DeJoy Says Mail Sorting Machines Were Stripped For Parts And Can't Be Reinstalled

[UCmeNdc]

“Dismantled machines ‘are generally dissembled for their usable parts, with such parts being removed to maintain or enhance other machines,’” DeJoy, a loyalist and major contributor to President Donald Trump’s campaign, stated in his response. “It is therefore not possible to return such machines to service.”

But witnesses reported that many of the expensive machines were quickly dismantled and tossed into dumpsters as scrap. The injunction noted that 72% of the ripped out machines were in counties Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election.

This is a complete waste of government money. The destruction of perfectly good machines. Someone must be made to pay for the loss of government property.

[Walleye]

1. Can we impeach this asshole?

[FakeNoose]

25. Or send him an invoice for all the destruction

The guy has the dough ... let him pay for it.

[Walleye]

26. Let him take new machines from his own private company and put them in the post office

[olegramps]

32. I believe that our representatives should explore the possibility of criminal charges.

The destruction of the sorting machines can not be justified from what I have read. He should be charged with intentional attempt to interfere with the election and deprive people of their right to vote.

I suspect that the Democrats will fail once again to hold the Republicans accountable. I tend to agree with Jeffery Tobin that the Republicans know they can get away with virtually anything because the Democrats are a pack of wimps who don't have the guts to fight compared to the Republicans who are dirty street brawlers. About all I have ever heard from the Democrats is my oh my isn't just awful; we will just have to write them a letter and ask them to stop kicking the crap out of us which results in them rightfully rolling on the floor laughing at the pathetic jerks.

[Walleye]

33. I agree with all that, but criminal charges determined by Boss Barr.

[SWBTATTReg]

2. Liar. Plain and good ol' fashioned lying. He needs to be held accountable, for interfering ...

knowingly with the elections.

[Horse with no Name]

3. Some of these machines were new

Why do that??(it’s rhetorical, I know)

[lunatica]

17. Yeah, what did they do with the parts?

Just put them back together.

[AleksS]

4. Zero f's given by these guys. They don't even TRY

to hide the corruption.

I do hope that Dems come down on them like a ton of bricks in January.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Those are our machines.

Send him the bill.

[aeromanKC]

6. Produce the work orders for the machines that were "fixed" from the refurbished parts.

I call bullshit on Dejoy.

[jorgevlorgan]

8. Perfect solution

Throw him in jail if or when he can't

[jorgevlorgan]

7. Is this an official statement to the court?

If so, the judge needs to order him to provide proof that the post office has used these machines or cannot reinstall them. As well as provide evidence for how dismantling them was not a violation of federal law to begin with.

[Raster]

16. Sounds like it...

..."DeJoy and the U.S.Postal Service presented the excuse in a response filed Wednesday to a nationwide order issued by U.S. District Judge Stanley Bastian in Yakima, Washington, last week demanding the return of some 700 machines that had been taken out of service."


Dear DeJoy Accomplices, Lackeys and Fellow Conspirators:

If it isn't already apparent to you, allow me to clue you in: tRump* is going to lose the election, and everyone that committed illegal acts to enable tRump*, DeJoy* and their cohorts to disrupt the USPS, will end up in court, and most likely jail. I strongly suggest you (1) hire yourself an attorney; and (2) gather all your C.Y.A. info into a secure, easily transported form, like a thumb drive. You're going to need your all of your CYA materials at your beck and call when you have to roll over on your accomplices. And you will roll over, unless you want to spend YEARS IN PRISON. Federal prosecutors tend to make things a tad bit easier on you if you have something they want.

[Walleye]

27. Good advice. In my opinion, DeJoy isn't too bright.

[crickets]

22. +1

[Midnightwalk]

9. It is sabotage

DeJoy has conflicting interests with his investments in rival shipping companies and his political alignment

When biden wins, dejoy should be charged with sabotaging the postal service for personal gain.

The judge should demand an inventory of the parts salvaged from the scrapped machines. That would quickly disprove that bs. You don’t put valuable spare parts uninventoried in some pile in a warehouse and have someone crawl over the heap when a machine on the other side of the country breaks.

[onetexan]

10. Dejail should be made to pay for all those machines which cost millions, & convicted of tampering

with an election & mail fraud.

[Midnightwalk]

18. Not a lawyer but the spare parts claim seems important

Claiming that in court and not having an inventory proves that claim to be a lie. Sabotage is the only reasonable conclusion after that.

Legal logic is different than engineering logic, but experts can explain how parts are managed. There is always an inventory.

[progressive nobody]

11. Can't this be considered Tampering with the mail? Is that an offense someone can be arrested for?

Isn't this a federal crime?

[HAB911]

12. Then he should be put behind bars until

they can be. lol

[NCjack]

13. I hope V.P. Kamala takes on DeJoy as a her special project to squeeze him

until he is flat broke.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. That mothertrucker needs to go to jail. nt

[lunatica]

15. Can he be tried for destroying federal property?

[belpejic]

19. Can some judge throw this asshole in jail?

[gristy]

20. Ok, then.

Let's see your accounting of disassembly for each machine (serial number, installation and service dates, disassembly date, etc.) and your subsequent inventory and provenance of spare parts. Asshole. No doubt we'll need a subpoena for that shit...

[Gothmog]

21. Lock him up for contempt of court

[Walleye]

29. He lied to the court

[crickets]

23. Fire him. Charge him.

Lock him up.

[bullwinkle428]

24. What a metaphor. This entire country is being stripped for parts, with the profits

going into the pockets of the Chump Crime Family.

[leftyladyfrommo]

28. 700 machines at 1.3 million. 700 million dollars of

tax payer money.

They should bill him and Trump for that .

That really pisses me off

Thise machines weren't used for parts. They were just trashed . He needs to replace them.

He is such an asshole.

[CloudWatcher]

30. TV footage

I guess all that TV footage of new gear being thrown away was just fake news. I didn't realize the Fake News had a special effects budget to create phony video of equipment being tossed.

Hmm, odd that they would leave gear in the open (subject to weather) if they're interested in harvesting parts. Yeah.

I seriously hope perjury charges are in their future.

[bucolic_frolic]

36. There must be a GOVERNMENT SURPLUS racket going on somewhere

They've stolen everything else, now they're down to the used parts business

[txwhitedove]

31. Hey, didn't employees put 2 or 3 machines back together in Washington state??

[DallasNE]

34. Why Wouldn't You

Keep the working sorters and dismantle the sorters that we’re not working.

[bucolic_frolic]

35. Machine cannibalism from one of America's chief cannibals

What did you expect?

[Warpy]

37. De Joy needs to buy new ones out of his own pocket

It's the only way vandals learn, restitution.

[NBachers]

38. Man, I'd get in trouble if I threw a fucking egg at the post office.

Throw this criminal motherfucker and all his minions in to the deepest darkest dungeon we’ve got!

[bluecollar2]

39. There's a procedure in place for disposing of federal

Government property...

Whether it's destruction, sale, relocation, or cannibalization...

There are regulations as to how that is done.

Time for the GAO auditors to do their job, and time for the House Committee responsible for oversight to start issuing subpoenas.

Accountability needs to become the democratic party mantra.

Most people are sick of the corruption and will support reviews of the process, as long as it is viewed as being non-partisan.

[JohnnyRingo]

40. Then DeJoy should be fired for gross incompetence.

I believe he ordered the machines dismantled, and I believe they only have scrap value now, but those are my tax dollars he destroyed for Trump's electoral gain. He should not be in a government building unless it's a federal pen. He should cough up restitution.

Shitcan him now.

[TicketyBoo]

41. He makes money

on every machine he replaces as new because that's what his company does.

Another big scam.

[Dr. Jack]

42. Oh I dont think that argument is going to hold up too well in court

DeJoy got into bed with Trump and boy is it going to bite him in the ass. This fucker is going to be up to his eyes in legal problems for the next decade.

[sinkingfeeling]

43. Then HE needs to buy new ones.
