The Department of Justice did not want to discuss why the agency refuses to investigate alleged harassment and death threats toward Electoral College voters in states that went for Donald Trump.

“The department will decline to comment,” DOJ deputy press secretary David Jacobs told The Daily Caller in an email Wednesday afternoon.

Hmmm. As jojo biden might quip, "One word. Loretta lynch." Since they wouldn't comment, does that leave open the possibility they COULD be looking in to it?

Do we really have to ask?

Now, let them threaten anyone from a blue state and watch what happens.

Likely because they are aware a good number of the threats are coming from INSIDE the DOJ.

Heads at the DOJ need to roll into very long prison terms when their security of Obama has evaporated.

It’s tacit approval of the threats for DOJ to take this stance

Seriously. They must all be planning to retire next month, because after Jan. 20 their careers are going to be mud.

Lynch’s excuse better be because she’s packing her bags because she’s out of there come January.

This so called DOJ is a joke. Trump needs to fire them all.

Everyday we see more and more of the Left’s disdain for our democracy. Now THIS is truly deplorable.

After Obama leaves office, the stories that are going to come out about his administration’s shenanigans will really scare people. And those stories WILL come out.

Like the DOJ is going to tell the FBI to stop threatening the Electors, come on, Hillary and Obama gave the order. The FBI is nothing more than lapdogs for the Ruling Class.

The LDSR (Lame Duck Soon Retired) did one thing better than any President in my lifetime: he kept a lid on leaks from within his administration. Severe threats will dampen the enthusiasm of even the most motivated leaker.

Loretta needs to be perp-walked in leg irons and handcuffs within the first 90 days for her official misconduct.
