Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has formally requested the Biden-Harris Gestapo Division of Justice (DOJ) to research Kamala Harris for potential legal misconduct following a extremely politicized press convention.
Mills is pointing to federal legal guidelines that prohibit any federal officer or worker from utilizing their official authority to intervene with or affect an election—a line Harris crossed when she used the workplace of the Vice President to launch vicious assaults in opposition to Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, simply 13 days earlier than Election Day, Harris delivered a determined three-minute unhinged tirade in opposition to Trump, invoking debunked smears and inflammatory rhetoric on the official residence of the Vice President, situated on the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., flanked by the official seal of the Vice President.
Harris wasted no time in seizing on the outrageous declare, stating that Trump needed a navy that was “loyal to him personally” and suggesting that he would use the navy to focus on Americans who opposed him.
Harris went so far as to accuse Trump of evaluating himself to Hitler.
“We all know what Donald Trump needs. He needs unchecked energy. The query, in 13 days, shall be what do the American individuals need?” Kamala mentioned.
In response, Rep. Mills despatched a letter to Legal professional Basic Merrick Garland, urging a right away investigation into whether or not Harris violated federal regulation through the use of her official place to assault a political opponent.
Mills identified that whereas the Hatch Act, which prohibits using official sources for marketing campaign functions, doesn’t apply in civil instances to the President and Vice President, legal provisions nonetheless stand.
Whereas Harris could also be exempt from the Hatch Act, there might nonetheless be moral issues associated to the misuse of her official place.
Mills’s letter, addressed to Garland, reads:
As you might be seemingly conscious, earlier at this time Vice President Kamala Harris gave what was billed as a “press convention” on the official VP residence. Within the below three-minute speech VP Harris solely made vicious political assaults on Republican Presidential Candidate and Former President, Donald J. Trump.
After making a number of defamatory references to Hitler and claiming he would use the American navy to go after Americans, she concluded saying, “We all know what Donald Trump needs. He needs unchecked energy. The query, in 13 days, shall be what do the American individuals need?”
Whereas the Hatch Act, which prohibits utilizing official sources to help partisan political campaigns, doesn’t apply to the President and Vice President in civil provisions, it doesn’t exempt them from legal provisions.
In Federal regulation, it’s a crime for any federal officer or worker to “use his official authority for the aim of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the workplace of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the Home of Representatives.”
Recognizing this concern and as Legal professional Basic, you issued a strict prohibition to your political appointees from collaborating in campaign-related actions in any capability.
As Legal professional Basic, you reply to the President, however your oath is to the Structure and the legal guidelines of the US.
I ask that you simply examine at this time’s questionless “press convention” because it seems to be a direct use of official authority to have an effect on the upcoming election. Given the proximity to the election, the American individuals deserve well timed solutions.”
