Attorney General William Barr’s decision to have the Department of Justice (DOJ) probe any "substantial allegations" of voter fraud has triggered a wave of backlash that he is seeking to breathe life into President Trump’s unfounded claims of a stolen election.
Barr’s announcement Monday quickly sparked fallout at the agency, with the top official in charge of voting crimes investigations saying just hours later that he would step down from his role.
In a carefully worded memo, the attorney general authorized federal prosecutors to take investigative steps on “specific instances” of abuse “prior to the certification of elections” in their respective jurisdictions, but he warned that “specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries,” according to reports

They should be scared. Pompeo has a big swamp area in State, and still made the boast about the “2nd term”.
Good. Easy to make a list of who to fire in Trump’s second term.
Fire everyone who objects.
“breathe life into President Trump’s unfounded claims of a stolen election.”
They keep trying to make it all “unfounded.” Dirty bastards.
Should have been weeded out a LONG time ago!!!!!
Fire more bastards. DO SOMETHING BARR!
Dismantle the FBI. F Hannity’s fake 99%.
They can resign en mass.
Wait I thought this was just a procedural, normal matter item from Barr and wouldn’t change anything. What’s the Deep State hiding? Oh right, biggest coordinated electoral fraud in history.
One person resigned, and that’s because he didn’t want to investigate Democrat fraud. He would have been perfectly fine to investigate fraud if the Republicans had committed it.
If NOTHING else, the rampant cheating that the Democrats have engage in for decades will be exposed. This, above all else, is their biggest fear.
Th reason they are against it is that it takes their decades build this legal shield for democrats party to commit election frauds without interference by law enforcement
They keep using that word "unfounded"...I don't think it means what they think it means (Princess Bride allusion).
Barry and Mike were the masterminds....I don’t think the Clintons would have tried this.....this is Chicago deep dish fraud
“One person resigned, and that’s because he didn’t want to investigate Democrat fraud.”
And that’s a “firestorm”. Right.
Abject, utter failure.
Handed the greatest honor the American people can bestow, and pissed it away.
How is Barr provoking a fire storm? I thought there was “no credible evidence of any fraud”? So says Big Media.
The DOJ is TOTALLY CORRUPT!!! TOTALLY!!
The swamp is very deep in the DOJ
