They are illegal maryland congressman jamie raskin question why dejoy was even appointed to the job in the first place how did this happen. This was not a president ial appointment, so it didnt go through the office of government ethics and i think theres anyway the office of government ethics would have signed off on an agency had who has large amounts of stock in a company this contracting with the Agency Republicans on the committee defended enjoying called the hearing a waste of time were supposed to be having a postal update, not a single one of the witnesses even work for the usps georgia congressman jody hice called the hearing an attempt at political assassination this is.
