Barr: No evidence of fraud that'd change election outcome
Source: AP News
In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information theyve received, but theyve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.
To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election, Barr told the AP.
The comments are especially direct coming from Barr, who has been one of the presidents most ardent allies. Before the election, he had repeatedly raised the notion that mail-in voter fraud could be especially vulnerable to fraud during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans feared going to polls and instead chose to vote by mail.

I guess he's looking out for his post-AG life now. Banking on people forgetting he was aligned with the fascist pig.

(7,845 posts)he and the orange asshole rigged the election...screwing with the postal service, limiting ballot boxes, encouraging the faithful to intimidate voters, badmouthing absentee voting...and it backfired, spectacularly...they underestimated the early voting numbers and record absentee ballots, not to mention rampant Trump fatigue and disgust...and when Biden/Harris won Barr's "dream" of four more years quickly evaporated.. and now that The Idiot That Would Be King is weeks away from eviction, he's trying to salvage his unsalvageable reputation..forever the second most hated man on the planet...

The rest ended up getting handled by one of those contracted shredding companies that came around with the big shredder truck (the rolling trash bins with the stuff had locked tops).

(2,594 posts)It's just a matter of who sacks him first: tRump or Biden. And, of course, there's always the possibility he'll just tender his resignation to tRump, which usually happens in the interim between the arrival of a new administration.

Grokenstein
(5,722 posts)...one of the regular Useful Idiots for Trump posted an essay loaded with bursts of ALL CAPS in the comments under an editorial cartoon, claiming he was an observer in Michigan and he KNEW, he KNEW!, that Biden lost there because he saw SO MANY ballots being thrown away by LIBERALS who just LAUGHED when he protested, and and and, AND AND AND, and he saw one of the babies and the baby looked at him.
Replies asked him why he wasn't volunteering this vital info to Roo-Roo and Big Willie, instead of ranting about it under a comic strip.
The next day the post was deleted. I was very tempted to find another of the clown's posts and ask him if he deleted it because (1) everyone was laughing at him, (2) he sobered up enough to realize he was leaving himself open to potentially serious legal trouble, or (3) the all-you-can-eat Combo Platter.
Next time I see him posting a rant I'm grabbing a screencap.

(320 posts)"So, our AG says hes found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Is there such a thing as narrowspread voter fraud? Midspread? I havent seen evidence of anyspread fraud despite baseless allegations.
Im truly enjoying former federal prosecutor and current legal bonehead, Sidney Powell, citing voter fraud in a non-existent county and claiming that Georgia certified the Dominion voting system without a date, which she cleverly removed from the document before submitting it to a court.
Im so old I remember when courts frowned on such shenanigans. Good times

(121 posts)if Barr could think he could keep trump in power by co-opting his pathetic lies about a rigged election he would have. This is an exceptionally immoral unethical man. Now it's all about keeping himself out of prison and about not getting disbarred, no pun intended. Since he seems to be jumping off the idiot ship, expect him to be fired shortly.
