    And are you also trying to claim DWS is a staff member, talk about trying to divert from what you where caught doing. .

    The poodle isn't the boss of the USPS. Its an executive agency, and Congress has no special privileges whatsoever over executive branch operations. If she wants a tour, she needs to schedule one. She may have been granted easier access before liberals went full on ****** over the USPS, but that's a problem of their own making, they have no excuse to whine about it now...

    Why would you want to act like you’ve never heard of a comparison between two similar things?

    Secure or not, someone other than the USPS has oversight over its facilities. I still really doubt that no one outside the USPS has the authority to inspect its facilities. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the USPS just say she has no authority instead of blaming it on too short a notice? I just don’t know who that is. I am trying to find info online verifying that the House Committee on Oversight & Reform doesn’t have such authority over the postal service, but it’s not as clearly spelled out as one might imagine.

    Besides all this anyway, I think the real frustration here is the lack of transparency for what ought to be a mundane request. I mean, if I push all politics aside, I’d still support her having the right to inspect the facility because transparency is more important to me than bureaucratic restrictions, and I’m also of the opinion that someone who sits on the Oversight Committee ought to have authority to inspect USPS’ secure facilities.

    I think she is an individual member of the committee.

    I'm not sure why you are being so hostile towards me. I think DeJoy is up to shenanigans. If DWS was able to tour the facility without any notice in February, than it is easy to understand why she felt like DeJoy would extend the same courtesy.

    I believe he has something to hide. Removing boxes and shutting down time saving equipment, two months before an election, smells funny. Now we're hearing stories from inside that mail is sitting around for several weeks? Why is that? It it to lower expectations?

    Like I've said, OSHA doesn't call and ask a manufacturer when it would be convenient for a team to come inspect for the very serious safety violations that were reported.

    I’m still amazed DWS still is allowed to be a govt official after the **** she’s pulled.

    The same could be said for at least 500 elected people in DC. Nothing will change until the people demand it.

    They are in no way similar, Federal secured facility and a private or traded company are worlds apart in regards to security..

    Just a simple miscommunication. They took one look at her face and thought she was an overgrown sewer rat. If she gets the proper shots they will let her in.

    It's predominately a process and protocol issue. If a congressional oversight committee wants to explore some aspect of an executive agency they send a request of what they want to explore and explain why. Then a few days or weeks later the agency responds and an arrangement is planned. Nobody other than someone in the direct line of command withing the USPS (or any other entity) can just barge in and demand to look around.

    OSHA has a legalized right to conduct inspections, but only announced and arranged inspections unless there is reasonable suspicion of rule breaking with possible imminent danger.

    Very true....it's encouraged they go do visit...that quote doesn't give them authority to simply come and go as they please. She didn't give proper notice....the facility had no idea she was coming. This was a political stunt by a corrupt Dem Congresswoman....sorry your thread has gone down in flames

    Where in the document does it explain what the proper notice is? Is it 24 hours? Three weeks? Six months? How much time does the PO need to hide whatever needs to be hidden from oversight?

    This thread isn't down in flames. If asked before all of this I would have said any member of the oversight committee should be able to show up for a visit. It makes sense.

    Also, I'm no fan of DWS. I think she's scum. I think the entire Congress is filled with self-serving & corrupt *******s. Here's the thing - A person's political party is not something I factor in when making up my mind about something. Right is right; wrong is wrong.

    In many years working in DC at the Department level for several Departments in Washington DC and being involved with agency audits, I can tell you that I am unaware of a Congressman ever showing up at a Government facility and demanding to conduct what you called a surprise audit. Do you understand that Congress has a Legislative Branch agency called GAO that conducts their audits? Do you understand why the USPS cannot allow people to, at a whim for a political stunt, to wander around on a workroom floor? Do you understand that as I pointed out twice, the USPS has a system called ODIS that tracks mail deliver and volume and that these reports will answer questions about any mail slow down with actual data?

    It's not rocket science. The committee member calls, writes, or emails USPS asking for an inspection visit at such and such facility, and explaining the reason. If the inspection is wanted soon the member puts that in the request. Then the USPS responds with whatever.

    What do you think a USPS sorting facility would or could hide away in preparation for the visit in an hour, day, week or month's time????

    Look at you, trying to put me in a cute lil' box.

    What do you think I meant when I said: "Also, I'm no fan of DWS. I think she's scum. I think the entire Congress is filled with self-serving & corrupt *******s. Here's the thing - A person's political party is not something I factor in when making up my mind about something. Right is right; wrong is wrong."

    Because it fits the leftest pre-programmed narrative, these folks will fall for anything that can be used against Trump no matter how weak or dumb the ideas are.

    We didn't have mail in voting back then.

    How many PO boxes were removed during Obama's years? Were they moved two months before an election where a huge percentage of votes were going to be by mail? Was there a nationwide discussion on the validity of voting by mail?

    LOL. You never seem to feel I'm a lefty pushing a narrative when I'm bitching about the uber left and their stupid narrative. Why is that?
