Holder holdover...........No surprise......was probably in on the fix as well................. https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/issa-subpoenas-doj-after-election-crimes-director-refuses-answer
Guess he took the position thinking it was only ceremonial.
So he loved having the job title, but hated DOING the job.
Donald Trump Jr.

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
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??
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.
He knows that Trump has the goods on the Dems.
He bailed.
“....that have yet to be substantiated....”
That’s pretty much what an investigation is tasked to do IDIOTS!
Holder holdover...........No surprise......was probably in on the fix as well.................From Wikipedia:
Richard Pilger is an American lawyer and the former director of the Election Crimes Branch at the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice.
He resigned on November 9, 2020, after United states attorney general William Barr gave an authorization for federal prosecutors to investigate specific allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election,[1] going against decades-old guidance to wait until elections were finalized to overtly investigate allegations.[2]
Barr’s authorization prompted Pilger’s resignation letter which described “an important new policy abrogating the forty-year-old Non-Interference Policy for ballot fraud investigations in the period prior to elections becoming certified and uncontested.”
He continued, “Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications... I must regretfully resign from my role as Director of the Election Crimes Branch.”[2]
He will continue at the Department of Justice as a line prosecutor in the Public Integrity section prosecuting corruption cases.[2]
IRS targeting controversy
Pilger had previously been involved in the IRS targeting controversy, after being linked to Lois Lerner[3]. In 2013, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revealed that it had selected Republican political groups applying for tax-exempt status for intensive scrutiny based on their names or political themes. Pilger in his capacity as the head of the Election Crimes Branch met with Exempt Organizations Unit director Lois Lerner in October 2010 to discuss the problems of conservative groups’ spending in the upcoming 2010 midterm election.[4][5]
So he jumped to DC and finally found his niche exactly 20 years ago in 2010, having been recruited as a henchman enforcer by Lois Lerner.
In 2013, Pilger and Lerner were again colluding about targeting tax-exempt groups. In an email from Lerner to Nikole Flax, former chief of staff to IRS commissioner Steven Miller, Lerner wrote:
“I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ. I know him from contacts from my days there.After Pilger, at the recommendation of a DOJ lawyer, refused to answer questions 34 times, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) subpoenaed the Department of Justice.He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folks could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who "lied" on their 1024s --saying they weren't planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures.
DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs. I told him that sounded like we might need several folks from IRS.”
Now he's bailing to preserve his pension, literally taking a demotion, given he would have been charged with paralleling the new DOJ invests in PA.
Too bad Barr didn’t order this investigation pre-election. This bum who resigned should have been eased out when POTUS took the helm
One of the guys behind Obama’s IRS blocking conservatives’ 501(c)(4) organizations.
scurrying like rats and revealing themselves as swamp plants.
Getting to be firing squad time.
