Ex-Trump aide Meadows pushed DOJ to probe multiple election theories: report
The Hill ^ | May 5, 2021 | Lexi Lonas

Posted on 06/06/2021 5:54:36 PM PDT by Dr. Franklin

Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows pushed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to probe multiple unfounded theories about the 2020 presidential election in the weeks leaking up to President Biden's inauguration, according to newly obtained emails reported by The New York Times.

The Times said that it obtained five emails from December and January between Meadows and Jeffrey Rosen, the acting attorney general at the time, showing Meadows pressing the DOJ head to look at multiple election fraud claims that were circling on the internet.
...
According to the emails cited by The Times, Rosen said he refused to entertain the theories and refused to set up a meeting between the FBI and a man who was pushing the Italy conspiracy theory, known as "Italygate."

The former White House chief of staff also reportedly asked the acting DOJ head to look into claims of electoral fraud in New Mexico despite the local secretary of State's office maintaining that its election was secure.

The Times reported that the emails and people close to Rosen indicated he did not investigate the claims Meadows asked him about. The emails were reportedly found during a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into whether officials in the DOJ participated in efforts to overturn the election.

A spokesperson for Meadows declined to comment for The Times report. The Hill has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment.

So Jeffrey Rosen REFUSED to investigate the confession in open court from Naples, Italy from Arturo D'Elia. Since it was never investigated by the DuhJ, no one can claim it has been "already debunked" since it was never investigated from the start. And why did Rosen still have a job after Election Day?

“Unfounded” pretty much calls for a probe. That’s how the truth comes to be discovered.

yup- like probe’s which proved Russian Collusion and the fake Dossier were complete BS.

If they were really sure there was nothing there they would have a full blown investigation- but they are to cowardly to investigate the theft of the 2020 election because they know what they will find.

Trump was the Chief Executive Officer of the DOJ and FBI.

The President - or his Chief of Staff - can lawfully instruct the DOJ and the FBI to investigate ANY suspicious activity that the President wants investigated!

Even if the DOJ did/does investigate the allegations, do we expect them to be impartial and honest?

to develop “probable cause” investigation must occur into the claim and subsequent leads.

Did the justice dept decline to investigate a rumor re:russia.. Trump... did they go after Flynn...Rudy.. anyone connected to Trump to get him out..
There are many why’s I’ve heard.. but none fit the circumstances as well as realizing its a spiritual battle.. they hate Trump.. because?

Hair?... not really. His bold talk? Not really.. there are others who are mouthy...
Hes doing everything right?..
You know that isn’t it.. biden just undid..it all.
They want Trump out do they can rule the world.. you saw the open doors on our southern border.. did it bother you?
The left were pleased.
Let me direct you to where satan told Jesus
“I will give you all the nations of the world if you will worship me”.

The world gov is what they want.
Just worship me...

The black youth are out destroying.. rioting.. they must not have jobs..
The dems kept them in inner city.. bad schools.. no hope for better..

They are an angry bunch. ..and the dems want them angry.. to keep voting dems.
Someone needs to wake them from slumber.

Folks!!! This the dems have done to get
Trump out, is akin to treason.
Overthrowing a gov from within is not cool... WHY ARE THEY NOT IN PRISON!

Not only Rosen.. barr refused to do anything.. said it was a state issue.
But when AZ started finding things in their audit.. the justice dept went to AZ and tried to stop them.

It was..is.. the people who are doing the audits.. gov won’t! Do it...

Today mrs Joe biden and fauci were booed and yelled at with bull horns.. the crowd reacted to that CORRUPTION we are witnessing
...and not liking any of it.

Gen. McInerney has stated that this was a biological attack from China. So, aiding and abetting the Chinese to rig the election is not "akin to treason". It is treason, which is punishable by execution under statute.

..........................................
“Unfounded”? If investigation didn’t happen what was the basis for characterizing the multiple “theories” as UNFOUNDED? Obviously just more Leftist obfuscation!

Exactly.

First, The Hill is a leftist organ that like other leftist organs and cannot write a piece without editorializing their politics.

Second - How does The Hill know it is “unfounded” when no investigation was undertaken to determine the truth.

I bet the investigation by Special Counsel John Durham will also go silent.

Does anyone know if the Secy of State of New Mexico got Soros/friends money? If so, “Albuquerque, you have a problem”.

Rosen was a useless POS just like his predecessors.

They used to be aware of Treason and/or treasonous acts, and took it seriously..

Society.. government.. even parents.. have become wishy washy on too many things.

Don’t hold them responsible.. they didn’t know.

Dont hold them responsible, it will cost you the election

Don’t hold them responsible.. it was just a misunderstanding.

Why is it so hard to get an understanding on responsibility.. accountability.. consequences..

You don’t turn out success by ignoring the 3 lesson teachers ...

Overthrowing our government is a long way in the wrong direction.

Just why do you think China wanted biden in and Trump out..
Easy prey.. all the money biden got from China, they figure he will do what they want.

I hold the dearest 5 in my life,, to more accountablity than our gov does for enemies.
And the justice system is a joke.. going after one innocent and ignoring guilty next to them.

Wesponizing the gov to work against citizens. Is what socialist.. communist gov do. ..

I never imagined this United States would ever let socialists be in congress .
And is biden a socialist?

I will never put the word PRESIDENT before his name.. the dems have lost their minds .. ..they have no place in gov nor making decisions.

They are working their way to global gov...
Hey..listen up.. God put this country together... and He is not giving it to Satan’s army of intolerant.

You will work up a sweat.. and get nothing.
