Tell Biden: Replace Donald “Lee” Moak on the USPS Board of Governors Now
This is not a drill! The Biden administration may be about to reappoint
Trump-appointee Donald “Lee” Moak to another one-year term on the USPS
Board of Governors and President Biden could announce it any day.
It’s up to us to stop this.
There are many reasons Lee Moak is unfit to serve, but perhaps the most
important is that he has done almost nothing to rein in Postmaster
General Louis DeJoy’s failed leadership.
In fact, Moak has been a rubber stamp for DeJoy.[1] He’s failed to push
DeJoy to expand services and products. He’s done little to stop mail
slowdowns, post office closures, and price hikes. And perhaps most
importantly, Moak definitely won’t vote to fire Louis DeJoy.
It might be why Trump nominated Lee Moak in the first place. After all,
Moak’s connection to Trump also includes his connection to Trump lawyer
Stefan Passantino.[2]
When Passantino served as Deputy White House Counsel on ethics, he made
a name for himself by defending Kellyanne Conway’s promotion of Ivanka
Trump’s clothing line on national T.V. from the White House briefing
room. The Office of Inspector General and just about everyone else
condemned it as a breach of ethics.[3]
Passantino also personally pitched the fake Hunter Biden laptop story to
the Wall Street Journal and other media outlets[4] before the election,
and was a leader of the “Lawyers for Trump” coalition that formed to
challenge the 2020 election results.[5]
Since Moak’s appointment to the USPS Board, we’ve learned that the
consulting firm Moak founded and where he still holds the position of
CEO, hired Passantino for “legal services” -- though what those legal
services entailed has never been disclosed.[6]
The bottom line is that even Moak knows he’s not qualified for this
role. Here he is in his own words:[7]
“....I am not a postal expert and I am still only at the beginning
stages of understanding the Postal Service’s current challenges…”
Lee Moak must not be reappointed to serve. The Biden administration
should nominate a progressive who understands that the path forward for
the USPS requires firing Postmaster General DeJoy, expanding service and
products, and stopping service delays and excessive price hikes.
