The title just say "for private gain" and covers gains by the employee themselves or other private citizens.Here is the title of the statue in question:
§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.
And the first section of the statute:
An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise
And the idiot Colfax is arguing private gain doesn't apply.
Which is why endorsing products is against the law, because it uses the government office to create a gain for a private individual whose product is being endorsed.
