Government parasites——Snipes and Lerner——just the tip of the iceberg
Putting Snipes aside because she is state & county.
However Lerner is what you get when you don’t rigorously enforce the Hatch Act. Republicans administrations pretend to, Rat administrations “Hatch Act? What’s a Hatch Act?”. Lerner had federal jobs that were directly involved with the political process. Prior to her IRS gig (granting exempt status to “political fund raising organizations”) she was a FEC bureaucrat where she was notoriously partisan! If she had been fired there or even reprimanded she might have thought twice before she did her IRS shenanigans.
