Just saw the link. Since it is the AP, I would like to hear exactly what Barr said, in full, in context.

By MICHAEL BALSAMO
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

His comments come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the election was stolen, and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.

The comments are especially direct coming from Barr, who has been one of the president’s most ardent allies. Before the election, he had repeatedly raised the notion that mail-in voter fraud could be especially vulnerable to fraud during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans feared going to polls and instead chose to vote by mail.

Very concerning about Barr. It means the DOJ and FBI aren’t going to be any help. It’s difficult to get to the bottom of a criminal enterprise without subpoenas and grand juries. Trump’s lawyers have so far been able to gather a lot of information, but it is only from those on our side. We need FBI agents talking to those who drove the ballots to the counting centers, entered them, and were part of the scam. That would be game over.
