What the media with the help of the Associated Press did earlier this week is a total disinformation campaign targeted at Trump supporters.
The Left couldn’t have been happier that everyone took the bait…
Barr’s celebrity status in right-wing media has taken a hit after his election fraud comments. Newsmax’s Greg Kelly wonders if he’s “just a bureaucrat.” Lou Dobbs is calling him “a liar or a fool” and suggesting he’s “compromised.” And they’re not alone… https://t.co/DfjNPX4muF

A Department of Justice spokesperson corrected the media.
#NEW Dept of Justice spokesperson:
“Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of #electionfraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. That is not what the AP reported nor what the AG states. (1/2)— Kevin Corke (@kevincorke) December 2, 2020
(2/2)
The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible.”#DOJ #electionfraud— Kevin Corke (@kevincorke) December 2, 2020
Barr said, “There’s a growing tendency to use the criminal justice system as sort of a default fix-all, and people don’t like something they want the Department of Justice to come in and ‘investigate,’” he said.
“Most claims of fraud are very particularized to a particular set of circumstances or actors or conduct. They are not systemic allegations [and] those have been run down; they are being run down,” he added. “Some have been broad and potentially cover a few thousand votes. They have been followed up on.”
Probably not the best choice of words and the media ran with them.
Did Barr screw up a bit? Yes, but remember you are being targeted.
I’m not trying to get all tinfoil hat and I’m certainly not trying to protect Barr, but follow me here.
The conservative group Project Veritas has been recording Jeff Zucker’s 9:00 am phone calls, the group is publishing them all. During the phone calls, Zucker is heard ordering his staff to consider false conspiracy theories.
CNN is drumming up fake news stories and twisting words in a bid to stop the President from winning the 2020 Presidential election.
Here’s an example…

This all leads me to what just happened and what’s about to happen in the Supreme Court.
Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Kelly and Republican candidate Sean Parnell filed a 40-page emergency application to the US Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito. The filing pressures the court to stop the certification of Pennsylvania’s election results.
Last week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that despite the fact that the election law passed earlier this year was unconstitutional it’s too late and they are going to certify the results.
Attorneys representing Parnell and Kelly are rightly claiming they couldn’t have brought a suit earlier because they didn’t have a case.
If the Supreme Court halts the certification of the results of the federal election in Pennsylvania, the news is going to go off in left-wing circles like a nuclear bomb.
This is why the Associated Press and CNN are going after Barr, the simple game of divide and conquer.
Trump’s goal is to get his case before SCOTUS and what happens next is a huge step.
Also consider this, if Parnell and Kelly are victorious Pelosi’s “majority” is down to two.
There’s a lot at stake here and that’s why we are getting these fake news stories. Should Barr have used better words? Yes. Should he have given an interview to the AP? No. Why do Republicans keep falling prey to media? I have no idea, they should know better.
