(#4665) Remove these 3 trump appointees from federal government

      What comes to mind for me are Chris Wray the director of the FBI; Jerome Powell head of the Federal Reserve; and Louis DeJoy Postmaster General of the US. These 3 were appointed by trump and to me are less than ideal candidates to be blunt. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then logic cannot be applied to these 3 because they are not in tune with democratic ideals. Let us begin with Wray. He has a tendency to not go after the wealthy and powerful when they are accused by minorities and women. He also did little to investigate the actions of January 6th 2021 republican fueled insurrection. As far as I am concerned a leader of our most powerful federal investigative service needs to be a bulldog not a person of indifference or worse. Wray needs to go!
     As for Jerome Powell the Fed Chairman, he is out of touch with the reality on the ground. His process is less than effective when he stills sees our economy through an outdated lens. For example, his attempts to bring about 3 to 5 million folks back into the workforce at the expense of more than 100 million folks seeing rising prices is absurd. He has also been lessening rules on banks. The problem with Powell is that he is not able to think out ahead of potential situations with enough clarity to be able to adjust on the fly. We need someone who has a better handle there and someone who will not allow insider trading like what Powell has allowed. He needs to go!
     As to DeJoy, the complaints are numerous. He is protected at the moment from being removed because only the Postal Service Board of Governors can remove him. If for no other reason, DeJoy needs to be out as he tried to help trump during the last election by slowing down the mail and removing sorting machines. That alone is reason to kick him out but there are many more conflicts of interest that DeJoy is involved in. As well there are campaign finance charges swirling around DeJoy and his former company, New Breed. As DeJoy continues to implement his 10 year plan to slow down delivery and raise postage costs there is no doubt that he is in need of a swift kick out of our Federal Postal Service.
