I am curious to know whether Barr’s “order” has been preserved, when it happened, and what form it took.
Seems Barr claims he was “hands off” and did not illegal interfere. He did.
What does a Marine do when the order(s) are clearly illegal ?
So if the justice department Barr orders you to jump off a cliff, I’m sure your Marine training would force you to do just that, right?
I thought the armed forces were taught not to obey illegal orders.🤔
And he wants to be my governor to replace Mr. Wolf and he let RINO Barr run over him interesting.
Barr resigned early and got out ahead of January 6th that is even more interesting to me.
Election fraud is a federal offense for which the Justice Department has jurisdiction and responsibility. (See document at link below.) Barr is a deep state, never-Trumper coward and will have to go to his grave knowing that he materially participated in the death of this nation.
McSwain would then follow the next order he was given to cover up crime. Non-sense. Learn to code.
Bkmk
Philly has ALWAYS had voter fraud. Why wouldn’t Barr take the opportunity to look at it?
“Once elected Governor, one of my first priorities would be to modernize Pennsylvania’s election process”
Wrong answer except for voter ID. What he needs to do is de modernize the system. Go back to when none of that other crap even existed. It was much harder to cheat. Electronic voting apparatus have no place in our elections because there are a thousand ways to cheat with them without even leaving a trail. Or least one that can be easily followed.
A GOP candidate who actually served in uniform that might actually find himself in harms way. Not many of them.
He just comes across as the typical jar head who couldn’t comprehend that the “chain of command” wasn’t sacrosanct, but protecting free and fair elections was necessary to fulfill his constitutional obligation to guarantee a “Republican form of government”. He should have done more sooner. I would have a problem voting for this guy in the primary. His judgment is lacking basic common sense.
Disagree. His judgement is fine. Trump was riding solo in the swamp. Barr would have just fired him if he had stuck his neck out. That that would have been that because of the bipartisan nature of the stolen election. They all wanted Trump gone and McSwain would have been a footnote.
Good grief. The Right wing cancel culture logic is as silly as that on the Left.
The fed attorney received no illegal orders. He just followed his boss’s orders reflecting policy we might not agree was best.
For crying out loud, McSwain is loving Trump, agreeing with Trump on election fraud, has experience fighting it first hand and now wants to be the top executive in one of the more dependably crooked states.
I know it’s been a while. So we forget what it’s like, but that result would feel like winning to me.
On the other more Left-looking hand, generally without better options suggested, folks here want to disown this guy because he did not (could not) stop his boss’s policy decisions and could not find a way to sacrifice himself to save the guy who hired his boss?
I don’t know McSwain from Adam. But the arguments against him here seem quite weak.
You SHOULD have done it anyway!
US Attorney McSwain was forced by Barr to send any reports on the 2020 election results directly to Penn AG Josh Shapiro, and to no one else.
Josh Shapiro is running for Penn Governor this year.
William McSwain just announced he is also running for Penn Governor this year.
