Prosecutor: White House aide's Twitter threat to Justin Amash violates law

WASHINGTON — An independent prosecutor's office has warned a White House aide that his Twitter threat to target U.S. Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan for defeat in 2018 violated federal law.

The Office of Special Counsel told the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) that it had notified White House Director of Social Media Dan Scavino that his threat was a violation and another such act could be construed as a "willful and knowing violation" of the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from some political activities.

The letter the office sent to CREW was silent on whether it intended to pursue any action against Scavino beyond issuing him a warning.

Scavino's tweet came this spring after Amash, a libertarian Republican from Cascade Township in west Michigan, took a role in helping to block a vote on legislation to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act that was supported by President Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

So telling a politician you want them to lose their job is a threat now? So you should be sent to Leavenworth for threatening Trump with impeachment.
