U.S. Attorney General William P. Barr, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf, Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, U.S. Cyber Command Commander and National Security Agency Director Gen. Paul Nakasone, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs today released the following joint statement:

“Tomorrow, millions of voters in more than a dozen states and territories will cast their votes in presidential primaries. ‘Super Tuesday’ will see more Americans head to the polls than any other day of the primary season. We continue to work with all 50 states, U.S. territories, local officials, political parties and private sector partners to keep elections free from foreign interference.

“Americans must also remain aware that foreign actors continue to try to influence public sentiment and shape voter perceptions. They spread false information and propaganda about political processes and candidates on social media in hopes to cause confusion and create doubt in our system. We remain alert and ready to respond to any efforts to disrupt the 2020 elections. We continue to make it clear to foreign actors that any effort to undermine our democratic processes will be met with sharp consequences.

“The level of coordination and communication between the federal government and state, local and private sector partners is stronger than it’s ever been. Our Departments and Agencies are working together in an unprecedented level of commitment and effort to protect our elections and to counter malign foreign influence, but voters have a role to play too.

“We encourage all voters going to the polls to check your voter registration and know ahead of time when to vote, where to vote, what’s on your ballot, and whether your state requires identification. Your state or local election official’s office is the most trusted source for election material. A well-informed and vigilant republic is the best defense against disinformation.”

The year 2020 marks the 150th anniversary of the Department of Justice.  Learn more about the history of our agency at www.Justice.gov/Celebrating150Years.

Reposting good news from late last night. It first appeared on the DOJ website last night. All hands on deck to protect election - it has to have traumatized the lefties when they read this news!

-Elsewhere, I see an early sign this is horrible news for the dems:

Used on another thread in the forum and reposted here:

Some are worried these agencies are still fully infiltrated but Trump has been cleaning house/agencies.

I’d read stories that claimed TRUMP had declared “war” on the FBI in his first year in office ; one report said he had “gutted” the Agency of many staff but these seemed to be below the level of executive.
Some examples of higher up FBI officials who have been REMOVED (often saying “stepped down”,” retired”, “fired”, “moved on”)

Last excerpt from another thread and it's a great one:

rdcbn to ransomnote

The concept of “Be careful what you ask for, you might get it” is going to be a bitch for Democrats. They are going to get it good and hard.

BTW, DHS is responsible for ensuring no ineligible foreigners taint our electoral process with commit voter fraud so nice ICE rep drinking coffee with a CISA Auditor in every district could be a wonderful thing.

Very disappointed that President Trump forgot to retain The Ghost Busters to help ensure that malevolent ghosts of the long dead don't return from their cemeteries to haunt the voting booths but he was preoccupied with impeachment and all so willing to the guy a pass this time around.

All the guys from

The

Best

Election

Ever

crowd about to get their Best Ever expectations bar raised in 2020. Watching the Dems howl and sputter at how dutifully The Impeached and Fully Exonerated One is going give them the clean, transparent election they ask for, no - they demand, is going to be entertainment epic.

No Russia, Russia, Russia this time around.

Any truth to the rumor that the CDC has asked people to NOT go to polling places on Super Tuesday for fear of contracting and spreading coronavirus?

Really doubt it - what about schools, stores, airports etc. Sounds 100% fake.

“Very disappointed that President Trump forgot to retain The Ghost Busters to help ensure that malevolent ghosts of the long dead don’t return”

Bill is 69, guessing only the female Ghost Busters would have been available.

Awesome. The agencies that brought us the coup are involved. The FBI, DOD, and NSA who had nobody held accountable.

Why does this not inspire trust?
