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...

Probably should be looking to see if this deep state criminal was working with, or knew of the strategies the left has been employing to steal elections, going back in time.

The swamp draining itself now?
Of course with all he has done for the democrats i’ sure he will have a nice book deal or soft landing at some corp with a no show job until he starts collecting his Gov pension if he hasn’t already.

Lois Lerner, there’s another POS that should be behind bars but is now living comfy off our tax dollars. The IRS should have a look at her taxes

It is a sign that Trump should have fired him long ago, if possible.

Maybe he was afraid they’d find him complicit in something.

But I’m not holding my breath.

The policy that Barr lifted was a stupid assed policy.

If you don’t investigate until the election is certified, then the bad guys always win.

Was he a career guy? Not a political appointee?

He worked with Lois Lerner over in the IRS in 2012.

He worked in the same job he held until today, DOJ’s Election Crimes Branch director. It's unbelievable he wasn't fired in 2016, as it was clear he obstructed congress in 2012, refused to investigate legitimate election crimes, and covered for the IRS. And his branch was responsible for sending people out to the very places where votes were manufactures last week. Instead of investigating election crime, the Election Crimes Branch was committing them. Failure to weed out people like this was Trump's undoing.

Pilger and Lois Lerner have history. Good riddance.

Amen to that! Hope another Swamp Creature doesn't replace Pilger though.

If he refuses to testify before Congress, issue him a subpoena, served by US Marshalls. If he refuses to come after that, haul his ass into the hearings, try to put him under oath, and if he refuses, hold him contempt of Congress and have him taken directly to either jail or a sitting grand jury where he can’t take the 5th without serious penalties.

Always wondered why Lerner and her crooked boss Koskinen were never held in contempt. This Pilger guy might hold the answer. Get all his records going back to the beginning of time, including his phone calls and emails if possible.

Time to take off the “kid gloves” and put on iron ones.

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich pointed out (correctly) that 96% of the political donations of DOJ employees go to Democrats.

The entire department is infested with leftists, Communists, cheats, and liars.

Sessions did nothing about it.

Whitaker did nothing about it.

Barr did nothing about it.

I hope President Trump has another ace up his sleeve, because if we are going to beat back this stolen election, we'll get no help from the "Justice" Dept.
