Louis DeJoy boosted his giving to Republican political campaigns as the job of U.S. Postmaster General became available, a researcher told Congress.
DeJoy, who now holds the position, gave President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee more than $600,000 over eight weeks after the opening was announced, Lisa Graves, executive director of True North Research, which investigates the influence of money on public policy, said in written testimony submitted to a panel of the House Oversight Committee in advance of a hearing Monday.
In the 2019-2020 cycle, DeJoy has given more than $1.5 million to GOP candidates and campaigns, the bulk of which has gone to aid Trump’s 2020 election strategy, Graves said. The sum includes nearly $80,000 to aid GOP Senate races since last December, when the former Postmaster General announced she would resign.
“This level of partisanship,” Graves said in written testimony, “undermines public trust in the Postal Service as an institution.”
Representative Gerry Connolly, a Virginia Democrat who is chairman of the panel, said the hearing would help fill out a portrait of DeJoy. “We have a crony at the helm of our nation’s Postal Service, a man rife with conflicts of interest and potential violations of law,” Connolly said.
Shows you how smart this bald headed idiot is he pays 600k to get a job that pays half that and he will get shit canned by Biden come January
So the Prickmaster General bought his job from our “great” leader. What else is new? I like how the Postal big time operators get away with violating 18 title code section 1703 on delaying mail. Instead of going to the joint as would happen to a low class scum worker, they get away with it. The Postal employees that support the “great” leader can always get jobs selling guns or Bibles.
