Lisa Graves, the former executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy, testified this week to Congress that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy had donated $600,000 to Republicans after his future job opened up.

Though DeJoy donated the six-figure sum, the inaccurate timeline laid out by Graves obscured the alignment with his wife’s nomination to be the next U.S. ambassador to Canada. President Donald Trump nominated Dr. Aldona Wos to the coveted role, and her confirmation is currently pending before the Senate.

“This level of partisanship,” Graves said in written testimony to the House Oversight Committee, “undermines public trust in the Postal Service as an institution.”

Chairman Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said the hearing would help paint a more complete picture of DeJoy, who has been under near-constant fire over allegations of election mail meddling. Connolly described DeJoy as a “crony” who was “rife with conflicts of interest and potential violations of law.” But those alleged conflicts of interest appear to instead be aligned with his wife’s political ambitions.

1. I don't see any reason why we can't focus on both of them...

2. Exactly

What's the deal with that? Why set the sights so low when you could have double De Joy?
