If President Biden appointed me a US Attorney (I know, God forbid),

[TomSlick]

I would give serious consideration to asking a grand jury to indict by then former Post Master General DeJoy under 18 U.S.C. 1703:

"Whoever, being a Postal Service officer or employee, unlawfully secretes ... detains, (or) delays ... any ... mail entrusted to him ... which was intended to be conveyed by mail ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years or both." (Emphasis added.)

18 U.S.C 1701 appears to reduce the potential prison sentence to six months but I could live with that.

This would be in addition to any penalty imposed by Judge Sullivan for criminal contempt by defying his order.

There might be an argument that as Post Master General all the delayed ballots were not "entrusted to him" but I'd make some federal judge dismiss the indictment.

1. AND he should personally pay to replace the sorting machines he had destroyed

You're absolutely correct, DeJoy has committed numerous crimes against the Postal Service and most certainly should be held accountable.

2. I see no reason that DeJoy could not be ordered to pay for the destroyed USPS equipment

as restitution.

6. I hope he ends up in prison

and that he is financially ruined
