From The Washington Post:

Sixteen assistant U.S. attorneys specially assigned to monitor malfeasance in the 2020 election urged Attorney General William P. Barr on Friday to rescind his recent memorandum allowing them to publicly pursue allegations of “vote tabulation irregularities” in certain cases before results are certified, saying they had not seen evidence of any substantial anomalies.

In a letter — an image of which was shown to The Washington Post — the assistant U.S. attorneys told Barr that the release of his Monday memorandum — which changed long-standing Justice Department policy on the steps prosecutors can take before the results of an election are certified — “thrusts career prosecutors into partisan politics.”

The signers wrote that in the places where they served as district election officers, taking in reports of possible election-related crimes, there was no evidence of the kind of fraud that Barr’s memo had highlighted. Barr’s memo authorized prosecutors “to pursue substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities prior to the certification of elections in your jurisdictions in certain cases,” particularly where the outcome of an election could be affected.

“The policy change was not based in fact,” the assistant U.S. attorneys wrote.

The assistant U.S. attorneys who signed the letter were from 15 different federal court districts across the country as well as the Virgin Islands and Mariana Islands.

Ari Melber highlighted the significance of this development on MSNBC yesterday, saying, “Power moves swiftly."

Guest Eugene Robinson, of The Washington Post, noted that Trump’s lawyers “are being laughed out of court.” But “the judges are not amused” at the “frivolous litigation being filed,” Robinson added. “It’s just running into reality,”

Thank God.
