Where does Trump find this collection of bigots and cheaters?
By reimbursing his employees for campaign contributions, DeJoy broke federal and state laws, including:

"No person shall make a contribution in the name of another person" (52 U.S.C. 30122)
People have gone to jail for this https://t.co/Hq0UsLnjFe
During his testimony, DeJoy was asked by Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) if he had repaid executives for making donations to the Trump campaign.⁰“That’s an outrageous claim, sir, and I resent it. . . . The answer is no,” DeJoy responded angrily. https://t.co/DJAQJklZRB

Prosecutors routinely send people to prison for the criminal conduct described below. If article is accurate, @USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJoy must resign. @RepJeffries & I previously requested @FBI to investigate DeJoy. We fully expect FBI will do so now.#SundayThoughts https://t.co/m33vQ6Y29U

What is alleged here — "straw" donations — is not a minor violation. Many people have faced prison for this. Get ready for a thread. https://t.co/eUU7G0bYfG

My statement on today's @washingtonpost story "Louis DeJoy’s rise as GOP fundraiser was powered by contributions from co. workers who were later reimbursed, former employees say":

It is against the law to directly or indirectly reimburse someone for a political contribution.1/2
Reminder from 20 years ago: a Gore fundraiser was convicted of 5 felonies for doing exactly this https://t.co/64M1Wyr3k6

1/ It is a violation of campaign finance law to circumvent campaign finance limits by getting other people to donate to a candidate and then reimbursing them for their donations. https://t.co/H0S86PwdrH
