Judge Emmet Sullivan just directed USPS to look into this video during a hearing on USPS' ballot-delivery capacity. Gov't says they're aware of the video and looking into it. One party on this call said they'd heard that postal inspectors were investigating it.

Raw footage of mailroom in post office here in Miami Dade. Source revealed “mail in ballots are within these piled up in bins on the floor. Mail has been sitting for over week!.” @AmandiOnAir @PeterSchorschFL @MarcACaputo @GlennaWPLG @CNNPolitics @NewsbySmiley @realDonaldTrump

Replying to @mattshuham
(Sullivan said the court had gotten a lot of voicemails about this vid. He seemed satisfied that it was being addressed, fwiw, but asked counsel to keep him updated.)

Sullivan notes that he's a judge, and not exactly well-equipped to handle the mail complaints himself that the court is receiving. USPS, per his request, asks people to call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777) with concerns about mail.

Judges can order fines and jail time. That's well-equipped to handle this situation. Hermit-The-Prog Oct 2020 #3

Those bins of week-old mail are "after the fact" -- 3 days after his orders. Hermit-The-Prog Oct 2020 #10
IF he has a CASE before him, which he's indicating he DOESN'T have. elleng Oct 2020 #5
He can impose fines for what he can see in the video, until that mail is delivered. Hermit-The-Prog Oct 2020 #8
I hope that's correct, have to read his Order. elleng Oct 2020 #11

They tried this in 2018. They should arrest the people, and they should lose their citizenship rockfordfile Oct 2020 #9
The situation in 2018 was vastly different. Blue_true Oct 2020 #14
