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...

And two people appointed to head up the DOJ (Sessions and Barr) do not FIRE THE BASTARD.

Usually, an investigation is how one makes that distinction.

Most significantly Barr’s letter authorizing investigations states that he had already authorized some investigations to go forward. Must have caught doofus flatfooted.

With a swamp creature like this creep Richard Pilger in charge of ballot fraud, it's no surprise the Dems had no fear whatsoever of committing ballot fraud on a gargantuan scale.
Why didn't the Trump administration get rid of this snake before the elections?

Wait. Seriously? Isn’t this the guy who was involved with the IRS and Lois Lerner in targeting conservatives and the Tea Party? Maybe that’s why he hasn’t done shit at DOJ. #deepstate

Head of DOJ election crimes unit RESIGNS in protest at Bill Barr

That seems to be the case for Fat Sessions, too. What has Barr been doing? I have exactly zero confidence that the DOJ that buried Hunter’s laptop during impeachment will lift a finger in support of POTUS and the rule of law now.

Amazing. In the last 7 days, we’ve had this guy resign, Esper fired, and another woman fired from - USAID, I think? The one in charge of nuclear capabilities? I kept wondering about Esper - was he in on the use of Scorecard & Hammer usage to flip votes??

Barr often allows people to retire rather than being fired.<<

I was thinking more like...

Barr often allows people to retire rather than go to jail....

It's how the SWAMP takes care of their own...D's and R's alike...No mater what party is in power at any given time....

Keep it in the “Family” so there are no hard feelings and the “Gravy Train” keeps on running on schedule

See post #73...,

also the mis-direct is in.....they will investigate 100s of single cases where a voter voted twice of is not a resident but wont notice 1000’s of votes that just magically appeared out of nowhere.....

The SWAMP is deep and wide and has been for along time!!!

Hmmmm.

If he thought Biden legitimately won, wouldn’t he stick around for another 2 months to remain in a “Biden Administration DOJ” ?

Soooo.... maybe he knows Biden didn’t win, and there’s no place for him in a second-term Trump Admin?

The entire government is riddled with people like this. The more of these who resign the better. If Trump is not to get a second term he still does a lot of good to run them off.

“....that have yet to be substantiated....”

That’s pretty much what an investigation is tasked to do IDIOTS!
