Another good reason to impeach Barr.
BARR AND TRUMP CAMPAIGN FAKED THE "9 MISSING BALLOTS" STORY - AND USED THE DOJ TO DO IT
{UPDATE, 8pm/EST: MSNBC’S Chris Hayes reported on this story tonight and the NYT is aware of it as well and was interviewed.}
This is just incredible.
By now, I’m sure you’ve read the screaming headlines, prompted by the DOJ’s unprecedented public memo about “9 Ballots Tossed Out! 7 of them were for Trump! Fraud!” etc., causing apoplectic reactions from the right-wing media, Trump supporters and the “We’re following the story” MSM?
Yeah — the Trump Campaign SUED TO HAVE THEM TOSSED.
The Trump campaign and the Pennsylvania GOP in a lawsuit argued that “naked ballots” should not be counted. They won that lawsuit. These nine ballots appear to be “naked ballots,” and that appears to be the reason they were thrown out.
In other words: The Trump campaign WON their lawsuit to have “naked ballots” NOT be counted and thrown out — “naked”, meaning, ballots that aren’t mailed in a secrecy envelope. The 9 ballots in this story were all naked ballots — and because the Trump campaign won their lawsuit to have them tossed out and uncounted, they simply WERE.
They caused it THEMSELVES.
And here’s where it gets TRULY messed up:
It’s been reported that Barr “BRIEFED TRUMP” about the whole thing and the GOP’s “investigation” into it — FULLY KNOWING that the reason they were tossed was because of THEIR OWN LAWSUIT, wanting naked ballots to be tossed — so it APPEARS as if Barr conned Trump, seeing a political opportunity to create a FAKE “fraud” story, to make him think there was “fraud” against him with his votes being thrown out, so Trump would angry and get all Twitter-frenzied about it — and then — amazingly — released a FAKE “OUTRAGE” memo to the public, INTENTIONALLY USING THE OFFICE OF THE DOJ TO MAKE THE PUBLIC THINK THERE HAD BEEN “FRAUD” against Trump, when he knew damn well that wasn’t the case and that the campaign had caused it to happen, themselves.
And if the FBI is truly investigating this — and Barr isn’t faking that “FBI investigation” as well — then it means that the FBI could likely discover that Barr INTENTIONALLY MADE THE PUBLIC THINK THERE WAS VOTER FRAUD going on, when he knew there wasn’t — which, if I’m not mistaken, is a FELONY — and, lest it be forgotten — is SPECIFICALLY what the FBI warned that foreign bad actors would be doing against the 2020 election.
Now, I’m no lawyer — but I’m guessing that any future attempt by the Trump campaign or Barr to go to court, citing “fraud” over missing ballots (or at least over “naked” missing ballots) isn’t exactly going to sit well with any judge (well, any non-Trump supporting judge), given that a) they’ve now established a precedent of FAKING “fraud” stories and USING THE OFFICE OF THE DOJ to do it, which, again, I’m pretty sure is illegal — and b) because it’s a BIT hard to sue over something you literally sued to make sure happened in the first place.
But even more importantly — it shows that Barr is not only ACTIVELY HELPING Russia in spreading disinformation about “voter fraud” to the American public — but USING THE OFFICE OF THE DOJ TO DO IT.

TL:DR the discarded Trump ballots were discarded because...Trump and GOP lawyers won a lawsuit requiring them to not be counted!!!

MSNBC’S Chris Hayes:
Additionally, it’s now been confirmed that county officials where those ballots were discarded, per the Trump campaign’s *wishes*, were totally unaware of who the votes were for, UNTIL Barr’s DOJ released that memo to the public — confirming even more that this faked narrative was purely for political gain.
ALSO: Expect them to now make the individual contractor (who was simply following the guidelines established by the Trump campaign’s lawsuit to throw out those “naked” ballots) be the fall guy for the entire thing, to mask the truth that it was because of their own lawsuit that the ballots were tossed.
Full story, HERE.
NOTE: Appreciate the rec’s. Hopefully it will mean that more people see and understand the depths and lengths to which Barr and the campaign are going to spread disinformation to the public and suppress votes (especially since Trump’s SCOTUS pick announcement tonight will likely keep it from being a big story). And please tweet to news outlets and networks to report on this, to counter the initial, false narrative that’s spread over the last 2 days.
