The Office of the Special Council (OSC) has drafted a report concluding that Lurita Doan, the head of the General Services Administration (GSA), the government agency responsible for service, supply and real estate contracts, violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits certain government officials from entering into partisan political activity.

In other words, she broke the law.

OSC confirmed Doan asked other GSA employees to think how their agency could help "our candidates," following a 2006 PowerPoint presentation by the White House political office on Republicans in tight congressional races, sources told ABC News.
