WH social media director uses official acct to accuse Walter Shaub of "threatening" administration

This is what former Office of Government Ethics director Walter Shaub tweeted a few days ago that upset Dan Scavino this morning:




Shaub was retweeting a warning from Norm Eisen to admin officials that they'd be violating the Hatch Act if they used their official accounts to retweet a post from Donald Trump telling people to vote for Roy Moore.

Scavino's silly response this morning:




Obama’s head of Office of Government Ethics continues to taunt and threaten Trump Administration via Twitter by filing OSC complaints to the office he once oversaw. #CLOWN🤡



Aw, poor little snowflake Scavino...


Shaub's response:




I don’t know whether to be startled by a govt official using an official account to call a citizen names, amused he thinks OGE & OSC are the same agency, flattered I’m in the head of a guy OSC told to stop violating the Hatch Act, or worried by his contempt for the rule of law.

He held on as long as he could but finally couldn't take it anymore. Wiki:

Walter Michael Shaub Jr. (born February 20, 1971) is an American attorney specializing in government ethics who, from January 9, 2013 to July 19, 2017[1], was the director of the United States Office of Government Ethics.[2] As of July 19, 2017, he joined the Washington D.C.-based election law organization, the Campaign Legal Center (CLC), as Senior Director, Ethics.[3]
