About delaying the mail

[Andy823]

I found this:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1703

18 U.S. Code § 1703. Delay or destruction of mail or newspapers
U.S. Code

(a) Whoever, being a Postal Service officer or employee, unlawfully secretes, destroys, detains, delays, or opens any letter, postal card, package, bag, or mail entrusted to him or which shall come into his possession, and which was intended to be conveyed by mail, or carried or delivered by any carrier or other employee of the Postal Service, or forwarded through or delivered from any post office or station thereof established by authority of the Postmaster General or the Postal Service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

(b) Whoever, being a Postal Service officer or employee, improperly detains, delays, or destroys any newspaper, or permits any other person to detain, delay, or destroy the same, or opens, or permits any other person to open, any mail or package of newspapers not directed to the office where he is employed; or

1. In these times (Barr), laws are for other people.

I defer to the last line from Animal Farm.

2. Yes, exactly. There's another code too that also encompasses what is happening.

Did you know the USPS has its own Inspector General? I've been wondering if that individual should be contacted, or could be of any help?

USPS OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) audits the operations and evaluates the specific infrastructure of the Postal Service. The OIG also has the responsibility of protecting and maintaining the integrity of postal processes and personnel. To contact the OIG, please call 1-888-877-7644, email [e-mail], visit USPS OIG Contact Form, or mail 1735 N Lynn Street, Arlington, VA 22209-2020.

I don't know anything about the process of contacting an Inspector General. It just seems like we have heard nothing about this, and that it could be of use.

3. The new IG is acting for Trump

[Andy823]

4. Exactly!

Nothing happens unless trump OK's it.

[Andy823]

5. I read that there was a Inspector General for the USPS

But it seems like any Inspector General that starts investigation trump or his cronies, ends up "retiring"! Of course we all know that means he was fired by trump!

I hope someone will do something, but I won't hold my breath.

6. Too many votes in the mail?

[Andy823]

8. It's all about

trump covering all the bases. Bash vote by mail, get he goon in charge of the post office to "slow" it down, and hope Democrats don't vote in person because of the virus.

I hope this backfires big time for him!
