House Democrats are opening an investigation of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and called for his immediate suspension following accusations that he reimbursed employees for campaign contributions they made to his preferred GOP politicians, an arrangement that would be unlawful.


Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) said in a statement late Monday that the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which she chairs, would begin an inquiry, saying that DeJoy may have lied to the panel under oath.

Maloney also urged the Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service to immediately suspend DeJoy, whom “they never should have hired in the first place,” she said. Echoing her call for DeJoy’s suspension were other Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.).


A spokesman for the Postal Service referred requests for comment to DeJoy’s personal spokesman, Monty Hagler, who said in an email that the postmaster general had no comment at this time.


Maloney’s announcement came a day after The Washington Post reported allegations that DeJoy and his aides urged employees at New Breed Logistics, his former North Carolina-based company, to write checks and attend fundraisers on behalf of Republican candidates.


DeJoy then defrayed the cost of those political contributions by boosting employee bonuses, two employees told The Post.

For those of you wondering, yes, that's highly unusual and just one more way this Presidency is eroding all the systems that prevent us from having an untouchable, unaccountable authority figure and P.S. Trump raped E. Jean Carroll.

Apparently his defamation of her was part of his duties as president...

That DeJoy shit sounds pretty cut and dried, he sounds fucked

good one

Doesn't look like Trump is going to go to bat for him either. Probably doesn't want to risk it so close to the election when DeJoy already served his purpose anyways.

Also, it's fucking insane that the sitting president might even have the power to help someone that committed election fraud for his party.

Blah. He was here in NC yesterday.

"I've been to many states. They're not in shutdowns, and they're doing better."

This is while he was also disregarding the mask mandate. No distancing or masks at the rally in a space not designed for thousands of people.

Trump and DOJ are using my tax dollars to defend himself from a rape charge that happened before he was president? WTF? And Republicans are ok with this?

I am going to hazard a guess that many republicans have raped/molested someone to some degree at some point in their lives. And they probably want to feel vindicated in what happened. "It was only one time!" "I didn't have sex with her, I just grabbed her boob!" "She's overreacting, I didn't mean to grab her ass and she's blowing it out of proportion!" "She was drunk, what do you expect would happen?"

This isn't about Trump so much as "owning" the pc culture who they feel have gone too far. They legitimately don't think rape/molestation is that big of a deal.
