At 4:30am Thursday Politico released an article highlighting their spin on leaked internal documents [pdf here] from inside the bowels of the U.S. Department of Justice and the entrenched administrative state. The emails follow the events inside the DOJ in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
The Public Integrity Section of the DOJ, also known as PIN, specifically a multi-decade left-wing (lawfare aligned) bureaucrat named Corey Amundson, was telling the DOJ they FBI should not investigate claims of election fraud in Georgia. As chief of the Public Integrity Section, Admundson was saying the official position of the DOJ-PIN group was to say regardless of evidence of election fraud the DOJ and FBI should stay out of it.
Deputy AG David Bowditch -a man of dubious character and sketchy disposition himself – then forwards the email to his Chief Legal Counsel for advice. The excerpt below [full pdf here] shows the perspective of the DOJ (Bowditch’s legal counsel) toward the advice of the professional bureaucrats inside Main Justice who weaponize investigations only when Democrats lose. Considering how manipulated the election process is in the United States, it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence to see in plain language the unwritten rules as expressed:
…”essentially to allow election fraud to take its course and hope to deter such misconduct in future elections through intervening prosecutions.”
There is nothing quite like reading how the United Stated Department of Justice sits around playing games of selective FBI enforcement based on internal tribal politics.
We all know -or at the very least suspected- that a dual justice system exists; hence the completely divergent outcomes based on political affiliation…. However, given the threats by current AG Merrick Garland toward any state that seeks to eliminate voter fraud, there is value in emphasizing just how political those decisions are.
So there’s a dose of sunlight for today…. Conduct yourselves accordingly.
