Maybe I’m engaging in a little wishful thinking, but this gives me reason to hope:
Sixteen U.S. Attorneys, all of whom were specifically assigned to monitor the 2020 election, have sent Bill Barr a letter confirming that there is no evidence of any election irregularities. In other words, all that Barr has done is to cause even more public officials to come out of the woodwork to confirm that Donald Trump’s election defeat was entirely legitimate. This was never going anywhere to begin with, but now it’s over.
This was in response to Barr’s announcement of a probe into election irregularities. Am I wrong to think that this was their way of telling Barr to shove it up his ass?
Trump often complains about the “deep state”, and he has a point. People within the federal government often resist violations of norms. Some of them want to do the job they were hired to do, rather than serve a political agenda or, in the case of Trump, sign on to a cult of personality.
It’s likely true that Barr did what he did mostly to satisfy Trump, and maybe to keep his hopes for a Fox gig alive. In any event, it seems clear his investigation is going nowhere, and we can thank these U.S. Attorneys for helping to make sure of that.
