Am I missing something? I assumed we were talking about the ACORN employees indicted for voter registration fraud. If so, they are not federal government employees, they are employees of an organization that receives federal funds.
And they aren't being accused of having a conflict of interest, they are accused voter fraud.
What am I missing here?
