$($When watching the video, please pay particular attention to the Administrative process and the ethical issues that you have been learning.$)$ Ine fact pattern has been outlined as follows:

In $2010,$ SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed when she was pulled under water by Tilikum, a whale at the park. OSHA compliance officer Lara Padgett participated in the OSHA investigation of Ms$.$ Brancheau's death. OSHA issued SeaWorld willful violations after concluding its investigation into Ms$.$ Brancheau's death.

In $2014,$ SeaWorld delivered a complaint to the Department of Labor that accused Ms$.$ Padgett of ethics violations in her investigation. The complaint alleges that Ms$.$ Padgett had improper contacts with animal$-$rights activists as well as the makers of the film Blackfish, a $2013$ Sundance Film Festival entry that has been available on CNN and Netflix. The complaint included photos of Ms$.$ Padgett at the Sundance premiere as well as with the film's makers at other times. The complaint also alleged that Ms$.$ Padgett had transferred confidential investigation documents to one of the film's producers. Ms$.$ Padgett stayed with the film crew while at Sundance, something the film's producer said was due to a "housing shortage."

SeaWorld's six$-$page complaint included $200$ pages of exhibits, including some posts from Ms$.$ Padgett on social media such as$,$ "Wow $...$ Take that Sea World $[$sic$]!!!!$ They've got to be getting nervous now." The post was written in July $2013$ after Blackfish opened in Europe.

OSHA pledged to look into the allegations. SeaWorld's complaint alleges that Ms$.$ Padgett "violated the Standards of Ethical Conduct for government employees $...$ as well as other requirements of federal law." OSHA's Office of the Inspector General had begun an investigation in January $2014$ when photos of Ms$.$ Padgett with those associated with the film first emerged. One of the photos showed Ms$.$ Padgett with those from the film in a "Charlie's Angels" pose with air guns at the New York City premiere of Blackfish.
