It is a criminal act to use the USPS to influence or suppress the electoral process.
Donald Trump and the new Postmaster General are in the process of committing a crime. What they are attempting to do with the mail-in ballots is illegal.
A judge should have to rule on the matter. Congress should legislate. This is so obviously a criminal act.

1. Good, and yet in REALITY they WILL slow the mail and they WILL
prevent millions of votes being counted.
GOP does not care AT ALL about the law and this country, surely we know that by now! |

2. Look like Congress
will have their hands full. They need to impeach Barr,the Post Office criminal DHS and ect... Adam Shiff needs to do the hearings with the aids they had the last time to get to the bottom of this.

5. You cannot intentionally mess with a ballot in any way...
that can influence or impact the election.

4. Can you cite the statue or law to such?
I would be curious to know what laws are being violated so that I can pass it along to my Congressman.

10. Just because it is committed thru the Postal System would not excuse the crime?
That would not make it OK.

6. Trump doesn't care. He will try it and ignore the Courts if he has to.
People need to get it in their heads, they may have to risk getting sick to get rid of him. This is a test of how determined people are about getting rid of that monster.

8. a prosecutor would have a tough time clearly tying it to an election.
if there's a paper trail talking linking the two, obviously that would be very helpful for the prosecution.
if they started doing it right before the election, the timing might also be compelling. but with the election still months away, it's hard to prove they're linked beyond a reasonable doubt, even if outside a criminal courtroom we can feel fairly confident of their motives. |

11. Since they are doing it right now, it might be hard to prove it is to impact the next election...
...this far from election day, that is true.
But, that is their goal. |

16. Expecting criminal acts from the Trump administration
That is sort of like expecting swimming from a fish. It's all they know how to do.
