All of these employees with the Department of Justice (DOJ) are classified as Restricted employees under the Hatch Act. As such, they are not allowed to make partisan campaign contributions or be involved in or in support of partisan candidates, partisan political campaigns or partisan political parties. It is a violation of Federal law under the Hatch Act for these restricted Federal employees to be involved in supporting or opposing partisan political candidates or partisan political campaigns. It is also a violation of Federal law under the Hatch Act for restricted Federal employees to make campaign contributions to Federal candidates that are classified as their "boss" or in leadership over their respective department or agency, or involved in the funding of their department, agency or salary.
It is particularly egregious that DOJ employees are making campaign contributions to a partisan Congressional campaign, partisan PAC or Presidential campaign when the candidate they are contributing to is directly involved decisions that effect the DOJ, i.e. the President and members of Congress, and in the nominating and approving of Federal Judges and leadership at the DOJ.
