Since the office of Minority Leader Reid – who abused the floor of the United States Senate to libel a presidential candidate, is now in the business of determining Hatch Act violations, allow us to help them get a head start on a new case:
On January, 2015, While Feingold Was Serving At The State Department, The Chairman Of The DSCC Spoke To Feingold About Potentially Running For Senate
- Jon Tester, Chairman Of The DSCC, Spoke To Feingold In January 2015 About Potentially Running For His Old Senate Seat. “Tester said he talked to former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) in early January about a potential rematch against Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). Feingold has been seriously considering a run, and Tester said he’d learned his lesson from what many Democrats viewed as a lackluster 2010 campaign.” (Cameron Joseph, “Senate Democratic Campaign Chairman: Majority Or Bust In 2016,” The Hill, 2/5/15)
Prior To Leaving The State Department, Feingold Reached Out To Supporters And Other Democratic Elected Officials To Discuss Running For Senate
- Prior To Leaving The State Department, Feingold Spoke To Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), And Others About The Possibility Of Running For Senate. (Amanda Terkel And Ryan Grim, “Russ Feingold Could Rejoin The Senate In 2016,” The Huffington Post, 2/26/15)
Feingold Served As A Special Envoy At The State Department From June 2013 Until February 2015
- In June 2013, Feingold Was Named As U.S. Envoy To The African Great Lakes Region And The DRC. (Steven Lee Myers, “Ex-Senator Feingold Chosen As Special Envoy To African Region,” The New York Times, 6/18/13)
- In February 2015, Feingold Resigned As Special Envoy To The African Great Lakes Region. (Russ Feingold To Leave Special Envoy Post As Speculation Grows He’ll Challenge Ron Johnson, The Associated Press, 2/21/15)
On Friday, Reid exposed Mr. Clean as the ultimate campaign finance hypocrite with a multi-million dollar bailout from his super PAC.
Will the minority leader strike again and expose Senator Russ Feingold for violating federal law?
