    It appears that General Louis DeJoy is up to some shenanigans. Every once in awhile, a Congress Creature does something that is in the interest of the people.

    Wasserman Schultz has every right to tour a postal facility, especially since Dejoy has ignored requests from Congressional oversight.

    My guess: This election is going to be the most contested ever, and we'll get ourselves another SCOTUS appointed President this year.

    Didn't he just testify before the House Comm? How's he ignoring oversight?

    Apparently she requested a tour the evening before she wanted her 4am tour and was told lit wasn't going to be possible on such short notice

    What could they possibly have to hide from a member of congress. At 4 A.M. maybe employees sleeping on the job????

    The answer is in the article. I can't read it for you.

    Apparently, it was possible to get up police tape and get cops on the scene in time. She's toured facilities before, without issue.

    I would think that any member of the USPS Oversight Committee could pretty much show up about any damn time they want. She did give them notice. It was short notice, because employees reported shenanigans. Wouldn't a surprise visit make sense in that situation?

    So he did testify...gotcha..

    They have security guards at large postal faciliites and they also have areas that aren't just open to the public....

    She needed to give them proper time to schedule and prepare for the visit. This was obviously Debbie just trying to show boat...give her scandalous past.....I am surprised anyone takes her seriously

    Funny thing. When I was in charge of the safety program at a manufacturing firm, the OSHA guy just showed up one day. I tried to explain that we would be happy to schedule some time for a tour, but he got to take a tour that day, anyway. If he'd only given me 15 hours notice, I could have hired some cops to keep him out.


    Where, in the oversight committee's charter, does it say that surprise inspections have to be scheduled well in advance? In what world does that make sense?

    He testified. You missed the part where he failed to supply requested documents.

    You company didn't have secure areas..and is a private company not a Govt facility

    Moreover, your business has to comply with OSHA....there was no suggestion that the Postal Office isn't complying with Federal Law.

    If you are in charge of a company, and you get word from an employee that there are shenanigans happening at the company, what would be a good time to go see for yourself what's going on? I'd say mail sorting time is the perfect time to visit a post office to investigate a report of delays in mail sorting.

    Yes, there was. She was responding to reports of delayed mail. If the Congress committee in charge of the USPS doesn't qualify to enter the USPS, who does? What super secret document could a facility in Opa Locka Florida be hiding from its' own oversight committee?

    She does....she just had to give them notice she wanted a tour

    Mail being delayed isn't a crime or a rule violation...it happens...

    I didn't know they were hiding any documents....but the Oversight Committee doesn't have authority to view my ma;il or your mail...or anytone's mail. Hence why security is necessary...to keep people from tampering with our mail

    Where is it in their charter that they are required to give lengthy notices before surprise inspections?
    How do you know that there are no rule violations?
    What makes you think she intended to go in there and start ripping open sealed mail?

    Here's some fun facts; read these and see if that helps clarify it for you. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alison...ice-facilities-amid-mail-delays/#2a796ee05d4d

    Just one lil' fact: she was previously able to visit Opa-locka’s facility without issue in February, and was not told then “that I had to give any lengthy notice or that there was any rules.”

    Interfering with the mail is a crime.

    Who said it had to be lenghty?
    WHat sort of rules are alledged to be broke?
    I have no idea, but we don't let anyone just go back there for those reasons....and if she didn't give proper notice the Security Guars aren't gonna know who she is and simply be able to let her back there
    She was just there in Feb? Why didn't she give the same amount of time?

    Postal workers are legally able to handle your mail.

    And if they interfere with its delivery it's a federal crime.

    I can't believe you are defending this. The BOSS of the USPS shows up, the boss gets to go in. It's pretty easy to understand.

    She's not just "anyone." She's responsible for the post office. It's literally her job to know what they are up to.

    I'm surprised she did not want to take Brenda Snipes with her, those 2 should not come within a mile of anyones ballot.

    LOL at some of you.

    You: We can't have mail in voting! All USPS workers are corrupt! They will suppress ballots to ensure their guy wins!!

    Congress creature: Since it's my job, I'll go check to be sure everything is okay.

    You: NOOOOOOOOOOO - it's none of her business what they do in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are totally trustworthy!!!!!! What's a few pieces of missing mail? Pfft. Nothing burger.


    So, it's both? They suck and are corrupt enough to rig the election, AND they are also very fine people who have the utmost respect for your mail?

    it is not a federal crime for the post office to be backed up, or lose mail, things happen.

    They have security at postal offices to keep people from interfereing with the mail. unauthorized people are not allowed to simply walk around

    What you fail to understand is Debbie Wasserman pulls this kind of crap all the time, she showboater with zero interest in solving anything, she just wants to make waves to give her an excuse to make even more lies about caring.

    Debbie isn't the boss, She's a member of Congress.....she doesn't even work at the Postal Service She is not responsible for it...it's not even in the same branch of Govt she's in

    I am not defending it at all...she should of given enough notice so they could get her authorized to tour the facilities. Showing up at 4am, after sending an email the evening before is not something that is excusable

    Interesting. So the job of the USPS Oversight Committee isn't to know what's going on at the USPS? Please inform me. What is their job? Maybe I don't understand oversight. I thought it meant to oversee things... and be sure the rules are being followed.

    Where in the USPS Congressional oversight committee's charter does it say they are responsible for everything except what goes on at the USPS?

    I never said they didn't have the job of overisght...but that doesn't make her the boss of an independant executive branch agency.

    She just had the Post Master General under oath a couple weeks ago, and apparently set up a tour back in Feb....she knows how to do it

    Setting up these political stunts doesn't help anything.

    I do have to say that I am happy to see that proper security is there and not letting unauthorized people simply walk around at 4am
