“What happened today, and what prompted Pilger to “quit” was that AG Barr said to US Attorneys – “If you have substantial allegations of election fraud in your district, you have authority to investigate that.” Basically, Barr cut Pilger and Election Crimes Branch out of the picture as “gatekeepers” to starting investigations in places like Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Detroit, and Atlanta.”

ThanQ for sharing malach’s post regarding the Redstate article. As I read AG Barr’s letter, I wondered about it being so carefully crafted. Now, I think, I understand much better.

Me too. Funny how the MSM didn’t mention the actual reason Pilger “quit” but instead implied he viewed DOJ actions as improper.
Thinking about it now, I wonder if Barr intentionally gave Pilger time to respond to the tsunami of fraud accusations before firing him. Yes, we’re told he resigned, but others have resigned who were actually fired. Waiting as patiently as possible would have given Barr plenty-o-proof that Pilger was not functioning: “You received X number of signficantncomplains over X number of days and you did....nothing.”
