Bill Barr's DOJ changed the rules to allow election interference and investigations

[BS Filter]

That proves Republicans aren't ideologically opposed to someone who is qualified. Is Amy Barrett qualified?

Nobody is saying she isn't qualified. They're saying that the McConnell rule, where the people get a voice through their votes in a presidential election year should be followed.

The people voted for this President and this Senate.

 

[meaner gene]

Obfuscation....I was specific...And you dodged, because you know that Democrat's nominated ideological Justices.

Democrats never put ideology above qualification. Every democratic justice, no matter their ideology, was WELL qualified first and foremost.

Republicans put UNQUALIFIED judges on the federal bench, merely because of their political ideology. People barely out of law school. Some who barely knew what happened inside a federal court.

This of course, changes long standing policy.

And of course it's lie.

During a presidential election year, the people are entitled to change their mind. And that change of mind should be listened to.

If you believe past choices shouldn't be changeable, you wouldn't vote for Trump, who divorced twice (change of mind)

 

[j-mac]

Because in the span on Andrew Johnsons (D) term, the republicans changed the number of justices twice.

150 years ago.

150 years ago, they could filibuster legislation. They could filibuster federal district court judges.

But not today. Times change. And congress can change the number of justices just like they changed the filibuster rules.

I'd say admit it, own it, and the sooner the better....Biden knows better than to say he supports it, but clearly some in here don't...Since you people love polls so much....

" 21. Would you support or oppose increasing the number of U.S Supreme Court justices, which would give the winner of the presidential election more influence over the court’s makeup?

So, there's no support for court packing...

OH and politics isnt an ideology,,,

In social studies, a political ideology is a certain set of ethical ideals, principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of a social movement, institution, class or large group that explains how society should work and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a certain social order.

Test the bastard before the debate by an independent lab for both COVIDS and Roids. This should be MANDATORY. He's got some nerve demanding Biden be tested for "performance enhancing drugs" y'think?

Seems doubtful

The russians were banned from competition because they used banned drugs.

Maybe Trump should be disqualified from the debates for the same reason.

This of course, changes long standing policy. Everyone had better buckle up and be watchful. It's coming.

In an internal announcement, the Justice Department created an exception to a decadeslong policy meant to prevent prosecutors from taking overt investigative steps that might affect the outcome of the vote.​

​

The Department of Justice has weakened its long-standing prohibition against interfering in elections, according to two department officials.​

​

Avoiding election interference is the overarching principle of DOJ policy on voting-related crimes. In place since at least 1980, the policy generally bars prosecutors not only from making any announcement about ongoing investigations close to an election but also from taking public steps — such as an arrest or a raid — before a vote is finalized because the publicity could tip the balance of a race.​

​

But according to an email sent Friday by an official in the Public Integrity Section in Washington, now if a U.S. attorney’s office suspects election fraud that involves postal workers or military employees, federal investigators will be allowed to take public investigative steps before the polls close, even if those actions risk affecting the outcome of the election.​

​

The email announced “an exception to the general non-interference with elections policy.” The new exemption, the email stated, applied to instances in which “the integrity of any component of the federal government is implicated by election offenses within the scope of the policy including but not limited to misconduct by federal officials or employees administering an aspect of the voting process through the United States Postal Service, the Department of Defense or any other federal department or agency.”​

​

Specifically citing postal workers and military employees is noteworthy, former DOJ officials said. But the exception is written so broadly that it could cover other types of investigations as well, they said.​

So it’s okay for state prosecutors to investigate and bring up charges against President Trump during an election, but not okay for the DOJ to do it to anyone else. Gotcha.

Dumbass, Cy Vance is the DIstrict Atty for Manhattan and he's investigating Trump for tax fraud, which has already been explained in lengthy articles in the NYT.
He has not filed any charges. He's still awaiting the tax returns which in the last hearing, a federal judge said Trump has to turn them over.
The other investigations are being conducted by U.S. Attorneys in the SDNY and Eastern Virginia districts.
Trump's in a lot of trouble, and I hope after he loses in November, these guys swarm him like a cloud of locusts and put his sorry fucking ass in jail.

Wait. What?

YOu are saying the NY DA hasn't seen Trump's tax returns yet, but anonymous sources in that office have leaked the contents of Trump's tax returns to the Fake News NYTs?

How does that work, Stupid?

There is no such thing as widespread mail in voter fraud. Pretending there is a problem with zero evidence while denying voter suppression is disingenuous to say the least.

They both got bi-partisan support. Republicans voted for their confirmation.

" Even before Ginsburg's death, several Democratic presidential hopefuls had said they were open to the idea, including Sens.

With all this cheating going on from the HIGHEST levels of Government, the actual White House, it will be a thing to see how badly they lose IN SPITE of their wickedness.

I really hope so...I've never seen such corruption of our normally non-political institutions in my life time. If the only thing a Biden win accomplishes is the cleaning up and de-politicizing, and the restoring of norms, rules of behavior...it will be more than enough.

The GWB DOJ was very partisan and corrupt, but this is worse.

Barry had his "Wingman" running the DOJ.
