Attorney General Barr Is Responsible for Suppression of Federal Election Fraud Investigations in Pennsylvania During Certification Window (PA)

[Disputed Fact – Legal characterization of Barr’s authority] Former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania William M. McSwain, in a documented letter, attests that Attorney General William Barr instructed him on Election Day 2020 not to make public statements or issue press releases regarding election irregularities, and directed him to pass all reports to Pennsylvania AG Josh Shapiro – who had pre-election publicly declared that Trump “could not win” Pennsylvania and could not be treated as a neutral party. This instruction prevented the senior federal law enforcement officer in Pennsylvania from publicly addressing election fraud allegations at the precise moment Pennsylvania’s results were determinative of the national outcome. The net effect was that Congress received neither a federal law enforcement assessment of Pennsylvania irregularities nor any public documentation of the specific substantive allegations that U.S. Attorney McSwain had been positioned to evaluate.
