Fmr. Bush Ethics Lawyer: Comey Violated the Hatch Act

‘The FBI should not allow itself to be used that way, and that’s clearly what happened here’

PAINTER: "Well, we -- these are emails in someone else's computer. These are not on Hillary Clinton's computer, that we know of. And the FBI, of course, is free to continue to conduct whatever investigations it thinks appropriate."
CAMEROTA: "Yes."
PAINTER: "They ought to be investigating who's helping the Russians hack American's computers. But they should not be making statements about candidates for political office on the eve of an election while Americans are still voting."
CAMEROTA: "Yes."
PAINTER: "That is a clear violation of the Hatch Act."
