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...

More wrongdoing and nothing will come of it.
But it would be nice if he could appoint a special prosecution team to bring down the criminals in the USPS.
So, who’s going to jail or is this just another law that doesn’t apply to our betters?
Did you forget the sarc tag? I don’t waste time shredding junk mail. Got better things to do.
Junk mail is a good thing as it subsidizes real mail.
People should be in jail over this.
Anything with a name/address on it gets shredded.
With ID thieves doing anything including dumpster diving, I’d rather destroy.
I get a discount at UPS for shredding and it’s usually a few pounds.
Got rope?
Where’s Sessions?
I don’t send enough real mail to have it make a difference and I have plenty of company given the volume of electronic communications.
The fact remains that sending an army of expensive letter carriers with expensive benefits and pensions in an expensive fleet of vehicles to deliver slick coated paper that nobody wants and immediately throws away is a cosmically wasteful enterprise on economic, logical and environmental fronts.
