 Barr: No evidence of fraud that’d change election outcome

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

His comments come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the election was stolen, and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.

The comments are especially direct coming from Barr, who has been one of the president’s most ardent allies. Before the election, he had repeatedly raised the notion that mail-in voter fraud could be especially vulnerable to fraud during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans feared going to polls and instead chose to vote by mail.

About flippin' time.   There are two GA Senate contests to win, and not a moment to lose.

Amazing.  Cant wait to see how he will be savaged.  Truth is not welcome in a lot of parts here.

apnews says “ Barr, (is) one of the president’s most ardent allies. 

Barr was a moderately safe pick after the Sessions mistake, that’s all.

Presidents usually select close friends and ‘wing men’ for their AG, which was decidedly not Barr.

Unfortunately, this was another of Trump’s unavoidable mistakes. Unavoidable because as an outsider he had no connected friends in Washington with the critical prosecutor skills to fill the all important AG position.

He needed someone watching his back in the legal snake pit that is Washington politics. A situation that repeatedly bogged his presidency down in personnel issues and controversy.

He says he hasn't seen enough evidence.

I would ask him what the DOJ has done by way of investigating this election. Has he been looking?

I don't know, I haven't heard.

What is the margin of victory in AZ, 10k votes? In MI, 150k votes? GA - 12k votes? PA, 80k votes? WI, 20k votes?

There's not alot of fraud required to swing things there, I'm not AG but I've heard plenty of circumstantial evidence. I'm not sure how Barr can make such an assertion.

Crooked Hillary lost by less.
And James "Deep State" Comey absolutely killed her with that letter. Late deciders in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania broke heavy for Trump in 2016.

That's tangible election interference right there. Not that Trump complained about it, of course.

No, Trump instead searched for those three million illegals that cast ballots for Hillary. He assured us this was the reason for the difference in the popular vote.

As soon as we find those ballots, we should move on to the ones from this election...

A scathing indictment of the Justice Department.  Because there are random Americans uncovering evidence all across the country that would absolutely change the outcomes of several 2020 elections including the Presidency.  The fact that the Justice Department hasn't proves that they are incompetent, worthless, or downright corrupt.

I’m sure your post makes complete sense to CNN’s audience and others with no capacity for critical thought. Others might consider it a tad sophistic.

Exactly ... and is if we didn't see this coming!  AG Barr has been worthless from the start.  What continues to trouble me and I continue to question is why Trump selected Barr in the first place.  His association with past administrations and being part of the swamp have been obvious.  Who suggested him to Trump?? ....OR better yet .... perhaps even Trump has been in on this manipulation?

Here come the daggers and spears, I know ... but his poor selection hasn't just been limited to Barr; Sessions, Rosenstein, Giuliani ....and many others.  Why?  If these people were selected on someone's advice; who advised him?  My guess is Jared.

[cato potatoe]

Trump made a habit of claiming the elections were rigged whenever he lost a primary.  I remember when he claimed to have evidence that Obama was born abroad.  Bottom line, he says a lot of things he can't prove ... and now that he needs people to listen to him, most are tuning him out.

I've brought that point up in here numerous times .... since Trump named Sessions AG.  I cringed when he was selected.

Then they should watch the state hearings ongoing now.

This has nothing to do with what Trump is saying. If Rasmussen is to be believed half the nation, and 30% of democrats, think the election was bogus.

Another deep state POS has spoken.   Now he and his wife can go back to openly being best buds with Mueller & Co.

No, it has nothing to do with what Trump is saying but Trump not know where his heads of the CIA, FBI, and now this statement by Barr, is very telling.  It's absolutely over.  Those that Trump thought were on his side, especially Barr have never been on his side.  The question still remains ... why in the heck did he appoint him/them in the first place?

Certainly raises questions in my mind.

Don't get me wrong.  Trump has done a lot of good and certainly exceeded a lot of expectations .... but I can't help but question his selection of a lot of people and his lack of actions on several issues; border security when he had a full majority and his failure to utilize the Insurrection Act...tearing down every Republican candidate but going soft on Hillary .... there are other instances...and I can make other speculations now as well...but I don't want to be burned at the stake in here...so I'll leave well enough alone.

I don't think we'll ever know some of the answers.

Do I believe this election was rigged and fraudulent?  Absolutely without a doubt!!!

[skeeter]

Because Trump, the outsider, had only the GOPe and deep state beltway denizens to choose from and depend upon. He was screwed from the outset. I’m amazed he did as well as he did.

Yup.  He's the boy who cried "wolf" one too many times.  Only the cultists believe him now. 

[corbe]

   IOW, He AND Sessions wouldn't make a pimple on either of these girl's azzes.

Cultists, that’s funny.

Seems you’ve slipped the chain, JH. What happened to unity? Maybe you should hold off on the usual overt expressions of contempt for a majority chunk of your party until after the GA runoffs.

I agree. That is the end of everything.
But there is some schadenfreude in knowing that these people have no idea on Earth what they are ushering in.
We will all suffer. But we all know that. They think they will be unaffected. And that makes all the difference to me.
They literally have no idea what they are inviting down on their own heads.
If I have to suffer so that they suffer, it is not anything I would wish for.
But so be it. Alright. Let's go. Let's welcome in President NoBody Idiot who works for the Chinese.
This is going to be one wild ride folks.

Biden will be sworn in and it will be back to business as usual at the ole country club.  The GOPe is in for a huge surprise when they realize that they are going to be thrown out on their azzes!  There aren't enough true conservatives left in the Senate or the House to make a darn bit of difference.

Freedom and the Constitution are worth fighting for and we have an absolute uphill battle; especially since there is no integrity left at the ballot box.

I agree..he got advice from other deep staters...

My husband keeps asking me if any of these people have a conscience...I tell him their reasoning is the ends justify the means....
