A Republican administration or what?

This is hard to believe. Supposedly claiming the need to be nearby for most of the summer at her beach house on Cape Cod, a Special Counsel in the Voting Rights Section of the Justice Department, two summers in a row, apparently arranges for groundless litigation in Massachusetts – unusual motions, one in Springfield and the other in Boston, on novel legal theories seldom if ever used by the Justice Department that both were shot down by the court, including a motion to re-open a case that had been settled two years before. Yet most of her supervision was by phone, which could have been done from her office in Washington equally as well, and the drive of one-and-a-half hours from the beach house to the court was approximately the same a shuttle trip between D.C. and Boston. Oh yes, allegedly she was paid a per diem on top of her regular salary, and the travel expenses between Washington and Cape Cod on a few occasions during the summer were paid for by the government. And her boss, the head of the Voting Rights Section under fire for politicizing the office and doing the opposite of what the office is supposed to do, approved these arrangements.
