“The board is tickled pink, each single board member, with the influence he’s having,” Republican board member John Barger informed the Senate Homeland Safety and Governmental Affairs Committee. “He is a wonderful chief. He is a wonderful supply-chain logistics savant. And I am very, very happy together with his efficiency since approaching board.” You may bear in mind from earlier tales that Barger is the man that amplified a New York Submit story that Eric Trump and the Trump marketing campaign have been circulating about how susceptible mail-in ballots are to manipulation. He additionally calls that paper “respected,” so you realize this man is totally within the tank for Trump. What we do not know is whether or not he has additionally carried out unlawful money-raising for the massive boss, but it surely looks as if a fairly good wager.
Robert Duncan, the chairman of the board of governors—who sits on the boards of tremendous PACs for each Trump and Sen. Mitch McConnell and took part within the Republican Nationwide Conference, chanting on video “4 extra years”—declined to remark to the Submit on the board assembly. Nor did the 2 Democrats who serve on the board, Donald Lee Moak and Ron Bloom. Nevertheless, William Zollars, one the Republicans (there are 4, versus two Democrats on the board) raved as effectively. “From a logistics and operations standpoint, Louis DeJoy is nearly as good because it will get,” he informed the Submit. As for that alleged pesky marketing campaign finance criminality? Zollars mentioned that DeJoy informed them “that he looks like he has carried out nothing incorrect,” in order that apparently works for them.
That can most likely fly with the Republican Homeland Safety Committee headed up by the dumbest man in Washington, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. It’s not working for Democrats. “When given the chance to revive confidence within the USPS, the board of governors as we speak selected as a substitute to proceed their dereliction of responsibility,” Rep. Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia, the chair of the Home subcommittee liable for postal oversight, mentioned in a press release to the Submit. “Mr. DeJoy’s time period as Postmaster Normal has been outlined by battle, sabotage, incompetence and politicization. Something wanting his quick removing is a complete failure in oversight and accountability.”
The board is just not going to take away DeJoy. That implies that the Home investigations have to proceed, and proceed shortly. The one technique to get DeJoy booted is to make him poison to Trump and to Republicans.
