The United States Postal Service violated federal law by letting employees do union-funded work for Hillary Clinton's campaign and other Democratic candidates while on leave from the agency, according to an Office of Special Counsel report obtained by Fox News.
The OSC determined the USPS "engaged in systemic violations" of the Hatch Act, a federal law that limits certain political activities of federal employees. While employees are allowed to do some political work on leave, the report said the Postal Service showed a "bias" favoring the union's 2016 campaign operation.
The investigation was launched months ago after Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., brought constituent complaints to the OSC in October. The constituent, identified as a USPS employee, was concerned the Postal Service “incurred unnecessary overtime costs” and “improperly coordinated” with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) when it released members for several weeks of “union official” leave without pay to participate in campaign work.
“The Labor 2016 program sought to ‘elect Hillary Clinton and pro-worker candidates across the country,’” the report said, citing campaign work like door-to-door canvassing, phone banks and other get-out-the-vote efforts.
According to the report, roughly 97 NALC members requested the leave without pay to participate. The NALC, which endorsed Clinton last June, compensated those USPS workers using the Letter Carrier Political Fund, the union’s PAC.
According to the report, 82 percent of the work took place in 2016 battleground states: Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Officials at multiple levels apparently were involved.

Let those who violated the Hatch Act be fired, then fine and jailed as appropriate.
AG Sessions will be sending out arrest warrants any day now...............................
Yeah, they’ll get right on that after they bring Lois Lerner to justice.
No kidding. Talk about destroying evidence....and there are still idiot liberals chirping about the “no-scandal Obama administration”.
Liars and stupid. Unbelievable.
What will happen? NOTHING!
Hard time for the perps and privatization for the Post Office.
.... Not to mention that for some reason years ago the Obama Administration decided to give Diane Feinstein’s husband’s company the contract to sell vacant USPS Buildings and could actually stand to make Billions of bucks off of the deal.
Really?
So—How many are losing their jobs?
Going to jail?
Everyone in DC knows that the Lerner operation was orchestrated from the white house. That’s why the whole entire investigation was shut down so quickly. If they had even half of that kind of dirt on Trump we’d never hear the end of it.
Yes, they all belong in prison with no release.
And when the Hillaryites were gone, and while she was drunk in her hotel room, the USPS had to pay overtime to cover for them.
I wonder how many military absentee ballots got “lost”.
Prosecute them. It’s time to enforce the law.
Hey, USPS, in regards to Hillary, Return to Sender!
They could have done more for Hillary by simply staying on the job and stuffing mail-in ballots for her. In states where they have mail-in voting, I’ve always felt the Dems were not only stuffing votes but selectively “losing” mail-in ballots from high-GOP neighborhoods.
The fix was in by the whole entirety of Fedgov Swamp. This is why they are all furious. They thought the Kenyan Usurper would just hand the keys over as they wipe their butts with the Constitution. I loathe these swamp scum.
I am so grateful that we have a hard charging AG and FBI to uphold the rule of law!
