“Department of Education employees furloughed this week discovered their email accounts had been manipulated while they were out of office to include partisan talking points that blamed a government shutdown on Democrats,” NBC News reports.

“Five employees who spoke with NBC News and provided copies of their out-of-office messages said the wording was altered from how they originally had composed them.”

Said one: “None of us consented to this. And it’s written in the first-person, as if I’m the one conveying this message, and I’m not. I don’t agree with it. I don’t think it’s ethical or legal. I think it violates the Hatch Act.”

1. All forms of impersonation, digital, wire fraud, damages.

They are trying to extinguish opposition, debate, free speech. This is as bad as it gets in history. You are not allowed to talk let alone think.

2. I wonder if the victims could sue for false representation

(Let along criminal charges re Hayes Act, which will have to wait)
