FCC commissioner broke the law by advocating for Trump, officials find

Republican FCC commissioner Michael O’Rielly broke a federal law preventing officials from advocating for political candidates when he told a crowd that one way to avoid policy changes was to “make sure that President Trump gets reelected,” according to a newly released letter from government officials.

O’Rielly was warned by the officials about making similar comments in the future.

The Hatch Act bars many federal employees from using their offices to influence an election.

After he made the comments, the watchdog group American Oversight filed a letter with the Office of Special Counsel, which handles Hatch Act complaints.

In response to the group’s letter, the Office of Special Counsel said today that O’Rielly did, in fact, violate the Hatch Act.

O’Rielly’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the letter. »

Still, it seems SpaceX’s significant accomplishments have caught the eye of competitor Boeing, who is now going on the offensive and calling out the Falcon Heavy as being too small.
