First time they’ve ever expressed a concern about foreign actors influencing our elections.

Clearly Barr is echoing the occupant’s complaint.

He told the New York Times that “the voters” would referee the 2020 elections and that the Department’s role would be limited.

One uniformed Black Panther within 100 yards of a polling place and Barr will be launching the ready squad of the Serious Incident Response team: 40 lawyers strong and supplied with a large box of prescription stimulants. Unofficial channels will deliver rendezvous coordinates to “citizen militias.” On-call SIR squads will escalate to hot standby.

Trump agreed and said, “Russia, if you’re listening…
