DOJ issues clarification — investigation into voter fraud is NOT over

[NightHawkeye]

From the "Twisted by media", files: DOJ issues clarification—investigation into voter fraud is NOT over

A DOJ spokesperson had said that “Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. That is not what the Associated Press reported nor what the Attorney General stated. The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible."​

Barr said "to date" none of any electoral significance had been found.

Well, sure, even if Trump hadn't made his delusional accusations of massive voter fraud, it's still the FBI's job to sniff out any actual fraud that might have occurred, no matter how minor.

 

[Hank77]

Don't think most people would think that the DOJ wouldn't investigate any 'new' specific and credible allegations.

Hi all,

Oh, LOL - LOL - LOL! I was just waiting for that, either retract or get fired, response.

It seems that they couldn't get Mr. Barr himself to issue the 'clarification'.

God bless,

I’m assuming you agree with this:

“Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election.​

Any examples?

Examples of the current DOJ spokesperson issuing distorting statements. Well, there's this one...

It's phrased very carefully in negative-ese.

Compare it with: Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that scientists have announced an affirmative finding that NO Bigfeet exist.

This does not mean the scientists have examples of Bigfoot. Quite the contrary. But the scientists have not gone out on a limb to conclude there are no Bigfeet, just because they don't have any evidence of them.

Hi ES and @NightHawkeye

Ok, point taken. Now, for both of you, any examples? Which media outlets have written up any articles that the DOJ or FBI investigations are over? I think most of the media outlets have merely repeated Barr's words and then gone on to explain all the baseless suits that we've all seen so far. They have also pointed out that this statement by Barr is likely not going to be received well by the president or the 'trump election fraud' team. I honestly haven't seen yet any media outlets making any claims that the DOJ or the FBI is finished with any investigations.

It seems, so far, that the WH and 'trump election fraud' team are trying to topple a windmill that "Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of election fraud...". Those two entities, as far as I have seen, have made such a claim in the media. Now, that's certainly not to say that some people reading these articles aren't thinking that the investigations are over, but I haven't yet seen a media outlet say that. Examples, please?

So, how about some examples to support your statement.

God bless,

Senator Ron Johnson demands that Barr turn over all the photographs without Bigfoot in them.

Awsome. It seems you/we were correct. We do not yet fully know what they are doing at this point. I personally do not yet see this as dropping the ball. We are just unaware of all their actions.

Especially since there is no ball to drop.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Well, Barr's got to say something to keep his job.

Or that they'll hunt any snipe that Donald orders them to.
