AG Barr Adds Fuel to the Fire by Fanning Trump’s Unsupported Allegations of Widespread Voter Fraud Via Mail in Ballots; Despicable and Dangerous

It’s not just what Barr has now done to SDNY’s Berman, or how he spun the media with a misleading reading of the Mueller report. Barr is now doubling down on President Trump’s wholly unsubstantiated claims of massive voter fraud via absentee ballots:

Attorney General William Barr echoed concerns from President Trump over mail-in voting, saying the method could be particularly susceptible to fraud.

“The thing we have going for us, especially when there’s intense division in the country, is that we have peaceful transfers of power and a way of resolving it is to have an election,” Barr said in an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo that will air Sunday.

“But when state governments start adopting these practices like mail-in ballots, that open the floodgates of potential fraud, then people’s confidence in the outcome of the election is going to be undermined,” he added.

That the chief law enforcement officer of the United States would seek to undermine confidence in the election process without evidence for political gain is not just despicable; it’s dangerous.
