Sixteen federal prosecutors tasked with monitoring the 2020 elections told Attorney General Bill Barr that his policy allowing them to look into “vote tabulation irregularities” before results are certified was blatantly political and not based in facts.
Am I reading this correctly? DOJ attorneys are openly telling Barr he’s wrong about this? That’s really big! It appears as though Barr’s own people are telling him to fuck off in public. Again, am I reading this correcctly?
I came to ask the same thing. This is kind of huge. They’re publicly telling the boss to go fuck himself and his bullshit partisan investigation. The fun part is that they know he can’t do shit but possibly fire them and some of them were probably gonna get shit canned in January anyway. This is great!
Like Richard Pilger the other day when he spoke of “ramifications,” these sixteen prosecutors read the memo a lot more closely than Ms. Kupec dares to admit.
I should add that Ms. Kupec came to DOJ from her job at the so-called “Alliance Defending Freedom,” a dishonestly-named hate group watched by the Southern Poverty Law Center. In that job she:
• supported the recriminalization of sexual acts between consenting LGBTQ adults;
• defended state-sanctioned sterilization of trans-gender people;
• contended that LGBTQ adults are more likely to engage in pedophilia;
• advocated so-called “conversion therapy”; and (of course)
• claimed that a “homosexual agenda” will destroy Christianity and society.
But, but… Biden won by the same electoral margin as Trump in 2016, making his win a massive landslide victory, per the lame duck loser formerly known as President Loser.
Sure looks that way. Seems Barr has reached the end of his power play. Everyone knows he is out on Jan 20 with his boss and may spend the next few years in court himself. I love this.
“Perhaps they did not read the memo,” a DOJ spokesperson, Kerri Kupec, told the Post, referring to the letter’s signatories. She pointed to a section of Barr’s memo that specified, “Nothing here should be taken as any indication that the Department has concluded that voting irregularities have impacted the outcome of any election.”
Perhaps Ms Kupec doesn’t recognize a disingenuous statement when she sees one. Or, more likely, she’s just being disingenuous.
