Barr and Durham were gently, tenderly sheltering the feelings of the Dems so as not to harm Biden's chances in the election to "affect" it. After four years of slander and lies trashing Trump's chances day and night whkle he was totally innocent or Russian collusion.
So that excuse is over. What's the new one? The boss "the Big Guy" Biden will go easy on them if they keep quiet now? What corruption by Barr and Durham if true. Disgusting. I want their salary tax money given back to us. What have they accomplished, exactly?
obviously he’s afraid to do an honest days work. What was he doing there anyway, just collecting our tax money for a fat paycheck for doing nothing?
I wish I could believe what you are saying. It makes sense.
But I just dont have faith.
hope I am pleasantly surprised
IRS targeting involvement
The House Oversight Committee learned about a database Lois Lerner, then head of the tax-exempt organizations division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), shared with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after interviewing Pilger and reviewing emails between him and Lerner. The discovery of this database eventually launched a Congressional investigation into whether the IRS was improperly targeting conservative organizations applying for a tax-exempt status.[5]
Pilger and Lerner discussed potentially prosecuting tax-exempt organizations, specifically 501(c)(4) groups, involved in political activity. Weeks before the 2010 midterm elections, emails between the two explicitly mentioned the expansive database. Lerner asked Pilger what format for the database would be preferable to the FBI. Pilger, in turn, relayed this inquiry to the FBI and responded to Lerner: “Thanks Lois – FBI says Raw format is best because they can put it into their systems like excel.”[5]
In 2013, Pilger and Lerner were again colluding about targeting tax-exempt groups. In an email from Lerner to Nikole Flax, former chief of staff to IRS commissioner Steven Miller, Lerner wrote:[6][7]
“ I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ. I know him from contacts from my days there. He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folk s [sic] could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse [sic] idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who “lied” on their 1024s —saying they weren’t planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large vis ible [sic] political expenditures. DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs. I told him that sounded like we mi ght [sic] need several folks from IRS. (quote) ”
After Pilger, at the recommendation of a DOJ lawyer, refused to answer questions 34 times, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) subpoenaed the Department of Justice. Issa said, “The Department’s refusal to allow Mr. Pilger to testify about matters highly relevant to the Committee’s investigation unnecessarily delays and frustrates the Committee’s Constitutional oversight obligations.”[8
Found the democrat.
Realllllllllllllly.
What about all that Russia Russia Russia bull.
Only 6 days AFTER he allowed them to steal the election. Thanks for nothing
If it is not too much trouble, would you provide a source for this quote—please?
I’m sure Mr. Pilger had been an exceptional bureaucrat who never met a Democrat he didn’t like. It seems he took exception to AG Barr’s idea of actually looking for Democrat election fraud.
I for one, wish him well in his new endeavors.

And the plot thickens.....NEXT???

Richard Pilger is a respected apolitical attorney who has been a federal corruption prosecutor for decades (including when I was one years ago). His resigning in protest makes clear to me that something very wrong indeed is happening here.
“Richard Pilger, the Chief US Justice Department official who oversees investigations of voter fraud, just quit.
Declaring he did not want to be part of the DOJ being used as a political weapon.”
The SOB probably wouldn’t have minded if his activities were used as a political weapon against a Conservative or Republican candidate. What a weasel he is.
Buh bye. And don’t come back.
Thank you. Now I know.
Pilger had strong ties to Lois Lerner and her IRS abuses under Obama. This is quite encouraging. Many had suggested he’d stay and block any real investigations. This implies he doesn’t think he can even though being ideally positioned. So he fell on his pension for PR instead.

I posed a thread about how the gatekeeper of criminal election fraud at the DOJ is Richard Pilger, who worked closely with Lois Lerner at the IRS in the Obama days (ie, when the DOJ rabidly pursued the president’s agenda — good, bad, or mostly ugly — to target Tea Party orgs.
How very bizarro!
