Leftists claimed that Barr investigated the election and found no problem.

Did he?

"Bill Barr sent out a memo on November 9, 2020, saying there should be investigations of the elections.

No investigations were done as a result of that memo. There is only one of the 12 districts that has not yet come in and that’s the eastern district of Pennsylvania.

The US Attorney of the Eastern District asked to investigate issues in his district. Barr denied the request"

Clowntroller will now begin penning his apology.

[Clownkicker]

Why would I apologize for something Barr did or didn't do, dimwit?

Fer cripes sake go to law school and find out what makes someone culpable of something that requires an apology.

You're the one who should apologize. YOU supported Trump's appointments, no matter how incompetent or atrocious. You had nothing but praise for Barr for years, up until he did something you didn't like. Then you tried to smear him by calling him a RINO all of a sudden. But you never apologized for supporting him.

[johnforbes]

Clowntroller has often contended that Barr investigated claims of election problems, but found nothing.

As indicated supra, he apparently initiated no investigation.

To be fair, Biden's margin was wide and he probably did have more ballots, but every election contains fraud (dead people vote, ineligible people vote after moving out of state, etc) and the only serious question is how elections can be made entirely fair (no preference for Dems, Repubs, or any third party) and credible.

Democrats disputed the 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2018 elections, so Democrats are serial election deniers.

But everybody, of every party, ought to be able to have faith that the election process is fair.

"His Lordship has often contended that Barr investigated claims of election problems, but found nothing."-johbnfibs

No, I never said such a thing. What I said is that Barr found no evidence of widespread election fraud because he didn't. Not a single Trump supporter presented a shred of evidence of election fraud. As to any investigations into specific cases, johnforbes has no idea what Barr investigated. All he has is partisan propaganda without any more evidence to back it up than he had evidence to back up his insistence that the election was stolen.

Of course, the actual reason there were no investigations carried out as the result of Barr's memo was that when Barr authorized prosecutors to investigate, no one found reason to investigate because no one ever brought them any evidence of fraud. Then the top elections crime official quit rather than validate Trump's loss. When no prosecutors found any "substantial allegations" to investigate, Barr accepted their findings.

This is the key term that johnforbes is conveniently leaving out of his partisan propaganda, which is that there were never any "substantial" cases presented to any Justice Department officials to investigate. There was never any evidence to support an investigation of any of the purely partisan allegations, so why would any of them waste the time and resources to look into them further?


"Last month, Barr issued a directive to U.S. attorneys across the country allowing them to pursue any “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election was certified, despite no evidence at that time of widespread fraud. That memorandum gave prosecutors the ability to go around longstanding Justice Department policy that normally would prohibit such overt actions before the election was certified. Soon after it was issued, the department’s top elections crime official announced he would step aside from that position because of the memo."-AP

johnny, disputing election results, but then accepting the results after their being looked into, is not "denying" the election, dimwit. Why must you always resort to lies to make an argument?

Accepting certified results is the exact opposite of "denying" an election. Denying election results is what Trump and his minions are still doing. They have never accepted the certified results.

johnforbes will now offer his apology for mindlessly accepting and regurgitating his usual swill of partisan slop from his handlers.

[johnforbes]

Why have we all honored the postings of Mr. Forbes over the decades?

Sure, his wit and wisdom, his charm and charisma, his looks and litheness, but beyond all that reposes the sound evidentiary basis for his assertions.

As usual, Mr. Forbes has the evidentiary support.

[Clownkicker]

johnforbes clearly has a problem with the concept of "apologies" for promoting false narratives.

Otherwise he would have offered one instead of just offering another lie about his utter lack of any "evidentiary support" for his assertion.

We will await another apology for that one.

[Clownkicker]

You don't need Barr to personally investigate. Here's an example of how little voter fraud has been found by Arizona Republicans after years of investigation:

"The Washington Post has conducted an analysis of of actions taken by a special unit in the Arizona attorney general's office intended to ferret out voter fraud cases and found that it has only prosecuted 20 cases over the span of three years, which is only slightly higher than the 16 cases of voter fraud prosecuted in Arizona in a previous six-year period.

What's more, none of the cases prosecuted point to the kind of sweeping, systemic voter fraud that former President Donald Trump has falsely claimed cost him the 2020 presidential election.

Included among the prosecutions are "six felons who cast ballots though their voting rights were not restored, and three women who turned in ballots for their mothers, who had recently died," the Post reports."-Brad Reed


And of course there is no indication that all of these whopping 20 cases of voter fraud were in favor of Biden instead of Trump. The fact is that such voter fraud is usually split roughly evenly between parties, so voter fraud did not sway the Arizona election at all as partisan clowns like johnforbes pretend.

With the grace and good cheer which are part of my brand on the Worldwide Interwebs, I stand ready to receive and evaluate Clowntoker's apology.

He was not only wrong, but abysmally wrong, and surely he will want -- for purposes of cosmic karma -- to apologize for his egregious error.

[Clownkicker]

Can anyone (including johnforbes) explain why johnforbes would want to spend taxpayer money on pointless investigations of alleged crimes for which there was never any evidence whatsoever presented to prosecutors of actual wrongdoing?

I thought Democrats were supposed to be the party of fiscal boondoggles.

johnforbes is not only wrong, but abysmally wrong, and surely he will want -- for purposes of cosmic karma -- to apologize for his egregious errors.

[johnforbes]

I await Clowntroller's apology.

Staring at my Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner, I wait patiently.

Sooner or later, the better angels of Clowntoker's nature (to quote Abe Lincoln) will appear and Clown will apologize.
