How is he still in charge?
I truly don’t know, and I can’t understand how his actions were legal.
Biden’s been on the privatization train since the 1970s. He’s perfectly happen to let DeJoy gut the service and sell the spare parts to FedEx, UPS, and Amazon.
geez I thought he was gone. what the term on these positions?
There is not a fixed term and the president cannot fire them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postmaster_General
the president cannot fire them
The DOJ could have prosecuted him under 18 U.S. Code § 208 - Acts affecting a personal financial interest, due to his refusal to divest from XPO logistics, a direct competitor to the USPS
These financial stakes in competing companies are illegal for DeJoy or his wife to own while he remains an active federal government employee. Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics, said that “the idea that you can be a Postmaster General and hold tens of millions in stocks in a postal service contractor is pretty shocking.” In August, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez suggested a subpoena of Mr. DeJoy’s personal calendars to shed more light on his potential conflicts of interest. On September second, the House Committee of Oversight and Reform announced it will serve him with one, asking for him to divulge not just his personal calendars, but all documents and communications related to recent changes in mail delivery, communications with the Trump re-election campaign, or any other political organization, documents dealing with XPO’s contracting histories with the USPS, and all his financial holdings in Amazon.
Unfortunately, neither the House leadership, the Senate leadership, nor the White House seem interested in making investigation and prosecution of this criminal misconduct a priority.
He plans on staying a long time and has to politician to get used to him.
I don’t understand the second part of your comment.
Has told politicians to get used to him…typo
Thanks!
Considering they fucked up an incredibly high capacity sorting center because no one thought to ask if the one-lane road feeding the facility could handle the traffic….
Yeah, backing off is a good idea.
