“The Presidents son seemed particularly irked at the notion that a voter fraud investigator would be upset at the idea of people actually investigating voter fraud.”
Great point. Incredible.
Pilger probably saw his job as protecting those who committed the fraud.
Resigned in protest, or his resignation was demanded? Still not clear.
I don’t understand how he lasted as long as he did in his position.
Why wasn’t he fired before today?
I think I already said that this DOJ guy protecting elections is nearly certain doing the exact opposite. He is the guy hiding the obvious. DOJ is just an evil arm of DC; pretending to protect USA and USAians as it does the opposite.
Isnt that dereliction of duty?
My gut says he’s complicit
Me too. Maybe helped orchestrate it.
His old man should have fired the son of a bitch the day he became president...as well as a couple of thousand other SES/political hacks.
Why wasnt he fired before today?
To be honest? Trump is a moron when it comes to employing people. Why is Wray and Barr there? These are people in Trumps way. Whats the FBI doing? Nothing! Fire them all NOW!
I made that comment on a post yesterday when the story broke. A couple of people responded saying this j.o. was Lois Lerner’s sidekick in the persecution of Tea Party people and another said that this guy blocked investigations. So, I think we are right...
Yes. Things are so crazy and seem to be moving at warp speed.
I agree 100%
Stop with the clickbait, blog pimp.

Donald Trump Jr. criticized Richard Pilger, the DOJs top election crimes prosecutor, after he decided to resign in protest following Attorney General William Barrs authorization of federal prosecutors to investigate voting irregularities in this years presidential election.
Trump Jr. alleged that Pilger was a member of the deep state.
The Presidents son seemed particularly irked at the notion that a voter fraud investigator would be upset at the idea of people actually investigating voter fraud.
Wait. Seriously? Isnt this the guy who was involved with the IRS and Lois Lerner in targeting conservatives and the Tea Party? Trump Jr. tweeted.
Have President Trump’s four years in office been a success?
Yes - A resounding success.
No - It’s been a complete failure.
A little bit of both.

DOJ Voter Fraud Investigator Richard Pilger Decides to Resign In Protest
In a memo issued on Monday, Barr authorized an investigation into substantial allegations of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified.
The memo does not indicate there has been evidence of widespread problems but encourages pursuit if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State.
Pilger, in apparent disgust, stepped down from his post within hours according to the New York Times.
Today:
2:30pm: Bill Barr meets with @senatemajldr.
3:23pm: @senatemajldr defends Trump in Senate speech.
7pm: Barr authorizes DOJ to investigate election fraud.
8pm: Obama lackey Richard Pilger resigns from DOJ election crimes job.
Maybe the GOP decided to fight.

Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications, Pilger wrote, I must regretfully resign from my role as director of the Election Crimes Branch.
He went on to write that Barr has ushered in 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.
Perhaps non-interference in elections from the voter fraud division of the DOJ isnt really the best policy? Perhaps thats why were staring at so many questions in so many states?
Attorney General Barr said that while most allegations of voter fraud are not significant enough to affect election results, that is not always the case.
But he also said any investigations should avoid focus on specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims.
Why would Pilger object to this?
Thus far, claims of widespread election fraud have gone unproven. Could authorizing investigations, as Barr has done, change that?
Katie Benner of the NYT fails to google Richard Pilger before reporting on him.
Pro tip: google Lois Lerner, Richard Pilger, IRS, Conservatives https://t.co/u0ZQiMJlYZ

Pilger and His Links to Lois Lerners IRS Scandal
Trump Jr. asked followers on social media if Pilger is the same guy who was involved with the IRS and Lois Lerner in targeting conservatives and the Tea Party.
Indeed, Pilger was involved in discussions of whether conservative groups could be prosecuted for misleading the IRS about their political activities.
The Wall Street Journal described him as a foot on the gas pedal during the IRSs increased screening of conservative 501(c) groups.
Guess who was in charge of voter fraud investigations at DOJ? Richard Pilger.
Same hack who colluded with Lois Lerner under Obama to target conservatives and tea party through the IRS! When asked to look into fraud now, he resigned!
Im so shocked
Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) November 10, 2020
He met with Lerner in October of 2010 to explore being more vigilant to the opportunities from more crime in the area of tax-exempt organizations.
This was after a Cincinnati-based IRS unit under Lerners direction had already begun searching for tax-exemption requests involving the words Tea Party and other political sounding names.
Odd that Pilger, who will be hailed as an exceptional example of morals and decency by the media in the coming days, didnt have the fortitude to resign from his position in protest at the time.
