‘The Heat Is On’: Legal Experts Say Postmaster General Committed ‘Stunning’ Array of Crimes, Including ‘Wire Fraud’

https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/the-heat-is-on-legal-experts-say-postmaster-general-committed-stunning-array-of-crimes-including-wire-fraud/

U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy allegedly ascended to the heights of federal government employment by way of what is known as a straw donor scheme. Legal experts say the alleged facts are evidence of a crime that should be easy to prosecute.

The allegations are tidily summed up in the headline of a Sunday afternoon story by the Washington Post: “Louis DeJoy’s rise as GOP fundraiser was powered by contributions from coworkers who were later reimbursed, former employees say.”

Pressed to account for the behavior at issue, a close parsing of DeJoy’s response through a spokeswoman shows he didn’t exactly deny the story:




The statement did say, however, that DeJoy “sought and received” legal advice to make sure he had “complied with any and all laws.”
