Thread: In case y& #39;all are wondering who at the DOJ is in charge of election law matters at the @TheJusticeDept -- there are two places to look. First, the Civil Rights Division of DOJ, which is headed by Eric Dreiband, Don McGahn (former WH Counsel) law partner. DOJ says it sent/
2/ election personnel to 44 jurisdictions to monitor this election. Curiously, many of these are places with massive problems in this election including Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Maricopa County ... What did they observe exactly ... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht"> https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-again-monitor-compliance-federal-voting-rights-laws-election-day/">https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/ju...
3/ Whatever it was, they aren& #39;t doing anything about it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">and the @realDonaldTrump campaign is filing suits in several states to ensure that all & only legal ballots are counted.

A career guy named Richard Pilger: and if the name seems vaguely familiar at all, it& #39;s because Pilger was deeply involved in the Lois Lerner IRS scandal... https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-pilger-4494b979/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/richar...
6/ Pilger, when subpoenaed to Capitol Hill by House Oversight, Darrell Issa in 2014, refused to answer over three dozen questions under oath on the advice of DOJ attorneys. https://thehill.com/policy/finance/206694-issa-subpoenas-justice-department-on-irs">https://thehill.com/policy/fi... And despite this history, Pilger is STILL in charge of the same department at DOJ/
8/ The government is full of survivors like this -- they burrow in, lurk, and like submarines they surface to survey, then dive & fire torpedos. And you never know what hit you. DOJ civil rights & election integrity have been MIA in this election ... it didn& #39;t have to be so.
