It's a Hatch Act Violation.

Tons of federal employees (maybe all?) received an official email blaming Democrats for the shutdown, too. Also a violation.

And actually enforcing it would be branded as "abusing government for political persecution". It's going to take someone with steel will to actually prosecute all of this crime.
