Another federal investigation is targeting a Bush administration official, this time for possibly using government resources for partisan political purposes.

The Office of Special Counsel confirmed to ABC News it has launched an investigation into General Services Administration chief Lurita Doan, probing concerns she may have violated a ban against conducting partisan political activity at government expense by participating in a meeting featuring a presentation by a White House political aide on GOP election strategy.

Doan's agency spends over $56 billion a year on paper clips, office space, car fleets and other necessities for federal agencies.

In January, Doan attended a meeting at which senior White House political aide W. Scott Jennings briefed Doan, a White House appointee, and other officials at a GSA facility on Republican plans to win seats in Congress.

1. But I heard the Hatch Act's maximum penalty is dismissal.

Is that so? Is this not gonna amount to much but a crony being replaced by another crony later?

5. Miss Doan't Remember? She remembers the meeting from the

point of cookies and tardiness. Said she remembers someone brought cookies and some others came in late, but not much else. Hope she's also practicing.

7. Doan, is done. Hope she takes Jennings with her - and that he

exposes more Rove actions warranting investigations and convictions as well.

8. For anyone interested I have two YouTube videos up on her testimony
