Maybe I'm missing something but isn't it a violation of the Hatch Act for Karl to be working on the republicans mid term election strategy (his job description)...while he's receiving a paycheck from the federal government?
2. Hatch act is about fundraising. Rove's a strategist.

And if receiving a paycheck was enough to violate the Hatch Act if you work on strategy then W. AND former President Clinton (and perhaps other presidents) would be guilty as sin of violating it. It's not quite that strict.
Because strategizing is not the same as picking up the phone and begging donors for cash (using a government-paid phone line in a government-paid office) as for as that act goes.
