'Only a full and transparent investigation...will suffice to restore the American public’s trust.'
December 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Yesterday, the American Principles Project (APP) renewed its call for President Donald Trump and the U.S. Department of Justice to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the growing allegations of election fraud stemming from last month’s general election. Twenty-seven U.S. House members have also written to Trump in a letter on December 9 asking him to instruct the Attorney General to appoint a special counsel to look into irregularities.
APP president Frank Cannon and executive director Terry Schilling initially argued for an special prosecutor on election fraud in a November 23 op-ed for The Federalist:
The Trump administration ought to appoint a special counsel without delay in order to ensure an ongoing and independent investigation into what seems to be Democratic election tampering. If the left is unwilling to accept the notion of an independent investigation into the election’s integrity, that would, at the very least, be clarifying.More importantly, the American people deserve to have confidence that our elections are truly free and truly fair. That kind of confidence can only come through public discussion of the facts and an open and transparent investigation of the allegations.
On Friday Schilling repeated that appeal:
In the weeks since the November 3 election, rampant reports of voter fraud and election irregularities have surfaced in a number of closely contested swing states. And while the legacy media and other leftist institutions have done their best to ignore or censor these reports, polls have shown that numerous Americans — as many as 40 percent — are still distrustful of the results. This is nothing less than a national crisis.If our constitutional republic is to survive the years ahead, its citizens must have confidence in the integrity of our elections. And this confidence will not be earned by the mere act of politicians and pundits loudly insisting that the vote was fair and banning all arguments to the contrary. Only a full and transparent investigation into the many troubling details which have emerged since the election will suffice to restore the American public’s trust.
This is why APP is calling on President Trump and the Department of Justice to appoint a special prosecutor to conduct this investigation. Nearly four years ago, the DOJ took this same action, on far less evidence, to look into now-debunked claims the President’s campaign had colluded with Russians. Given the much higher stakes surrounding potential voter fraud in this last election, our leaders have an obligation to treat this issue with the same seriousness. We urge them to do so immediately.
Surely Attorney General Bill Barr will get right on this ... /s
Release the Powell!
Can anyone site a case where a special prosecutor ever found somthing other then there was no evidence to prove a crime?
Ken Starr on BJ Clinton.
But the impeachment was not voted for conviction.
Well if the were to DEMAND it they may get some results. Or not.
Each state in question should also have a special investigation.
I think that a special prosecutor should be appointed for that purpose and now!

We need 2 as Giuliani said one for election fraud and the other for the crimes of joe and his family
Nothing will restore trust in the election process. Regardless of what the finding is half the people will not accept the results.
All talk and no action ever. Why talk about fraud? Nothing will be done by Democrats or RINOs.
Why bother? Those who fail to learn from the failures of history will likely be condemned to repeat those painful lessons.
Unless This Election is
Corrected,
No amount of
“Sternly Written Letters”
will restore Our
First Amendment Rights.
With any luck they will finish in three years. Too bad Joe will finish in about 3 months.
