Ari Melber Says What Barr's Latest Memo Admits -- It's Over

Crooks and Liars report and commentary:
The main thing to remember is that Biden has exceptional leads in the states still outstanding. Even if the GOP could gin up a few hundred cases of voter fraud, it would not change the outcome of the election. So everyone needs to breathe and not let the chaos agent President* continue to make us all panic.

"When William Barr is focused on covering himself more than fighting for Trump, you know it's really over."

fraud if it exists. That said to me that Barr recognized just how weak the legal team's claims were and how they were filing nonsense suits just to please their blustering, blubbering sore loser boss.

It also said he won't lift a pinkie on this stuff until and unless they come up with actual evidence. It seems he knows he's got more to lose than just a job for the next 4 years.

report, plus other things, are going to be revealed for the American public to see in full force. Thugs all. Even the defense secretary who trump just fired, had to restrain trump from doing untold harm to the American population, e.g., perhaps call the military on civilians, etc, or even worse, arrest the democratic members of the Congress, fake charges, etc.

6. I'm still scared. 4 states, I think, that will do recounts, add up to 53 electoral votes 45 needs

He's still counting on the magic of bigger electronic vote counts in GA, AZ, MI and WI?



Am I missing something?

But I completely understand-- I'll probably be holding my breath right alongside you!

But every expert in the field has maintained that dumdum doesn't have a path to victory... period

I hope to God they're right!!!
