Hmmmmm…pause the overhaul. Will this include putting back the removed collection boxes and unlocking the locked ones?!?

De Joy got thrown under De Bus.

Somebody told him the State AGs were serious about bringing up criminal charges.

Only leverage he had, like the other Trump collaborators, was to out Trump. Then he knows he’ll get protection from Barr. (A good example of this is Amb. Sondland, Roger Stone, Mike Flynn). Trump didn’t want to be tied to this scandal this late in the election cycle, so he’s telling De Joy to give up the game.

And what about the many many sorting machines that had been removed and thrown in dumpsters–what about them.

Son of a bitch already removed something like 450 sorting machines and removed or locked thousands of mail boxes. Why? Why would someone intentionally instate policies that have already slowed the mail resulting in long delays in people getting meds, checks and bills? Go get em Kamala and Katie. Closing the barn door now does not excuse what the partisan plutocrat has already done to the USPS.
