the independent Board of Governors, including its process of selecting a new Postmaster General.

Williams, also a former postal IG, described as a longtime govt. watchdog who knew the org. better than anyone & who could help explain what was going on ... 2/
w the board & the administration at the time DeJoy, a major Trump donor, was appointed.

Stephen Crawford, a former USPS Board member under Obama, said at the time it happened, Williams’s departure was a bad development.

“When David Williams resigned, I knew we were in serious
trouble. Williams … knew postal service in and out,” he said.

Williams declined comment when contacted by NBC News.

The briefing was being organized Monday night in coordination with House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Why @KamalaHarris is @JoeBiden pick for VP:

No other contender (except Warren) matches Harris’s pol/gov experience

1. Elected 3x statewide in the largest state; refers to herself as a "progressive prosecutor” and highly knowledgeable about all that needs to be
2. Been through pres campaign wringer; built a national profile
3. Sits on important committees: Homeland Sec., Judiciary, Intelligence
4. Notable performances grilling Bill Barr; Brett Kavanaugh (would certainly hold her own w Pence)
5. She's been an aggressive campaigner; fundraiser
6. Demographic balance w older white man. 2nd Black woman to serve in the Senate.
(She’s a 55-year-old daughter of immigrants: Jamaica/India; would be a historic selection.)

👉House Democrats find Trump overspent for ventilators by as much as $500 million

1. They paid 4-5 times as much as the Obama admin did for functionally identical machines

2. Didn't enforce prior contract or try to build on it.

3. Were asked in Jan. by Philips if they needed more vents. A new contract wasn't cut until April, well after peaks in NY/MI and after govs there were warning of shortages
4. Deal was negotiated by Peter Navarro, formalized by a former Kushner roommate. Maj. of the correspondence was between Philips and a recent college grad assisting Navarro.

5. Oversight Democrats call this "fleecing" and say the $$ should be clawed back.
