An employee at the Federal Election Commission, the nonpartisan federal agency that oversees campaigns, has resigned after admitting to campaigning for President Obama in 2012, in violation of federal laws.

The employee, a lawyer whose name wasn’t divulged, solicited campaign donations for Mr. Obama and other political campaigns, and even took part in a web broadcast from an FEC facility where the employee criticized the GOP and Republican 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

But have no worries, friends, the FEC has taken action, or rather allowed action to be taken:

FEC spokeswoman Judith Ingram said they placed the employee on administrative leave once the allegations were made, and that the employee has agreed to resign — but she said the case shouldn’t tarnish the rest of the agency.

Now wait for it, wait for it... the best part of all:

“The commission is not aware of any information suggesting that these activities were anything other than the isolated acts of a single employee,” she said.
