So, in regard to the frequent mentions of the Hatch Act being the reason for no prosecutions, I continue to disagree.
The act prohibits political activity by federal employees such as wearing campaign pins while on duty.
There are several categories of employees who must adhere to varying degrees of restrictions under the act. Nowhere does it state, or is it inferred, that law enforcement and prosecutors doing their jobs is considered political activity prohibited by the act.
In fact, if the DOJ was found to have no justification for delaying prosecutions until after elections other than not tainting voters' opinions of the DNC candidates that they might vote for, that would be a more likely Hatch Act violation. Even that would be a questionable violation.
"THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR"
An Address by
ROBERT H. JACKSON,
Attorney General of the United states

In this address, Jackson stated that while prosecutors must naturally choose which cases to prosecute due to ever present limited manpower and funds, the prosecutor should prosecute every crime that insults the national integrity.
