Barr fired the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He refused to go quietly and forced Barr to allow his deputy to take over instead of a Trump puppet. A few weeks latter, she indicts Steve Bannon. This presidential administration is a criminal enterprise.

Bill Barr Reportedly Pressed Rupert Murdoch To ‘Muzzle’ Trump Critic Judge Napolitano On Fox “News“

Napolitano called Trump’s pressure on Ukraine’s president to investigate baseless accusations against Joe Biden “criminal and impeachable.”

...because we simply can’t have him speaking the truth to Faux viewers!..

Barr’s removal of career national security official, weeks before election, raises concerns

The timing of the personnel change – coming just two months before the U.S. presidential election, and in the midst of a battle against domestic terrorism and foreign interference in the election – has worried current and former members of the national security community.

This election is already in doubt.

No way should any Trump "win" be viewed as being free and fair!

Get the lawyers out now and be ready to hit the ground running.......

Democrats are trying very hard to give Trump another 4 years.

1) Selected a presidential candidate with low energy and drive.

2) The candidate then handicapped his selection of a VP with ethnic/gender requirements.

3) The democrats then looked lame on the issues of looting and stimulus check.
Trump now seems to have momentum.

Lawyers won't do the trick, any more than they did for Al Gore. We personally will have to hit the ground I think. It's going to take something like the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, I think.

Have to start with the lawyers.

Agree on a plan for a ground game too!

Billy Barr’s false claims about voting by mail

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...oting-by-mail/

Quote:
“Elections that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud and coercion. For example, we indicted someone in Texas — 1,700 ballots collected from people who could vote, he made them out and voted for the person he wanted to.”

— Attorney General William P. Barr, in an interview on “The Situation Room” on CNN, Sept. 2, 2020

Both statements are false. No one was indicted on a charge of casting 1,700 fraudulent ballots, and voter fraud is so rare in the United States, researchers describe it as a statistical blip whether the ballots are cast in-person or by mail.

This is, putting it mildly, an insane position for DOJ. They are doing everything they can to appear to be Trump’s personal law firm. Its the opposite of the way the Department of Justice is supposed to behave.

DOJ gives legal representation to fed’l employees sued for actions w/in the scope of their employment. So, we’re now footing the bill for Trump’s defense, based on the ludicrous claim he was acting as POTUS when he called ⁦⁦@ejeancarroll⁩ a liar.
