Anon Digging on DOJ Enforcement of Voter Fraud

Oct. 7, 12:40 p.m. EDT

In an internal announcement, the Justice Department created an exception to a decades long policy meant to prevent prosecutors from taking overt investigative steps that might affect the outcome of the vote.

The email announced “an exception to the general non-interference with elections policy.” The new exemption, the email stated, applied to instances in which “the integrity of any component of the federal government is implicated by election offenses within the scope of the policy including but not limited to misconduct by federal officials or employees administering an aspect of the voting process through the United States Postal Service, the Department of Defense or any other federal department or agency.”

Specifically citing postal workers and military employees is noteworthy, former DOJ officials said. But the exception is written so broadly that it could cover other types of investigations as well, they said.
