We know Trump is trying to destroy @USPS by having DeJoy remove sorting machines, cut back hours and increase the cost of stamps for mail in ballots. We also know DeJoy can be removed by the USPS BOG. But how did we GET here? You may not like the answer....
@USPS BOG is supposed to have 9 members, but they operated w/ an emergency committee & without a quorum for YEARS because several Obama appointees to the committee were blocked. Who were they blocked by? Senator Bernie Sanders thehill.com/blogs/congress…
Sanders was concerned that the @USPS BOG would continue to slash services & hurt employees so he was widely reported as blocking Obama's nominees. So much so that by Dec 2016, there was only ONE BOG member left. Trump has filled the positions in subsequent years
It was well meaning policy on the Sander's part, the problem is 4 years later it's given Trump almost total control of the only oversight that could stop DeJoy from rigging the fall elections. The Inspector General for the USPS can't remove him, and the BOG is loyal to Trump
