When I share articles from the Washington Post, NY Times, and certain other news sources to which I subscribe, I sometimes post the entire article because they are paywalled. I do this knowing some people can’t or won’t pay for subscriptions and I think they should be informed. It’s like I took my copy of the paper and cut out that article for everyone to pass around
Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/louis-dejoy-campaign-contributions/2020/09/06/1187bc2c-e3fe-11ea-8181-606e603bb1c4_story.html
TL;DR: Post Master General DeJoy engaged in some very, very shady looking practices on the road to becoming a trump crony. He denies slowing down the postal service in order to interfere with the 2020 election. WaPo provides a lot of info from many different sources to piece together a portrait of an alleged sleaze ball crook
Vote early (and only once)! If you must do an absentee ballot, try to skip the post office and drop it in your local ballot box. You can also send it via an express mail delivery service. If you vote in person, go early to your polling place, bring a folding chair and snacks, wear a mask of course, and assume you need to take the day off work because there may be very long lines.
You can register to vote within your state by contacting its board of elections. I’m told that some states make it hard to register to vote. If you go to vote.gov it will direct you to your state’s register to vote page. I know people who successfully used iwillvote.com to get to the right site and/or forms to download to register. (If asked for your email address you can use a burner email address to avoid any spam risk).
If you have already registered to vote, please double check with your state board of elections, vote.gov, or iwillvote.com to make sure that you have not been purged from voter rolls, as some states have been removing legally registered voters without informing them.

MV edit: we all know the corruption is out of hand. We all see the election tampering, the cronyism, the numerous crimes committed by this administration. We need to vote out everyone who is enabling this administration! Remember that as you cast your ballot! Vote blue.

Lock them up or burn them. If not one, then the other.

Fucking hell. Burn it all to the ground
Dinos91
Lock him up

You’re doing great work, thank you.

If he gets convicted of state felonies by NC, the president can't pardon him. So get off your ass and get to it NC!

The Trump crime family roots run deep have turned a swamp into an open sewer. The Trump regime is incredibly corrupt and very open about it
Hammertulski
I was at “oh that fucking snake” territory by the second screenshot and it kept getting worse. Fuck everything attached to Trump, seriously.

Is there any surprise to this at all? Basically an organized crime syndicate squatting in the ruins of a political party.
tflorio19500
I was just thinking the very same thing! What better place to hide than a political party.
ElroydIsGone
The party of law and order draining the swamp, I presume?

Well that’s just criminal. It’s a long life and this isn’t going away. Let’s take it slow to watch him throw people under the bus.

A Republican will happily do a million dollars of damage to you if it puts a thousand dollars in their pocket.
RocknRootRanchcuzallwegotisrocksandrootsandafewtrees
Talk about having "little man" syndrome! See what a shortie he is compared to those other guys?!
FractalChainsaw
#8 Oh he's so tiny! Maybe we should just shove him into a mail drop box for a while.
TheVermonster
Why the fuck is there only a 5 year statute of limitation of campaign finance fraud?
TheS4ndm4n
Because the people that commit campaign finance fraud, also made that law. You won't get convicted, as long as you don't lose the election.
aneyeholeman
Raise your hand if you're surprised.... Oh... No one? Wow, nothing like this ever happens so I'm amazed no one is surprised.
shinagami091
I wonder when the FBI will be going after this guy.
NKato
As soon as the election is over, and as soon as Trump loses.
woodenrobot
At some stage America, you're going to have to do something about all this corruption.
SisterMidnight
Yup

He looks like a toddler who's just shit his pants and is waiting for his mom to stop talking to her friend so her can tell her.
Thelrishlnquistion
Isn’t congress subpoenaing him now?
SisterMidnight
He testified, it’s discussed in the article. “I’m a good boy, how dare you think I’m not”
TheS4ndm4n
He's a good lapdog

If the GOP loses the election, they're going to be buried in indictments. If they win, this will be the new normal.
ZtZebaztian
If they lose, no they won't. That's been a rallying cry in politics since 1800, and it never happens. The only exception being Garfield iirc
AngryGraphicDesigner
When you think of regulations, you should consider it's most often to make sure this kind of awful behavior doesn't happen.

Quickest way to get DeJoy out of the USPS: Indict and arrest.
WoodORama
We have less than two months until the election. Not time for indictments. Get out and get people registered and vote in-person.

Thank you, sir or ma'am.

You’re welcome, sir or ma’am.

Fun Fact: There are no consequences for this. Dinesh D'Souza was convicted for a similar scheme. Trump pardoned him.
ProfChaos23
Dinesh still served time in prison.
SisterMidnight
Can’t pardon state felons & there’s no statute of limitations for state felonies.
AvielMenter
Most (all?) of these look like contributions to federal campaigns, which would be a violation of federal law.
georgejimmydoodle
That's money laundering isn't it?
g0st
Not it no one prosecutes him.
AvielMenter
No, it's not. Making a contribution in another's name is its own crime. 51 U.S.C. § 30122.
casbott
Oh the latest, State authorities in Wisconsin are looking at prosecuting him, so no Fed Barr to protect. And can happen before election.
Hammertulski
I hope they’re working late nights to get that off the ground, doing the people’s work right there.
SisterMidnight
Yes, yes it is.

Wait that's Trumps job
SisterMidnight
Guess he has an alleged protégé.
EccentricNimoy
He's got that scumbag look to him
SisterMidnight
He really does.
Boksha
He does, but that's neither illegal nor immoral, unlike his actions.
