Great Find ResignationAnon

Well Anons this is a most interesting resignation, the President didn’t talk about the USPS being a joke for nothing; plus giving that fact that Pelosi was trying to “bail out”, I mean “buy off” the loyalty of postal workers. Stroman was working on vote by mail!

So what other kinds of things did Pelosi get from the PO, a network in the USPS of drugs, money, etc? I know this is Not the end of this story. This guys needs some further digs and the remaining board members. Plus remember Postmaster General Brennan, we dug in her last year, she’s mentioned also; she was supposed to be gone at the end of January, leaving June 15. This is BIG

The Postal Service, a month out from its next postmaster general taking office, will also see its second-in-command leave the agency.

Deputy Postmaster General Ronald Stroman, after nine years at the Postal Service and more than 40 years in public service, will resign from the agency on June 1

According to the USPS filing to the Postal Regulatory Commission, Stroman notified the chairman of the USPS Board of Governors of his decision last Friday.

Earlier that week, the board announced former logistics executive Louis DeJoy as its pick for postmaster general. The week before, former USPS inspector general and vice president of the board, David Williams, announced his resignation.

Following Stroman’s departure, the USPS board will no longer have enough members to reach a quorum. But if that happens, it can delegate authority to a Temporary Emergency Committee, which allows the four remaining Senate-confirmed governors and the postmaster general to engage in all of the board’s normal decision-making. “At least until there’s a successor named, or until there are more governors confirmed by the Senate, the Postal Service’s Board of Governors should be able to operate as normal,” Mike Plunkett, the president and CEO of the Association for Postal Commerce, told Federal News Network.

The board will select a new deputy postmaster general based on a majority vote from the four remaining Senate-confirmed governors and the postmaster general. “It is likely that Louis DeJoy wants his own number-two in there. In fact, he may already have someone in mind,” Steidler said in an email.

During his tenure, Stroman led government affairs and international mail issues for USPS, and worked with state and local officials to oversee the expansion of vote by mail

Prior to joining the Postal Service, Stroman served as the staff director for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. In his current job, he worked with lawmakers to develop several postal reform bills that often received bipartisan support, but never made it out of Congress.

“Ron [Stroman ] has led our communications and relationship-building with the Congress and among agencies at the federal, state, and local level, as well as efforts to educate postal stakeholders as we developed a framework for postal reform legislation,” Postmaster General Megan Brennan wrote in a memo to industry on Wednesday.

Working with the Trump administration and the State Department, Stroman negotiated profitable rates for small international packets and prevented the U.S. from leaving the Universal Postal Union last year.

Stroman also led the agency’s work in an intergovernmental strategy on electronic data for international packages, and helped law enforcement agencies detect shipments of illegal drugs.

Stroman also spearheaded strategic outreach for elections and political mail divisions as the use of vote-by-mail has increased over the past five years

With the departure of Williams and Stroman, Plunkett said the USPS Board of Governors has lost much of its institutional knowledge.

The board in June will consist of four members who have been on the job for less than two years. Meanwhile, DeJoy will be the first postmaster general in more than 20 years to lead the agency without prior experience working there. “You don’t have a lot of collective experience in postal affairs at the very top of the Postal Service,” Plunkett said. “Now, how important that is probably depends on your perspective on specific issues, but it’s certainly an unusual state of affairs.”

Brennan, the first woman to serve as the postmaster general, will step down June 15. She announced her retirement late last year, and expected to leave by end of January, but stayed on indefinitely until the board could name a successor

Devin Nunes Discusses Unmasking: “It’s Much Worse Than This” – The Entire Trump Transition Was Under Surveillance

Posted by sundance

First things first: ♦Understand Obama’s Surveillance Operation HERE. ♦Michael Flynn wasn’t under a FISA (Title-1) HERE …. that’s the background.

Devin Nunes appears with Lou Dobbs to discuss the recent list of Obama-era officials who unmasked NSA intercepts of Michael Flynn talking to foreign government officials. Rep. Nunes reminds the audience that Flynn is only one person within a much larger group of Trump transition team members who were under surveillance by Team Obama.

March 27, 2017, then House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Devin Nunes, held a brief press conference and stated he was provided intelligence reports brought to him by unnamed sources including ‘significant information’ about President-Elect Trump and his transition team.

These reports included unmaskings of President Trump campaign officials; and included Donald Trump himself…. You know what that means:

1.) …”On numerous occasions the [Obama] intelligence community incidentally collected information about U.S. citizens involved in the Trump transition.”

2.) “Details about U.S. persons associated with the incoming administration; details with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in intelligence community reporting.”

3.) “Third, I have confirmed that additional names of Trump transition members were unmasked.”

4.) “Fourth and finally, I want to be clear; none of this surveillance was related to Russia, or the investigation of Russian activities, or of the Trump team.

“The House Intelligence Committee will thoroughly investigate surveillance and its subsequent dissemination, to determine a few things here that I want to read off:”

“Who was aware of it?”

“Why it was not disclosed to congress?”

“Who requested and authorized the additional unmasking?”

“Whether anyone directed the intelligence community to focus on Trump associates?”

“And whether any laws, regulations or procedures were violated?”

“I have asked the Directors of the FBI, NSA and CIA to expeditiously comply with my March 15th letter -that you all received a couple of weeks ago- and to provide a full account of these surveillance activities.”

Senator Rand Paul Reacts to Obama Officials Unmasking and Leaking Trump Transition Team Communications

A few points on the unmasking before Rand Paul response. First, the release today is only what the Obama team did regarding unmasking General Flynn. As Devin Nunes previously outlined, there are many more Trump transition team members who were unmasked as the Obama team conducted surveillance on the incoming administration.

Second, the NSA “reports” are related to actual transcripts, emails and text messages of communication; not just various intelligence interpretations of those communications.

As Senator Rand Paul shares, the effort of the Obama and Biden administration to unmask their political opposition during the transition; and then use widespread distribution and leaks to the media to push a specific one-sided view; is the weaponization of the intelligence apparatus to target political opposition. That’s the major issue:
