Deep State’s deep bench at the DOJ spells trouble ahead for political persecution of conservatives and investigation of election fraud

The Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice may be the most oxymoronically named unit within the federal government.  And a recent change in leadership there spells more unjust political persecution persecutions for conservative office-holders, including former Representative  Steve Stockman, recently released from federal prison (where he contracted COVID) thanks to a commutation of his sentence by President Trump.

The Public Integrity Section (PIS) has been missing in action when it comes to investigations of vote fraud in the presidential election. Its former head resigned in a huff 6 days after the election, rejecting then-AG Barr’s authorization for investigating voter fraud:

A Justice Department career official who oversees the DOJ’s election crimes unit resigned on Monday night, several hours after Attorney General Bill Barr issued a new Trump-friendly policy authorizing investigations into allegations of mass voter fraud before the election results are certified.

Richard Pilger, the director of the election crimes branch at the department’s Public Integrity Section (PIN), sent an email to his colleagues announcing that he was stepping down in response to the new rule.

But his replacement was no better. Ben Wetmore explains in a must-read post from Gateway Pundit late last month:

The DOJ appointed Robert Heberle, the acting Chief of the “Public Integrity Section” (PIS) of the Criminal Division of the Department, to investigate and prosecute “election related” crimes two weeks ago. This followed in the wake of the very public resignation of the prior prosecutor who refused to follow the President’s agenda. Heberle and PIS are notorious for prosecuting conservatives and being hitmen for conservative politicians.

The DOH-J is fading in the rear view. (”rear” ref, hat tip to pete buttplug) And voter fraud? WTH? You didn’t build that!

The DOJ is still filled with Holder’s people.

The people who ran guns to Mexican cartels and delivered plane loads of cash to Iran.

Looks as if they’re three or four deep in the deep state.
Only a nuclear blast will clear the air...

Good. I’m looking forward to the full court press from the left. Then we find out if Americans want liberty, or they merely want their phones and internet access.

I think it’s the latter.

The Senate will be responsible for the downfall of the US. Very sad that we are depending on the Marcos and Romneys to keep the Free World free.
