House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said that former Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis broke the law by soliciting funds for President Obama’s re-election campaign while working in her official capacity:
At the hearing, @GOPoversight released an audio recording of US Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis illegally soliciting funds for Obama campaign

Solis' solicitation of funds for re-elect campaign is a violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits political activity on official time.

Issa said then-Secretary Solis made this call to a department subordinate “off the record,” and solicited funds and/or help to organize a fundraiser for the Obama campaign:

But laws are only for the little people, right?
@lachlan But the Hatch Act is, you know, a law and no one pays attention to those anymore.

@lachlan @JonahNRO Will be more shocked if it actually results in prosecution.
