Not only did the Office of Special Counsel find that Lurita Doan violated the Hatch Act, the Federal Times reports that the accuracy of Ms. Doan's sworn testimony was brought in to question:

The OSC report went on to pick apart virtually all aspects of Doan’s sworn testimony during the investigation. Among the chapter headings in Bloch’s report: “OSC was unable to corroborate Administrator Doan’s testimony regarding her BlackBerry use,” “None of the witnesses corroborated the administrator’s testimony regarding the San Francisco building,” “Administrator Doan’s allegation that the witnesses were biased against her is not supported by the evidence,” and “Administrator Doan unsuccessfully attempts to exonerate herself by shifting the focus from her lack of memory to the witness’ memory.”

For her part, Doan said she will contest inaccuracies in the report, although at press time she had not specified what those are.

The OSC report, obtained by Federal Times and other publications but not yet officially released, goes well beyond dry legality in its condemnation of Doan’s conduct.

“The GSA Administrator displayed no reservations in her willingness to commit GSA resources, including its human capital, to the Republican Party. … One can imagine no greater violation of the Hatch Act than to invoke the machinery of an agency, with all its contracts and buildings, in the service of a partisan campaign to retake Congress and Governors’ mansions.”

CREW named Doan one of the 25 most corrupt officials in the Bush Administration in our February 2007 report, Criminals & Scoundrels.

Also, an editorial in today's NY Times calls on President Bush to dismiss Doan "for violating one of the most hallowed laws of fairness in government service."
