In Ohio, US Attorney Rebecca Lutzko, a Biden nominee opposed by Republicans, announced the appointment of two federal prosecutors to serve as “election officers”. In Utah, US Attorney Trina A. Higgins, a Democrat donor and Biden appointee, appointed a “district election officer” to stop any “interference or discrimination in voting” and “threats” against election officials.
Events in Ohio and Utah are part of a larger unprecedented level of Justice Department intervention in the 2024 presidential election in support of the administration’s party.
The DOJ recently sued Virginia and Alabama to ensure that non-citizens would not be removed from voting rolls before Election Day, but those are only a prelude to a more ambitious plan.
Shortly after taking power, the Biden-Harris administration created an Elections Threats Task Force to suppress any scrutiny or criticism of election officials. According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Elections Threats Task Force was launched in response to a “dangerous increase in violent threats against the public servants who administer our elections.”
And yet after 3 years of operating, the Task Force monitored 2,000 threats, opened 100 investigations and only convicted 18 people. The vast majority of claims behind the supposed “dangerous increase” proved to be unsubstantiated, impossible to investigate, let alone charge.
Less than a percent of the basis for the Elections Threats Task Force had any substance at all.
Furthermore those 18 convictions included the case of a mentally unstable career criminal and Lyndon LaRouche supporter who allegedly shot at the residences of New Mexico officials and assorted threats of violence that included a woman sentenced to 30 days in jail and a man sentenced to 18 months of home detention which did not require a special task force.
The Election Threats Task Force includes the heads of the FBI, the DOJ’s Criminal Division and National Security Division and the Department of Homeland Security. That’s a good deal more resources than are needed to cope with a few threats in which no one actually got hurt.
The most striking thing about the Election Threats Task Force was that with one exception, every conviction targeted perceived MAGA activists and candidates. The one exception was a BLM activist’s attempt to assassinate the Democrat mayor of Louisville, Kentucky.
While the Biden-Harris Election Threats Task Force chased down every threat by a Republican that it could verify, the DOJ wilfully allowed threats against Republican officials to continue.
Rep. Jim Banks warned that the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana refused to prosecute threats to his family including a message warning, “three daughters. Hey, hey, hey, three bullets hey, hey, hey one wife yay. Oh yeah, yeah, we’ll give her two bullets.”
The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana is Clifford Darnell Johnson, a Biden appointee, who has announced the appointment of an election officer to stop political threats.
But the supposed threats were never the actual purpose of the Elections Threats Task Force.
All of this is leading up to the DOJ’s Election Day Program deploying FBI agents and DOJ officials nationwide and running a command center to “address events… related to the election in real time.” What sort of election events have to be addressed in real time?
A hotline will go live within a week and every field office will have two FBI agents tasked with responding to reports of local events. First up on the FBI’s list of ‘election crimes’ is “voter suppression” which the Bureau defines as “deceiving qualified voters” by providing them with “false claims about voting qualifications or methods”. The DOJ’s Election Threats Task Force warns that while AI “is not inherently criminal”, it’s a potential “disinformation” threat.
This is not about threats of violence, but about federal control of local elections.
The Department of Justice is directly intervening in local elections to monitor and respond to everything from memes to ‘qualified voters’ being prevented from voting. And to quickly suppress any attempts to scrutinize and demand transparency during and after the election.
Attorney General Merrick Garland claimed that the “founding purpose” of the Justice Department was “protecting our democracy and protecting our elections”. After failing to pass HR1 and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act to federalize elections, the Biden-Harris administration appears to be using the DOJ to influence local elections as much as possible.
The Grant administration founded the Justice Department to stop violence against Republicans by Democrat Party KKK thugs. The last time voter intimidation of that kind happened was during Obama’s first presidential campaign when members of a black supremacist hate group wore uniforms, carried weapons and threatened white voters that “you’re about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.” While the Justice Department brought charges under the Voting Rights Act, the Obama administration decided to give the racist thugs a pass for voter intimidation.
Tom Perez, Biden’s senior advisor, then serving as the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, was a key player in the Philly voter intimidation case and subsequent cover-up.
The Elections Threats Task Force and Election Day Program are not about fighting that actual kind of voter intimidation, but providing federal backup to partisan election officials against state and local officials, intimidating poll watchers and election integrity activists, suppressing political speech and working to ensure that the election outcome is the one sought by the administration.
The DOJ’s unprecedented election interference is based on inventing an imaginary threat which the Department, even with the support of the section heads and the administration, couldn’t even rack up a 1% conviction rate after years of investigations, and exploiting that crisis to closely insert federal forces into elections in a systematic way that threatens the Constitution.
The rapid growth of federal power has eroded the constitutional balance of state power.
The Justice Department has invented a crisis that does not exist to further sideline state authority and the integrity of locally controlled elections. Even while claiming that it is preventing election interference, it is engaging in it. The Elections Threats Task Force’s track record of partisan prosecutions does not inspire any confidence that its election intervention has any purpose other than to serve the partisan agenda of the administration calling the shots.
The DOJ is not the solution to election integrity, instead it is quickly emerging as the threat.
“The most striking thing about the Election Threats Task Force was that with one exception, every conviction targeted perceived MAGA activists and candidates.”
Because they were the ones committing the crimes, DUH
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
― Ayn Rand
Invite them into the Capitol building, close the doors behind them, and voila, they are now all criminals. It’s good to be Nancy Pelosi.
Most know of Ashley Babbitt’s killing inside the Capitol. Few know of Kevin Greeson.
That gratuitous, unwarranted attack on the benign protesters wasn’t designed to disperse; it was designed to inflame.
During which Greeson was hit in the eye by a projectile – inducing a fatal heart attack.
If the DC cops were anything like that lying POS Dunn, they initiated the affair with malice.
The gratuitous barrage lasted for half an hour, until provocateur Ray Epps finally convinced someone to breach a flimsy barricade.
This transcends entrapment.
It was a staged “Reichstag Fire” to end scrutiny of a fraudulent election, and destroy lives of conservatives as a bonus.
This slamdunk idiot thinks criminal activity as simply being a Trump patriot.
Judging by how Sleepy’s justice department is manipulating law like the NKVD, so do they.
Roseanne Boyland and Benjamin Philips were also killed on Jan. 6 by police.
I SAY: “Grand Jury investigation, with subpoena power”! Nancy Pelosi *masterminded This “murderous debacle,” & she is “Delighted”, at her success in scamming this nation!…[ With a lot of help from the corrupt FBI, leadership, & DNC/OBAMMY!
Well said David Ray. On another site I visit where people can post and comment, it’s truly amazing how many leftist loons cling to the “insurrection” like it’s the worst thing that ever happened in the U.S. It’s obvious where these stage 4 TDS sufferers get their “news”. The legacy media has them roped and tied. Any facts that challenge their dysphoria are ignored. They have no interest in hearing anything that goes up against the Democrat agenda. It makes me wonder how many of them look under the bed before going to sleep..
Try adding the Bible to your reading list – although I gave you a thumbs up on this one
Man, are you for real??
Slambunk need s to start his own blog. Then the world at large could be regaled by his irresistible wit and wisdom. “The Daily Troll” might make a good title. Hey, I’m here to help.
What a MESS awaits PRESIDENT TRUMP and his Administration! I PRAY for his safety and SUCCESS!!
MESS? ? ? ? An Political abomination, at best, & crammed full of criminality! Biden Harris, Obammy, Garland, Walz, & Kukla, Fran, &, Ollie! { FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE?…*SUCKS TO BE OBAMMA!} **EXILE THE OBAMA FAMILY BACK TO KENYA!
The Biden DoJ would have made Stalin proud of them.
Biden (via the people who are really running the country) could easily concoct some national emergency a few days before the election and then suspend the election and impose martial law. until he deems that the emergency is over at a time of his choosing.
You can bet that the dems would support such an “emergency” with quiet enthusiasm and I suspect that so would most of the never Trump GOP establishment. They detest the idea of Trump inviting filthy disgusting working class pissants into their party.
I think there are a lot of people, on the right, that would welcome a “fundamental change” to the Republican party. Adversely, there are a lot of Republican politicians that are just fine with how things are and have been for some time. A Trump victory will be considered a threat by the “good ole boys” who are, essentially, placeholders You are correct. Whatever the Dems come up with to stymie Trump’s efforts to create change will get the support of the Republican squishes.
Lavrentiy Beria said “Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime”.
Tell me anything this chickenshit administration is doing that’s different.
Letita James campaigned on “getting Trump” as did other low-octane prosecutors. (The “crimes” they found were dreamed up as an afterthought.)
Dopey Joey ain’t smart enough to put together what we see now. It has been his handlers all along. In support of my claim, he has now been so significantly sidelined he is the epitome of a lame duck president. And yet the emanations and penumbras emanating from his residence has not changed in the slightest since he got the axe and was sidelined.
The chain of continuity has not been broken. So it HAS to be someone else behind that curtain pulling the strings.
Setting up the Steal.
They are also running a cyber security “exercise” to coincide with the voting, supposedly to monitor hacking of the online voting systems.
In other words, they are setting up to do real time manipulation of the voting machines.
So I Guess Garland was dropped on his head a few times that’s why he makes no sense
About the shooting of the Louisville mayoral candidates…
• The BLM activist was in fact black. The candidate is a Jew.
• The bullet tore through the Jew’s shirt and sweater.
• Bail Fund games were played in the local black community. When the suspect was let out, he was greeted in that community like a hero. (!)
• Black BLM shooter was a former editorial writer at the local MSM paper. (!)
• Most all of this was downplayed — or ignored outright — in the local and national media.
• NO Hate Crimes were charged.
• The local Jewish community held NO protests; Made NO noise about any of this. It is simply liberal.
• The mayoral candidates himself did not say a thing about this; he was all “let’s bring the city together” yada yada yada…
• A few old baby boomer Jews who dId grouse about this have found each other, compared notes, and are now among the few ….hated …RACISTS!!!! … in this community.

Agreed – it’s high time for all Hebrews to stand up for ourselves and get into training – you can be an intellectual and an MMA fighter – it takes high intelligence with training to strengthen that intellect and be a deadly force against evil machinations and actions!
Reminding my Yiddisha brothers and sisters that Hebrew is the race and Judaism is the religion or creed and Yeshua is the Messiah – this is all part of steeling the mental focus – the victory Israel has against all enemies in its short history is from training – antisemitism isn’t going to die so quickly – or at all – it will always be seething in the underworld of human muck
Forty years in the desert so as to lose our slavishness. It takes time and resolve.
The Biden-Harris’ DOJ’s directive is to protect those committing election fraud from those seeking to stop election fraud.
“… AND NOW FREE TO CHEAT! Who would dare question anything if the DOJ Goon Squad can take you straight to jail for twenty years “as a threat to our Democracy!”
“OUR SOLDIERS spilled Red Blood so others can have Purple Fingers!” sc —-VOTERS in Iraq and Afghanistan proudly dipped their fingers in PURPLE DYE to ensure no voter fraud… also… one day voting. Our Soldiers gave them that TRUST in their elections and yet, we have VOTER FRAUD HERE???
PROPOSAL: “Random Lie-Detector Tests for all poll workers. REQUIRED tests for all County Clerks and S 0f S with random tests for their employees.”
TEST QUESTION: “Did you, or did you aid anyone, directly or indirectly, to commit Voter Fraud?”
THAT’S WHAT THE DOJ SHOULD BE DOING!
DO NOT MAIL IN YOUR BALLOTS! The mailman sees the campaign mail you are getting, and they will get one of the multiple ballots sent to you, (I got three in 2022.), fill one out with your info and signature, AND THEIR VOTES! USPS funds Democrats and they have held on to ballots and not delivered them due to Conservative districts. They also sat on overseas Military ballots. THEY DON’T CARE because they have to keep Trump out “as a threat to our Democracy! THEY’RE LAUGHING!
Purple dye. That’s a good idea. Paper ballots and all voting on the same day, etc.
That would restore trust in our elections. It appears the left has determined half the country is to stupid to make an informed decision so they’ll make it for them. Sadly, the DOJ is of the same mind and will “assist” in restoring faith in the system. Even casting your vote, in person at a polling station no longer guarantees it will be read as written. The Feds should be told, by local election officials, to get the hell out of what is designed to be “local”.
The DOJ recently sued Virginia and Alabama to ensure that non-citizens would not be removed from voting rolls before Election Day, Voting by non-citizens in a Federal election is illegal, punishable by a fine or imprisonment. There fore the DOJ by bringing a law suite is party to encouraging non-citizens to vote. The DOJ needs to be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
In many election suits after the election of 2020, cases were dismissed for lack of standing. Yet, somehow the DOJ has standing to sue on behalf of those identifying as non-citizens, who should not have standing and brought no action.
A MEXICAN CITIZEN, Idalia Lechuga-Tena, living here in Albuquerque, who was applying and not Legal yet, VOTED TWICE and was caught. “I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to.” LIAR! She’s a Democrat activist and suspicions is she encouraged others to do the same. DEMOCRAT DA, Kari Brandenburg, did NOT file charges against her! (SOS… we’re over-run with corruption and the FBI labeled NM as “The Most Corrupt State” during the Bill Richardson years.)
She then becomes a citizen and runs for a seat in the Legislature. She loses. Runs again but her opponent caught her using an address of her rental home in The War Zone, full of Mexican criminals. She evicted the tenants to then pretend to move in, defeated anyway. No worries, she now has a State job making six figures! (I met her once and she said, “I don’t associate with Republicans.” Her father in Mexico owned the largest Lettuce farm, Lechuga in Spanish and her name.) (ABQ is #1 and 2 in crime beating out Chicago and so many large cities. Democrat DA’s who just release them to then be free to commit another crime within 24 hours… the released again. This thanks to the ACLU! Another statistic came out that ABQ is the #13 MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN… THE WORLD! NM IS PURE BLUE… Gov, a Pendeja Marxista, House and Senate, and Legislature which has ruled NM for 90 years!)
“The rapid growth of federal power has eroded the constitutional balance of state power.”
Repeal the 17th Amendment. Restore States rights.
If Kamala loses, 15,000,000 harvested mail in ballots, 99.9999999999999999999999% of them cast for Kamala Harris and Tampon Timmy will suddenly turn up. BTW, who’s the real “threat to democracy”?
Communism has never been voted out.
Show me a liberal lawyer in public office and I’ll show you a corrupt politician.
After seeing Garland in action, it’s staggering to think that Obama nominated him as a Supreme Court Justice. Thankfully, this was thwarted.
And that should tell you all you need to know about who is really running our corrupt justice system.
PARTY GETAPO MAN GARLAND will protect illegals voting just as he has Kamala Harris and Planned Parenthood’ assult on pro-lifers.
Everyday the NEO-FASCIST DEMOCRAT PARTY becomes more lawless, more desperate and more dangerous to our democracy.

Biden-appointed federal judge bars Virginia from purging possible non-citizen voters on its rolls
By Rajan Laad
Last week, U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles granted an injunction request by the Justice Department brought against Virginia election officials.
The ruling mandates the restoration of the voter registrations to 1,600 ineligible individuals.
The urgent need for voter ID
By Ronald Beaty
In an era where technology and information are at our fingertips, it’s paradoxical that one of our most sacred democratic acts, voting, remains vulnerable to manipulation and mistrust. The implementation of voter ID laws isn’t just a policy suggestion; it’s a cornerstone for the future of our democratic integrity.
The call for voter ID is not a call to suppress but to uplift. It’s an invitation to each American to step forward with proof of their stake in this nation, a nation where the voice of the citizen is louder than the whisper of doubt. Implementing voter ID isn’t about locking down our democracy; it’s about ensuring that when we speak through our votes, our words are heard clearly, counted correctly, and respected universally.
In this pivotal moment, let’s choose the path that reinforces trust, enhances security, and celebrates the democratic process. Let’s vote for voter ID, not as a mere policy change, but as a transformative step towards a democracy that is not only safeguarded but also revered for its integrity.
Forty years in the desert so as to lose our slavishness.
It takes time and resolve.
