s eulogy for Civil Rights hero and longtime congressman John Lewis.

During his answer, the White House advisor said:

Well as you know Joe Biden is stuck in a basement somewhere and he just emerges every now and again and somebody hands him a note card and he says whatever his 23-year-old staffer tells him to say and then, he dutifully disappears to be seen a week later.

So far, the problem is that when somebody says, "Law", they say, "Yeah, right, nyah nyah! What are you going to do about it?" and, "Make me!"

How to hold criminals in a position of power accountable for their actions seems to be our real problem. Otherwise, our expectations of the law being followed and justice being served are going to be dashed again and again. This also breaks down trust and moral for the people; it's toxic and detrimental.

This MisAdminstration is now completely rogue and it is like being taken over by some foreign power.

have apparently magically been rendered null and void by Barr's 'Justice' Department, at least as they pertain to the Tangeranus Regime.
