Sean O'KeefeGUEST
Being a public servant requires the courage to step up, regardless of whether you're wearing uniform or not.
Terry GertonHOST
Josh, the paper points out, though, that MSPB and the Office of Special Counsel have been re-engineered under the Trump administration, and those paths might not be so productive anymore.
Terry GertonHOST
What do you want federal employees to think through?
Josh GotbaumGUEST
Before you get to the point... of having to decide, okay, do I do it or quit? You should ask questions about it.

Mark EiglarshGUEST
And that was enough for the judge to let them search.
McGraw MilhavenHOST
So they're also reporting that the request to the judge came from the Office of Special Counsel.
McGraw MilhavenHOST
Does that matter, that it's not necessarily a traditional DOJ inquiry, but from the Office of Special Counsel from the White House?
Mark EiglarshGUEST
Not to me it doesn't.
Mark EiglarshGUEST

speaker_22SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A couple things that strike me here.

One, to the ambassador's point on the Hatch Act, I think the first call by reporters, including myself, which I'll make after this, is to the Office of Special Counsel, 'cause they, of course, are the government agency that enforce, uh, the Hatch Act here.

speaker_22SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, they didn't want to be politicking as, uh, their duty as a civil servant there.

But anyways, Eisen announced on social media that a non-profit group he works for had requested an investigation into whether the administration officials violated the Hatch Act by, quote-unquote, "orchestrating the search of Miss Omar's home."

CannConHOST

CannConHOST
But let's get into the Saara Noor, 'cause we covered this on Daily, uh, several months back.

Vaughn HillyardCORRESPONDENT
Mm-hmm
Peter AlexanderHOST
... would be the Office of Special Counsel.

Karine Jean-Pierre even got a, a slap on the wrist for her, for what she said as it related to the Hatch Act when she referred to them as MAGA Republicans.
Peter AlexanderHOST
This went way further in terms of crossing that line.
