Lets start with the statute:
Whoever, being a person employed in any administrative position by the United States, or by any department or agency thereof, or by the District of Columbia or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or by any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States, or any political subdivision, municipality, or agency thereof, or agency of such political subdivision or municipality (including any corporation owned or controlled by any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States or by any such political subdivision, municipality, or agency), in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, uses his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
This section shall not prohibit or make unlawful any act by any officer or employee of any educational or research institution, establishment, agency, or system which is supported in whole or in part by any state or political subdivision thereof, or by the District of Columbia or by any Territory or Possession of the United States; or by any recognized religious, philanthropic or cultural organization.
18 USC 595
Which state or US district attorney has the testicular fortitude to bring this case?
Myself, I find the statute fairly cut and dry. Now I'm a moron, so maybe there is something big that I'm missing here. The elements for example of the statute.
We all should know the hoax about Russia's election interference. That was based on bullsnip yet was allowed through.
Conversely, the US has violated this abroad since the inception of the CIA. It's policy.
Who thinks they wouldn't do it here at home?

If things go the way I'd like, those positions will not be refilled.
3) The person used their official authority for the PURPOSE of interfering or affecting nomination or election (intent is always the hardest part to prove)

The US Code is merely a suggestion these days. The government breaks those codes DAILY, everyday, 365.
If you read the US Code, it'll piss you off because you're scratching your head wondering why the fk aren't people in prison or worse!???!!!
Check out Title 8, it's a doozy. It'll leave you wondering if it's purposely being ignored. I think it is, imo.
