Postmaster General's fundraising that secured him job likely fraud - BmorePat87 - 09-07-2020
The Washington Post dropped a story yesterday detailing how, when now Postmaster General Louis DeJoy ran his old company, he gave reimbursements in the form of bigger bonuses to employees that donated to GOP causes.

This would constitute fraud in a variety of forms, and is absolutely illegal. It is unknown if the Trump DOJ would actually pursue charges on this. DeJoy's spokesman released a statement that did not deny the allegations, instead insisting that he sought legal advice prior to any of his encouragement to his employees to ensure it was lawful.
