Federal prosecutors express concern over Attorney General William Barr's election fraud memo: Sources

Sixteen assistant U.S. attorneys countered the attorney general's latest move.

Sixteen federal prosecutors tapped by leadership at the Justice Department to monitor voting in last week's presidential election have sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr making clear that they have seen no evidence to substantiate claims that voting tallies have been marred by widespread fraud or other ballot issues, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

In their letter, the federal prosecutors -- career assistant U.S. attorneys from more than a dozen states across the country -- called for Barr to rescind a memorandum he sent earlier this week telling Justice Department attorneys to launch election-related investigations if they suspect significant irregularities, the sources said.

Justice Department policy has long urged federal law enforcement officials to refrain from engaging in politically charged investigative activity in the run-up to an election, and the new "policy change was not based in fact," the federal prosecutors wrote to Barr in their letter, first reported by The Washington Post.

"We disagree with [your] argument that the impact of taking overt investigative and prosecutorial actions on the outcome of an election is greatly minimized after voting ends but before certification occurs," the letter to Barr said, adding that Barr's memorandum "thrusts career prosecutors into partisan politics."

The letter was signed by assistant U.S. attorneys in Arkansas, California, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

David Brooks on Trump loss and unwillingness to concede:

(quote)
Dictators around the world are happy to see an American president denying election results. That give them encouragement and gives them a set of norms they can hew to.

I expect him to go. You can feel the air coming out of the balloon, the stages of grief. What is it, denial, then rage, and then acceptance, though with Trump there's more rage and more denial. But you feel the Republicans walking away, rightly or wrongly, just not wanting to get in front of the train and push him out. That's the wrong metaphor, but you feel him losing momentum, and I do think he will eventually whimper out, probably without ever admitting defeat, and probably without attending Joe Biden's inauguration. But that is the way the man is.

President Trump taps Rudy Giuliani to take over election legal fight:

Giuliani took on the Mafia, he cleaned up NYC, showed strong decisive leadership after 9/11, and told Saudi Arabia to shove 1o million up their ass.

Giuliani is a hero, Pedo Joe is a zero.

The prosecutors have done that by themselves. The protest only reinforces the likely possibility of massive fraud.

David Brooks is a partisan hack that works for the credibility free Atlantic. They have tried to figure out Trump and have been wrong every time. The hate they spawned has cut this country deeply. Trump does not even come close to the damage the media has done.

When they look at the unilateral decisions to invade and destroy nations on fabricated "evidence" and then try to blame their own intel for their "mistakes" and walk away without making any attempt to atone for, or correct their fucked-up decisions, the rest of the planet is now wondering if we're heading back to those bad old days of Clinton and Obama, with Biden pretending to be at the helm.

It's been a very quiet four years, under president Trump, when it comes to ISIS and unilateral invasions.

America lost. The Democrats will destroy this country and convince very stupid very low information people to do their dirty work convinced they are saving the world. In reality they are taking the world's last hope of freedom.

@coldjoint,

So on Friday, the trump legal team spent the day seeing their cases tossed out on their ear and ridiculed by courts in three swing states, saw two of the law firms trump et al hired petition the courts to let them withdraw their services, one crucial swing state complete their count and go for biden, be roundly criticized by a large group of federal prosecutors and be ridiculed by both republican and democratic election officials. A great day for justice in the usa. Biden-Harris won. Stop the republican steal.

It's a concise plan for them, rather than compulsion, and their plan got kicked to the kerb in 2016.

They're still butthurt four years later, like all these losers here.

President Trump taps Rudy Giuliani to take over election legal fight:

Prior lawyers pulled out of a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania Friday.[/size]

November 13, 2020

President Donald Trump has installed Rudy Giuliani to lead the legal efforts he has mounted to resuscitate his failed bid for a second term in office, a move that comes after a series of court defeats Friday, two sources told ABC News.

A spokesperson for Giuliani confirmed his expanded role for the president.

The decision, first reported by The New York Times, also came following court filings from the law firm that had been handling some of the Trump campaign's legal efforts. Lawyers from K Street firm Porter Wright Morris & Arthur have asked to withdraw from the federal lawsuit the Trump campaign filed in Pennsylvania to challenge the election results there.
....................
"Plaintiffs and Porter Wright have reached a mutual agreement that Plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws, and current co-counsel and such other counsel as Plaintiffs may choose to engage represent Plaintiffs in this case."

Porter Wright filed the initial complaint in federal court earlier this week.

"These law firms have been under tremendous pressure as it became clear these claims were baseless, and that they were part of a broader campaign to delegitimize the election," Wendy Weiser, from the Brennan Center for Justice, a bipartisan law and public policy institute, told ABC News. "This was not an appropriate use of the court system."

theRumps turning it into a comedy show now!

@Builder,

the castle is crumbling around his ears. You haven't been paying attention have you. trump is amply proven to be a criminal and there are dozens of lawsuits against him just waiting for jan. 20 to be filed. Biden isn't. You must have gotten your doctorate in fakelore.
