I think he was a moron for doing what he did, but he may have a case. With the IG report saying there was no political bias in his work on the Clinton investigation despite his poor judgement and the pressure from Trump being so public, there is a mound of evidence on his side of the case. That's before getting into possible other evidence we are unaware of regarding the handling of other personnel situations.

You're representative of your employer. Being a leo aside, an employer shouldnt be restricted in their first amendment rights, either. 

But being a leo, to me, it's even more of an issue. Like the cop in Chattanooga who was openly hostile towards gays. It casts a shadow of doubt on all his work, even of there were 100 percent substantiated, evidenced arrests.
