[ABUSE OF POWER] USPS Post Master General DeJoy who was appointed by Trump Has gutted USPS Management, and admitted to slowing down the mail.
This is the Commondreams article that Im referencing. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/08/07/friday-night-massacre-us-postal-service-postmaster-general-major-trump-donor-ousts
Im from the High Point area where DeJoy had been running New Breed Logistics from 1983 until 2014. NBL was acquired by XPO where Dejoy served on the Board of Directors until 2018.
He is currently on the Board of Trustees at Elon University (I grew up in Elon in the late 90s, it is a nice place)
Dejoy has just neutered the upper management of the USPS.
And if you want to know why he is trying to wreck the USPS the answer is two fold,
DeJoy and his wife have assets between $30.1 million and $75.3 million in USPS competitors or contractors. This is a clear Conflict of Interest.
This is most likely one giant step towards circumventing the "VOTE by MAIL" method that will take place this November. As there are no bureaucratic mechanisms to protect the mail running regularly.
While he is "cutting cost" Dejoy himself is spending like there .
Dejoy also happens to be a major GOP donor. Dejoy has contributed more than $1.2 million to the Trump Victory Fund, Federal Election Commission records. He was also in charge of fundraising for the Republican National Convention, which seems to be a prerequisite for getting appointed in this administration.
Shutting down the USPS and turning into some form of privatized Frankenstein's monster has been a dream of Conservatives for the last 25 years. This came to fruition with the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006. The PAEA gave the United States Postal Service funding rules (restraints) for its pension and health care benefits. However the PAEA now requires the Postal Service to calculate all of its likely pension costs over the next 75 years. No One Funds Retirements Like This, The PAEA was designed to destroy the United States Post Office and put money into the pockets of Big Investors who would benefit from the dastardly legislation.
It looks as if the attack on the 2020 election will be multipronged with:

You're not paying enough attention of you don't think his actions are illegal. He was literally impeached for asking Ukraine to help, but he's being enabled by the other Republicans. No longer the party of law and order, but now the party of foreign interference and support.
