Criswell: ‘There Is Nothing in Our Policies ... That Would Direct Any Employee to Bypass Anybody’s Home Based on Their Political Party’

EXCERPT:

CRISWELL: “Chairman Perry, there is nothing in our policies, in our procedures, in our training that would direct any employee to bypass anybody's home based on their political party. I cannot speak to what her motivations were, but this came to my attention again on November 7th. I directed my team to get me information. They gave me factual information on November 9th, which is when I directed the termination of this employee. This first came to our Office of Professional Responsibility on October 28th through the team member from TSA who was working under this individual. She immediately raised it to the Office of the Special Counsel who took the case as a potential violation of the Hatch Act.”
