Let’s just expand this to how much extra business has been diverted to his old business (which he still has lots of stock in) due to the slashing of services at the USPS since he came on board.

Teapot dumbass scandal gives again. My kingdom for one innocent man or woman in the Trump Administration. My thesaurus is out of words for disgraceful, and I even checked the German version.

Let’s not forget all of this happened on Bill Barr’s watch; undoubtedly with his full knowledge. AG Garland probably can’t hire lawyers fast enough to keep up with rampant corruption.

I’m no lawyer, obviously, but can an entire Administration be RICO’d?

Let’s also check if he purchased any stock in the company that makes the fast mechanized mail sorters that will need to be replaced since he had many of the ones that were working quite well removed, dismantled, and destroyed.

And let’s hope DeJoy soon becomes another vivid example of ETTD.

ETA: Come to think of it, he may have had some of the older postal workers removed, dismantled, and destroyed.

This guy has what my mother would generously call “an unfortunate face.” You know, the punchable kind like Cruz and Gaetz.

It’s beginning to look a lot like conspiracy. All of them Katie.

Can we fire this a**hole now? Rachel Maddow has highlighted for months the straw donor scheme that De Joy used and it’s clearly illegal. He’s not entitled to the job. Fire him and let him deal with his issues in court if it comes to that. I doubt there’s much that has been described about how he raised money for the GOP that is in dispute. It’s just a question of whether the acts and associated intent meet the technical definition of a crime. That’s for investigators and lawyers to figure out. That doesn’t mean that what he did isn’t unethical, dirty or that his success with such tactics hasn’t imposed a real cost on the US. We can draw the conclusion that he’s dirty and needs to go because he’s bad for the job.

I would thoroughly en-De-Joy watching this arrogant piece of excrement led from a courtroom in cuffs.

Republicans have expanded the practice of money laundering to campaign finance, and applied the concept of money laundering to conceal the truth about one outrage after the other, via deliberately complex webs of bullshit.

“He has always been scrupulous in his adherence to the campaign contribution laws and has never knowingly violated them,”

“Never knowingly” is carrying a lot of weight there.

Yeah, whatever.

First it was the appointing of new members to the postal board who could, in turn, remove DeJoy. Guess that didn’t work. Now the dangling of a new carrot: investigations. LOL.

The powers that be who want DeJoy gone will have to pry that office out of his cold dead hands. He ain’t going anywhere anytime soon. You can take that to the bank.

Only if “we” is the USPS Board of Governors. TFG was no fool when it came to picking and securing toadies.

Yes, he was smug. And, in fact, Trumpist minions seem to have that characteristic. Great for withstanding criminal investigations.
