Statement by Attorney General Sessions on the Election Security Executive Order
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ^ | 13 SEPTEMBER 2018 | AG JEFF SESSIONS

Posted on 09/13/2018 5:14:08 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Attorney General Sessions today issued the following statement on the Election Security Executive Order:

“The American people will not tolerate attempts to undermine the integrity of our electoral process—especially by foreign countries and other bad actors. President Trump is committed to taking definitive action to prevent anyone—foreign or domestic—from illegally interfering in our elections, and the Department of Justice is proud to support him in this mission.

“Pursuant to the President’s executive order, the Department will work with our partners at the State Department, Treasury Department, and Department of Homeland Security, in order to identify enemies of our country who put our electoral integrity at risk. Once we do, we will take action to bring them to justice.

“I applaud President Trump’s leadership on this issue, and I want to echo the clear message he has sent today: we will not accept attacks on our free elections and we will do whatever it takes to protect them. This is what the American people demand, and this is what they deserve.”

This is not serious.

What foreign country ever influenced the results of an American election, in the past, or in 2016?

No country.

As to illegal voting, if the Democrats win the House or the Senate, will Jeff Sessions publicly announce there was no fraud?

Holy Smokes.

Talk about playing right into the hands of the MSM and the Democratic Party.

All the while an unconstitutional, illegal (by the DOJ’s own measure) continues unabated in the hope of finding a “crime” and overthrowing a duly elected president of the US. Yeah right, he’s right on it!

The "what is" seems specific to me.
Nothing related to illegals voting or poll manipulation or VoterID mentioned.
Is a failed attempt at access covered under this?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-states-election/

sect 1.(b)
(i) the extent to which any foreign interference that targeted election infrastructure materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, the tabulation of votes, or the timely transmission of election results; and

(ii) if any foreign interference involved activities targeting the infrastructure of, or pertaining to, a political organization, campaign, or candidate, the extent to which such activities materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, including by unauthorized access to, disclosure or threatened disclosure of, or alteration or falsification of, information or data.


Course I thought RICO was ok too, until its use got bastardize.

> “So why does Sessions let the RICO Sedition Conspiracy to GET TRUMP! continue among at least the FIB and DoJustUs?”

Sessions is recused from that area of activity.

Sessions has activity with illegals, child trafficking, borders, Elections, illegal drugs.

Sessions is only half an AG.

Not this.

“The American people will not tolerate attempts to undermine the integrity of our electoral process..”

I’ve had it with the RICO Sedition Conspiracy to screw up our elections.

Sessions is allowing the undermining of our electoral process by HIS OWN AGENCY. Trump needs to point this obvious oversight on his part concerning the new EO.

Sessions needs to be called out daily for not implementing this EO.

How vague.

How vague indeed.

The biggest threats to our elections are illegal aliens voting and Democrat election fraud in inner cities.

Add to that we have anti American Big Global Media and Big Global Tech companies pushing Democrat candidates and censoring people who support Republican candidates.

So what will Sessions and the DOJ do about this?

“Once again, the man you call “Sleepy Sessions” is woke and working diligently behind the scenes. “

No, he’s not. This effort if led by Sleepy Sessions is going nowhere.

“we now have an AG who takes the integrity of our elections seriously.”

Seriously?

Nominal AG Sessions cares not if parts of his own agency continue in their conspiracy to overthrow the results of the last election and we’ll see just what electoral impacting shenanigans comes out of the DoJustUs as the election approaches.

“Sessions is only half an AG.”

No! Not even half. That stupid do-nothing doesn’t even deserve a participation award.

I no longer want Sessions to quit or be fired, I want him financially ruined and doing prison time.

Obama, Clinton, Comey. Lynch, and on down the line are all inoculated by Russia Collusion in an attempt to get Trump.

Election Security for Midterms and after is viewed differently. Russians may be thought to be involved in future elections but in terms of collusion in 2016 to influence the election against HRC, Sessions is locked out by his own recusal.

The Russia Collusion is confined to those activities that happened in 2016-2017 thought to suppress voter turnout in November 2016.

Sessions is recused from all of that.

Sessions as AG still has purview of Election Security from 2018 on. Whether he is competent or not is subject to opinion but the 2016-2017 schemes and coup attempts are not taken to him for action.

DHS is prime office for Election Security. DOJ is tasked to investigate, arrest, prosecute election law violators.

Do I personally have confidence in Sessions for his part of Election Security? No.
Will he accomplish some enforcement in matters of election security? He will accomplish some things but he will not have IMO a comprehensive handle on it.
