Steve Bannon in July 2019:
"On

@SalHernandez
[who said] 'everybody associated with this project is going to prison'? (laughing)"

Two other people make cameos as well.

Some background on Louis DeJoy and his financial dealings/donations w/the GOP

The definitive timeline of Louis DeJoy, the North Carolina man Trump put in charge of the post office after he and his wife gave Republicans millions
https://www.businessinsider.com/louis-dejoy-timeline-trump-postal-service-usps-donations-republican-fundraiser-2008-8

* About $1.6 million in donations — about half of what the power couple have given in their lifetime — have come since Trump became president. Over that time, their own political fortunes have risen considerably.

* During the 2016 election, DeJoy and Wos together gave the Republican National Committee more than $250,000. They spent a total of $550,000 on federal elections during the 2016 cycle.

* Trump and Pence have been at the same event as DeJoy at least 10 times since 2016, including private fundraisers and giant public rallies. Since their election, Trump and Pence have each separately visited North Carolina specifically to attend high-dollar fundraisers at DeJoy and Wos' Greensboro mansion.

* Over the years, the couple has raised big money for George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Trump. They also backed other presidential candidates including Jeb Bush early on in the 2016 race and Rudy Giuliani in 2008.

*** DeJoy Testimony feedback thread *** .... Hearing now adjourned

maybe it's time for a catch-all

Sen Lankford up, kissing DeJoy's ass big-time. Dismissing removal of blue collection boxes

Saying removed sorting/processing equipment were out-dated (uhh...pictures I saw of them dismantled in a parking lot they looked brand new!)

Sen Rob Portman is kissing DeJoy's ass BIG TIME

Saying approval of removal of sorting equipment was before DeJoy got there
