faced because of his and his family’s investments in a number of companies closely tied to the U.S. Postal Service.
A federal employee cannot hold stocks that have an aggregate market value of more than $15,000 in any company without recusing or divesting themselves from it, according to federal code. The documents state that DeJoy and his family’s investments in those 13 companies all exceeded that amount, but they do not provide a definitive value.
“Everybody knows that he has these interests,” he said. “And so even then there are going to be potentially incentives, even if he’s not in the room, for others to make decisions that could benefit him.” Recusal and divestiture are commonplace for federal employees to resolve a potential conflict of interest. Recusal, according to the federal code, bars officials from acting on contracts, claims, drafting regulations or making determinations that could affect their financial interests, and it also prohibits them from “direct and active supervision” of a subordinate in matters concerning their holdings.
“When and how he divested reflects the process he was instructed to follow by the Postal Service ethics office in compliance with federal ethics regulations,” Postal Service spokesman David Partenheimer said in a statement. “Additionally, the Postmaster General’s divestiture was fully approved by the Office of Government Ethics.”
They should do their jobs

I was impressed by the professionalism of Mr Dereck0111 From the moment of my first free consultation,to the moment I got my profit,he's trustworthy,reliable and understanding... Dereck0111
Get rid of DeJoy! Mail has been late, interrupted, and no delivery or pick up at our home and Business! Who the HELL is gonna put on their big panties and fire him!!!!
So who is in charge of the Office of Ethics & the oversight of said office? Sounds like that's where the problem lies, but this relatively long article doesn't provide any of those details or future procedural info. Why?
Why is he still there?
Eclectablog How very surprising. Kleptocrats!
Biden fires Board Biden appoints new Board New Board fires Dejoy Ta Da
We've known about at least 1 conflict - his ownership of a shipping company that competes with USPS.... isn't that enough to fire him?
So surprising 🙄
txchristabelle Can he not be fired because of those conflicts?
Why is this man unremovable?
Why hasn't he been canned!
Absolutely shocking...to no one.
Expel DeJoy!!
So how come that he can't be fired? Laid off? Sent to the pasture? Parked by the curb? Looks like the only way to save post office would be to whack him...
I am so surprised 😂😂
DeJoy NEEDS to be REMOVED IMMEDIATELY and investigated for the slowdown of usps services - it started when donald trump was in the highest position and a investigatigation needs to be done to see if there were CRIMINAL activities involved..
Anyone surprised? He was appointed by someone who has no concept of what a conflict of interest is.
Fire his ass already
Go POSTAL...and CAN the man....
FireDeJoy
No shit. What's being done about it though?
Trump knew this when he put him in place to slow down and destroy the USPS. He needs to be fired NOW! FireDeJoy
This guy has not delivered. Time to return him to sender.
Why is he still there!? Ugh
Why is he still there?
PattyArquette Look ay his eyes This is how corruption looks
And what will be done about it? NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Just like the rest of the inhabitants of the crooked pyramid scheme that is Insider Politics…
PattyArquette When I grow up I want to be the Postmaster General. The only job I know where one can’t get fired even if you are tearing the business apart.
yvonne_erdmann And yet nothing happens to these people, and they still live the high life with our money!
Okay. So now can he be fired !
He is entitled. Nothing will happen to him.
Hard to believe coming from such a honest looking individual.
Dejoy has made enough millions already destroying the USPS. Get rid of him.
FireDeJoy
DeJoy should lose all federal contracts awarded himself, & be prosecuted for delaying mail, destroying USPS equipment, removing mailboxes for voter ballots, etc. Americans depend on USPS. It must be a functional institution, not a money-maker for DeJoy Dec 9 can’t come soon enuf
