If there wasn't reason to suspect far reaching "tentacles", why go the Inspector General route? This situation could have been handled by DOJ, right? The same DOJ that refuses to prosecute friends of the administration?Senior FAA officials accused of telling workers 'job security' at risk if GOP wins
Two federal agency supervisors allegedly warned employees earlier this year that a Republican takeover in Washington could threaten their jobs -- comments that some workers apparently took as guidance on "how to vote" and that one group claims may have violated federal law.
Nonprofit watchdog Cause of Action wrote a letter Wednesday asking the Department of Transportation's inspector general to launch a probe into the incident, involving senior officials with the Federal Aviation Administration. The incident occurred in May during a meeting at the FAA's Seattle office, according to the letter.
The Cause of Action letter requesting an IG investigation expressed concern that the comments may have violated the Hatch Act, which bars federal employees from partisan political activity.
An FAA spokesman said in a statement Wednesday that the agency would cooperate with any review.
"The FAA takes Hatch Act violation allegations very seriously and will cooperate fully with any review of the allegations," the spokesman said.
Dan Epstein, executive director of Cause of Action, called the alleged incident an "egregious abuse of power for political gain."

Oh? I was under the impression that Romney hasn't been very specific about what he'd cut or not cut. Did you get an advance notice of some sort?
We have 145,000 more government workers under this president. Let’s send them home and put you back to work.”
much of that increase has come in areas that Romney says he wants to bolster as president, such as defense (80,000 additional jobs), veterans affairs (38,000) and homeland security (20,000). Presumably he would think such increases are a good thing — not jobs he would want to eliminate.
If he's hell bent on eliminating 145,000 Federal Jobs and it likely won't be in the areas that were increased since he likes those too, what will Mittens cut?
