Richard Pilger, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Director of the Election Crimes Branch, has resigned following Attorney General William Barr's authorization earlier today for federal prosecutors to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Pilger reportedly tendered his resignation within hours of Barr's green-lighting of investigations into allegations of fraud that have yet to be substantiated, The New York Times reported.
The re-election campaign of Republican President Donald Trump and various Republican political leaders on the federal and state level have alleged that fraudulent ballots swung the contentious presidential race into the favor of Trump's opponent, Democratic President-elect Joe Biden...

Swamp creature
Bizarre
Bonus! I remember that guy now. Glad he is gone.
It’s disgraceful that this biased lawyer, who colluded with Obama IRS chief Lois Lerner to persecute Tea Party groups and who refused to testify under oath in Congress in 2014, was still in charge of the elections unit in the DOJ. Until today, when work appeared on the horizon. https://t.co/emU8hqBQM7— Harmeet K. Dhillon (@pnjaban) November 10, 2020
Sounds like he is as dirty as they come.
Plausible allegations concerning real laws being breached should be investigated—especially with sworn statements on the line.
Making up allegations that have no legal basis (Trump impeachment) is wrong.
What is the difference between alleged voter fraud and instantiated voter fraud
From PJ Media:
“...The swamp is alive and well at the Department of Justice also. There, other ideological radicals and Obama holdovers remain in positions of power, pretending that President Trump’s election never occurred.
Meet Richard Pilger. Pilger is the answer to the Jeopardy question: “Who was asleep on watch at the Justice Department for eight years of Obama and never brought a single case of voter fraud?”
Pilger is still the head of the Election Crimes Branch at the Criminal Division. Pilger is the same DOJ lawyer who was consulting with Lois Lerner as she was targeting Tea Party groups, and refused to answer questions from the House Oversight Committee.
Whenever you read a story about voter fraud during the Obama administration that wasn’t prosecuted by the Justice Department, it’s Pilger who was in charge.
Oh boy, were there chances. Chances upon chances. Even Democrat nominees for Congress like Wendy Rosen were committing federal voter fraud, but Pilger did nothing. After all, Rosen voted twice in 2012 to re-elect President Obama, so nothing to see here....”
Pilger and Lois Lerner have history. Good riddance.
Rats starting to abandon ship? Is this a sign that the shyt’s about to get real?
“I...I gotta work? Oooh. I didn’t sign up for that.”
LOL! Lois Lerner’s pal!
What did Pilger know and when did he know it...
Just an honest mistake my Pilger. He thought he was supposed to direct election crimes, not stop them.
He’s an Obama guy.
From 2014 per your link.
“CNSNews.com) – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) subpoenaed the Department of Justice today for documents after the DOJ’s Election Crimes Branch director, Richard Pilger, refused to answer critical questions 34 times, as advised by a DOJ lawyer, about the IRS-Tea Party scandal.
Lois Lerner’s partner in crime back during the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Gee, refuses to answer questions regarding Tea Party IRS scandal back in 2014. Sounds like he must be an Obama flunky. Good riddance. Who knows, this may be a blessing in disguise when the dust settles and these a-holes leave the government, and President Trump wins reelection.
Now it makes sense. Pilger’s resignation was at the request of Barr. Barr often allows people to retire rather than being fired.
Not a good look.
WTF is wrong with looking at it and investigating any crimes that may have occurred?
How do you make a case that it’s a bad idea?
